About Tony, that's just my impression. <br /><br />None of this is supposed to be the final word on anything, it's a jumping off place for thinking about it.

Although this is slightly off topic, I would say that most live sound people also don't listen to the drum set as one instrument, hence the " let's hear your kick (shudder), now the snare" etc approach to sound checking. The instrument is played as one. Why listen to it as components? Ted Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655227337670232574noreply@blogger.com
