Complaints about the sound at Glade 2008

[pesh]

nah, they work very well with a lot of music, it's just a personal preference thing, i do think they should sack off the ambisonic nonsense thou

ERM NO! I won't adjust, that would be fucking shite that would. For many reasons that im not allowed to mention.

I have thought about that idea a number of times - and i have to say it makes perfect sense to me.

Music from 10am until 2am would not make any difference to me, who cares what time headliners etc are on! As long as the music they play can be heard by everybody who is trying to enjoy it and nobody else then all is good

That's the only thing that matters to me. It could start at 8am and finish at 11pm and I wouldn't be too bothered. Just start partying earlier, no? Having said that, it's well nice to come out of a tent at 4am and only have an hour to wait before sunrise on Sunday.

Pesh, if they're limiting the volumes by measuring inside the tents then that seems to me to be because of overzealous H&S limits, i.e. designed to protect the hearing of poor clubbers, not to help the neighbours sleep. (I still think issuing free comfy foam ear plugs to all residents would be a good idea, I can't believe anyone is THAT bothered about wearing them for one weekend a year.)

I really don't understand what the limits are there for, and why they're measured the way they do, because it seems totally at odds.

If Ans was visiting the surrounding villages, was this to identify the levels to which individual stages needed to be limited? This would make sense.

also Ans was going round the local villages with the environmental health officer identifing any stages that were a problem, Sancho Panza with it's open sided tent was identified as being a problem and was rectified allowing both Overkill and Breaksday to go back up to their maximum limit. Liquid with it's enclosed tent and additional sound deadening material round the sides never had any complaints. and it sounded the best
Opus, Frank, Plank and Jody FTW!

This to me is ecouraging for next year - if the lesson is learnt then simply don't have any open sided tents next year - least that way we can have Sat night's levels both nights - not as loud as we might like but hell of a big improvement if we dont get one of the nights partially ruined in some of the tents next year.

Ally this to a no-mc policy after midnight and reckon we're onto a winner - well maybe not as much of a winner as being able to blast it out all night, but a winner never-the-less.

Also, can we have the techno stage opening at 10pm like it did in 2007 - least that way the techno stage gets some time to get going before the noise police start their shit!

Appreciate thats not possible with the merged Glade and Vapor stage set-up and can see the reasons for doing this, but please don't!

But I love partying on until the early hours Rarely get that privilege

No, you're very right, thats why one weekend a year its nice to have a good chunk of what i want.

I just dont jump on MC slating bandwagons. Nor any other bandwagon. Fact is MC's enhance some people's nights. Some piss all over it. I still think we should be allowed loud volumes, including MC's, at 4am in the morning, one weekend a year. I have had many a night where the MC has said something and I have agreed with the simplest thing they've said because they can highlight a united feeling. The ones that keep reminding me where I am can get fucked.
