Thread Name: Acoustic vs. Electric
Subject: RE: Acoustic vs. Electric
So long as we are able to chose between the two. Many of our festivals here in Australia suffer from amplified takeover. Venues that are unamplified have to be very well soundproofed (and they rarely are) for the loud music not to bleed through. I personally prefer to listen and to perform in unamplified venues but if the tent next door has loud amplified music you can be sure who will win. Where the music is intended as background - and I personally hate that and won't go there unless I'm paid - it's a different matter.
