Big band headache
The Riverside Theatre的点评
点评：I had booked to see the 'Horn Factory', a group of ensemble musicians from all over East Anglia, perform Big Band Jazz, which I love.
As a novice to live music at the venue, I was ill-prepared for the appallingly high level of the amplification, especially as the only remaining spaces, having booked late, were in the front row. Now I know why the seats either side of me, as the metaphorical curtain went up, were unoccupied.
Coming from a broadcasting background, I know more than a little about sound balance - and this wasn't at all good.
Watching an instrument on the left of the stage coming out of the right speaker totally ruined it for me.
Apart from the fact the conductor/compere had rather TOO much to say and kept referring to 'this evening' throughout the AFTERNOON performance, the level of his radio-microphone - when it worked - was FAR too high. I tried to tell this to the technician when he came to replace the mic with a cabled version, to no avail.
How he hadn't noticed that the mic on the electric piano was also cutting out intermittently defeats me.
The music was actually very good and seemed to be much appreciated by the capacity audience. But after 45 minutes of putting my finger in my right ear when a trumpet player hit an especially high note, I had such a headache, there was no option other than to leave.
Standing at the back briefly as I put on my jumper and coat - it was far too warm for my liking - the sound was somewhat better, but I do question the need for a big band to have such a high level of amplification at all in such a relatively small venue.
Or maybe they were recording it? Who knows?

翻译：我预订了“号角工厂”（Horn Factory）的演出，这是一个由来自东安格利亚各地的音乐家组成的乐团，他们将演奏我非常喜欢的大乐队爵士乐。
由于我是第一次在这个场地欣赏现场音乐，所以完全没有预料到音响音量会如此之大，尤其是我订票很晚，只剩下前排的座位了。现在我终于明白为什么当演出拉开帷幕时，我两侧的座位都空着了。
我之前从事广播行业，对声音平衡略知一二——而这场演出的音响效果实在糟糕。
看着舞台左侧的乐器声音从右侧的扬声器里传出来，彻底毁了我的观演体验。
除了指挥/主持人滔滔不绝地讲个不停，而且在下午的演出中一直强调“今晚”之外，他的无线麦克风音量——即便偶尔能用——也高得离谱。我曾试图在技术人员来更换有线麦克风时告诉他这个问题，但他毫无反应。
他竟然没注意到电钢琴上的麦克风也时不时断断续续地工作，这真是让我百思不得其解。
音乐其实非常精彩，满座的观众似乎也很享受。但是，在小号手吹奏高音时，我不得不捂住右耳45分钟，结果头疼得厉害，只好离开。
我走到后面，穿上毛衣和外套——实在太热了——声音稍微好了一些，但我还是不明白，这么小的场地，一个大型乐队真的需要这么大的音量吗？
或许他们是在录音？谁知道呢？
