50% talkin means 50% less music being played which that's what you're hired to do
Agree. I've never worked a NH but that's certainly true in every other venue. Generally speaking, we're way more interesting to ourselves than we are to other people. I can barely make it through even a factory demo that's 50% talk. I want to HEAR what an instrument can do, not what you SAY it can do. JMO.
