David Byrne's book 'Como funciona la musica' (sorry I've got the Spanish version but it's probably called 'How music works' in English) is also worth a read.

A lot of that makes sense.
I've lived and gigged in los angeles my whole life and I know the venues here. I too have found that certain amps/guitars sound better or worse in different rooms ... though I don't actually do much about it(?). The only time that I make a 'conscious' decision to bring a particular guitar or amp is predicated on how dirty the AC is in the venue. There's a few places I will not bring a single coil pkup guitar (or make sure I have a noise gate with me). *In a similar vein is the bio of Alan Lomax http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Lomax Book ... http://www.johnszwed.com/ Highly recommended. It pulled many 'loose ends' together and I learned a lot. This post has been edited by klasaine: May 25 2014, 04:29 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

I used to run sound in a venue that was an old theater. I would get people in there FREAKING out because their rig was humming. I had to explain that it was the lights and electrics making it happen. Not a bad patch cable or anything.
It's a tough thing to figure out how to asses volume and tone and make adjustments in a live environment. But it makes you appreciate the old classic studios that had those great sounding rooms.
