 BG> You've got to cut down on that Pascal programming a bit!!
How 'bout assembley? ;)
In all seriousness though, is the header a bit lengthly in here?
 BG> I think it comes from too much misuse of the "Loudness" control, which

Ever since I picked up an EQ for my home system I've left that button alone. 
I've set it (the EQ) up to compensate for weaknesses in the speakers & lousy 
placement; add the loudness control at any volume, and things are just too 
boomy for my ears.
 BG> (Fletcher-Munson curve)not at loud volumes.
Eek. I'm a programmer, not an audiophile! :)
On a side note, the deck I have in the car seems to have an auto-loudness 
control, which seems to do the job quite nicely. A better muffler would help 
immensely though. :)

Hard to say. The mixer was positioned more or less in the center of the room, 
and I was at a table directly behind it. The club was known to have crummy 
acoustics though. Not a bad place, but a strange setup for a bar. It had a 
tiered arrangement, much like a playhouse theatre.
 DG>> [snort] And people wonder why I wear earplugs to concerts/clubs...
 BG> Know what you mean!
I started with the earplugs after giving myself a good scare a number of 
years ago at a concert. My ears were ringing for a good two days following 
the event. :/

... One string bass player was so bad, even his section noticed.
