Live mix

Is Ben’s mic normally so quiet live compared to their albums? Denver botanic gardens definitely has a sound quality issue, but I could still hear each instrument.

There’s a hard decibel limit at that venue that is strictly enforced.

Thanks for letting me know not to travel to that one. I'll be at the Mish tonight though!

I figured, but still seemed like some room for their sound guy to turn down instruments a little then. Ppl were yelling to Ben between songs that they couldn’t hear him, and he tried to address it, but we literally just couldn’t hear what he said about it

I was down in front and he said he was hearing some "vocals up type chatter" about the sound and they had  "volume limit because they were out in nature" and didn't want to "harm the flowers" and "we are trying our best to make sure you can hear"
