I was at a restaurant last night and they had a guy there, playing a guitar and singing. His vocals were actually balanced so you didn't have to strain to hear them. Usually when I hear bands around here that isn't the case and I've complained about it before. I know it's easier to balance the vocals when it is just them and a guitar than when it's a full band, but it sure was nice all the same.

It's always nice when you can actually hear the vocals. That is, assuming they are worth hearing! Laughing

Do you ever mention the mix to the band? I don't, because I think it would be rude, but maybe they'd appreciate the feedback.

I've mentioned the mix to bands before, but only because they asked. I wouldn't give random feedback because in general I think unsolicited advice is rude.

I had this dilemma a couple nights ago. Even my husband was commenting that the bass was too heavy and he normally doesn't notice things like that. He thought I should say something, but like audioaudio, I thought it might be rude.

I think you should mention it if there mixing sound from the stage, let them know at break time they sound good, but it's hard to hear the vocal's and they'll usually correct it. At least the one's I've said something to anyway. By the end of the night they appreciated the advice, and it turned out to be one of there better gigs. Just be nice is the key.

Thanks for the advice, Bill. I've always been concerned they might take it personally if I told them, but it sounds like, at least in your experience, the band takes it pretty well.

Having mixed all sorts of venues I always find it helpful when I get feedback from the audience. I don't take opinions personally and if there is something that can be fixed that I am missing, I will. Just be courteous when you ask and also feel free to give thanks as well. Just my two cents worth.
