Do you think the audiences notices anything much at all? LOL

They are either having a good time, or not. And the process for doing that concerns them absolutely not at all! Most of them nowadays don't care if you sing flat, play badly, or use tracks for everything..!

Why would they care how the EQ is set up for your piano sound..?

But, unconsciously, they either like you or they don't. And not grating on their ears by trying to do a sensitive ballad on a bright, tinkly, unrealistic piano sound (when you KNOW that the CD's they like sure don't go that route!) will help them like you, even if they don't know WHY.

There are times when I wonder if you think the audience cares about ANYTHING, Donny... And the truth is, no, not really. Other than they have a good time or not. But how you set up your sound, what songs you pick, how you present yourself affects that. But they don't know WHY they like you or not.

But we do, don't we?
