Maybe a few pedals. no stereo, just like stan. >On the subject of stereo......whats wrong with it? I think my original question got lost and never really answered. it wasn't "is stereo useful?" or "how do you use stereo?" or "why use stereo?". Of course it makes sense if you are talking about recorded music in headphones, or playing ambient music to 19 people in a cafe. that isn't the question. I was wondering about a broader scope of live performance -> Where does stereo work and not work? If it is a large club with 1900 people and a big PA, is a stereo rig useful? What about an outdoor festival? Or even a larger cafe where you are stuck over in the corner somewhere and most of the audience are not in a proper stereo field. What i'm wondering is how the stereo effects come across in these situations, since it seems to me most of the audience won't be in a proper stereo field. Is stereo actually useful, pointless, or harmful? does it work for all the members of a band to provide a stereo feed in a large club? How would the sound person use that? Would he really pan each member hard left and right? Or would he reposition each person's stereo image in his stereo field? Or would he laugh at you and sum everybody to mono and mix you his way? Does anybody here have real experiences with this to share? And then I wondered about dance clubs. When people make dance music intended for listening, it often obviously uses stereo. Sounds nice in the headphones, but that is not the real environment for dance music. what actually happens in real dance clubs? kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
