Going to be recording dependant to an extent. What were you listening to?
I've had set ups where the vocalist or featured instrument has been too forward and eclipses all else, and set ups where it sounds like they or it is two towns over. Usually it was a combination of things that was the problem. Not that I'm saying it is a problem if that's how you like it. It bugs me though. I recall a bloke saying to me at a show one time that he didn't like a particular horn speaker system because the images were 'Too big.' I didn't get that at the time but I went back and had another listen and he was right.
Current Lash Up:
