I can understand how it upsets promoters when people post negative comments in their promo threads about venue sound etc.
I figured this would be a better way to provide feedback
Following on from some comments about the sound at Miss Libs, I though I'd throw my 2cent into the ring.
There was definitley problems when Skream played there when it first opened but to their credit Miss Libs have changed the DJ set up which improved things quite a bit. I know that some people behind the scences work really hard to improve things for DJ's and punters. The recent renovations to the front of the venue where smokers can drink is an excellent improvement.

Se7en is still open, maybe someone should hold a re-union christmas party there
actually, no if its the event i think you are talking about, it wont be held at se7en again, a new club called Red Bennies will be where it would be.

Hi-Fi's sound has rattled my chest the most in terms of a venue.
But I guess opinions are like arseholes...everyone has one.

yeah, i was never hugely taken with laundry's sound until hooves got in before the lock and realigned it not long before it shut. the sound at that last distance gig was shockingly good, put basically every other venue in melbourne to shame. pretty gutting that it's closed now, but oh well. looks like roxanne are starting to pick up the flame for interesting music and hopefully a decent system (will be interested to see how it turns out). i swear everytime i go there i'm the only one not off my jaw on beans though.
ain't no heartical hifi tho. melbourne's only soundsystem.

What really gets me is the venue fads the dnb scene seems to go through.
Crews seem to align themselves with a venue and stick with it for a year or so and then shuffle onto the next and repeat.
There was a time when it would get mixed up from gig to gig - or was it just that there were more crews putting on parties...?
Would much prefer if gigs moved around a bit to keep it interesting rather than getting venue overload before moving to the next and repeat...

What, apart from the fact he played Dubstep?
If I can be serious for a moment though, I've always liked the sound in Miss Libs. I really enjoyed Hudson Mohawk there.
The Espy, on the other hand... I missing out on the Wailers because it's being held there, because it's crap sound, crap arrangement of the area they've got, and after 3 events where there was clear issues with everything and complaints, they still aren't trying to rectify the issues, so they can go get fucked.

When I saw Amp Fiddler at Libs, the mix/engineering were spectacular.... absolutely amazing.. I guess it all comes down to the skill of the engineer at hand. You can have a $300K rig and still have a shit sound if you're a shit engineer.

Keeping it interesting is all well and good if you can take the sound system with you, but if you've got one or two shots a year to put on a kickass gig it's a bit of a risk flipping between venues.

Funktion One
Problem solved.
Whenever anyone has had these, even temporarily (Brown Alley with Hernan Cattaneo in 2007 comes to mind), sound quality has been fantastic.

depends. laundry's funktion 1 was honestly sounding very weak indeed until it got properly aligned. so some amount of years of not great sound, 4 weeks of it sounding weighty. ah well.
they can be gangsta tho.

Yeah word on Laundry. In the over 15 years I have been going to Laundry I never been that keen on the sound. Its always cause mates and closeness that I have gone there.
Sound is such a fiddly bitch and much respect to the engineers out there that really try to get the highest sound quality from each venue. Nowhere is built for sound first and any other considerations second.
A bit out of leftfield but the best sound I can remember is QBH many years ago with LTJ Bukem and Conrad. Just hate the joint.
Oh just remembered, a warehouse party in Port Melbourne also many years ago (shit living in the past eh?) where Lex played a dynamite late late set (of course) to an almost empty room. Awesome sound.

the sound at distance was a 100% improvement, no joke. i was actually kind of dreading it due to how the sound had been in general, but was stunned as soon as i could walk in back, and it was not only punchy but also weighty, right the way to the back of the room. no joke, it was like a whole new system. pete will back me up.
(of course, it's not heartical hifi, melbourne's only soundsystem.
