it was deffo. quieter at the classics night...which was MINT cause it improved the sound dramatically! the vocals sounded far crisper than normal etc...was a big improvement! and my ears werent even that bad at the end!
it seems quieter these days by a little on all nights which is good in my old age! as mrmonkey says it definatly makes the quality of the sound better IMO
i went to foundation 4 times over xmas when i was back felix @ genre lexicon ave nye shindig ressies apart from nye they all sounded quieter. i just thought it would have been me and my mates who noticed it. i think it was because those big fuck off sub woofer speakers on the ceiling were turned off? when they know it'll be quite they must do that to save costs??
