I don’t know what’s going on. Tosca last week and La Boheme this week have been so dynamic. I’m getting complaints about it being both too loud and too quiet. Ands of course some people say it’s just right. That’s mostly down to the sound engineer at the Met in New York, but I’m the one getting the complaints. I’m trying to balance out the levels but it’s all over the place.
I wonder if the Behringer can handle it somehow? Can I set it so there’s an upper limit and lower limit? This seems like something the board should be able to handle better and faster than I can.
On the plus side, the scenes from backstage during the intermissions are completely fascinating. It’s competence porn for production people.
