npub103tf8tphd44zpth69x46lf2ym0cckk3z59dvrl68vl5uylx0599q7ym2kn (npub103t…m2kn) npub1dldgaj4fphpwntqs87hkmz7tr2n9q3efshewzuuqxeyj450j0ecs96yy2a (npub1dld…yy2a) firstly I love that you are a fellow bootlegger! I am tempted to record everything but batteries and consent hold me back.
And I can see how actually listening through in many contexts you are most likely correct but I totally, as a sound tech and musician, disagree with the idea that bands should maximize their stage volume!
It makes sense when it's like a like a two speaker PA and Debbie (who is also doing door and working bar ) is in charge of the mixer but if you are playing in a venue with a dedicated sound tech, especially if you get a full sound check, unless you are going for like specific sonic events (certain kinds of amp breakups or feedback moments) it's a really great thing to be able to keep the stage volume as low as possible - loud enough to feel fun but not overwhelming.
The sound tech can amp it up in the room.
Its better for your ears and also helps to reduce some of the issues you address later on RE:vox. That said playing at moderate volume is for sure something you need to practice to make sure you can do it without the performance suffering. Anyhow I'm like a big big believer about this one thing...
