    Get yerself to sankey's in Manchester, thats proof that you can't have too big a sound system. It's a phazon rig originally designed for HOME in london, rigged up in a venue a quarter of the size and it's the only sound system I've heard that tops Foundation.

    sankey's has the 2nd best system i've heard in a club...

    the best was the boat last nyd before matt hardwick came on (and turned it up way to loud)...when adam sheridan was on it was deafening but crystal clear!immense

    alex > andysoundandlightman does walk round to check the sound before the club opens, there is no mixer (i don't think), but a collection of amp's in a room behind the dj box which are continually checked during the night to make sure there is no peaking etc

    Theres no mixers with eq's to mix the sound well I think theres the problem how do you expect to have a good sound without any equipment to make it sound good.

    I reckon it's probably due to the fact that you defended your mate and it turned out not to be your mate who had said that in the first place, and now you feel a bit of a tit :p

    no hard feelings of course! :D

    whats the mixer for in the DJ booth for?

    And it's FOUNDATION'S equipment, rather than Promise's. If you've not been to any other night at Foundation - how can u comment?

    If you don't like the place - stop coming on here, moaning about how bad it was and plugging your 'DJ talents' and your productions.

    I was at tomcraft 1) his style is bass heavy 2) he probably fucked on with the eq's on the desk.

    I reckon Xanda has a point here - although its being lost in the quagmire of people who wont accept any failings on the club side, and Xandas camp reacting and trying to argue with insults instead of facts.

    Come on, lets just admit the sound system in foundation is a bit bassy and the hi range suffers a bit because of it .... no?

    Agreed, it's just when people say its shit, or the kit is wrong I have to laugh a bit. The sound is deffo setup for Dig's sound more than Promise's.

    i too was arguing with his points - rather than just slating him because he said it was shite - i also agree it is bass heavy.

    i don't like his "i know everything" attitude and arrogance when he clearly needs more experience b4 he starts laying down the law to whats right and wrong....

    Yep - Its a pity so many people come on here and start laying into things before their post count even hits treble figures.

    is this still going on? :p

    I dont think it sounds that good, not compared to places like the republic, the sub club etc. it isnt that clear, and only really works with dark housey stuff imo. it sounds class in the DJ box bit tho, and upstairs is really good. its normally ok for promise. its was pretty bad @ wax on, but i htink that was probably down to mylo.

    Xander is only posting about it cos his PS2 is broke and he cant play on San Andreas anymore :p

    Honestly though, hes just a young Victor Meldrew and foundation will be a much nicer place without some angry youth whos read a few books and thinks hes the Zen of sound. And as for losing customers cos his m8 Alf Garnet thinks alike, then good bloody riddance!!
