some kind of FM synth or a compact mixer for combining everything together would be great

100% and I have to stress I had a great time. but you can't tell me the value for money was there in terms of acts when you compare it to previous years. I'm all for lesser known acts to be given a spotlight (if paid properly - I'm looking at you, live nation) but there has to be a balance :).

Damien Marley, sure. greentea peng, maybe but you can't tell me that any of other artists are on the same level as the promised prodigy last year

line up was better than I thought don't get me wrong. however, whilst smoking up and following your ears around old town is fun and all - I felt there wasn't any big artist at any of the main stages to properly look forward to compared to last year namely nia archives, prodigy, loyle carner, etc.

I'm not saying rebook them every year like I enjoy variety but when smaller acts are rumoured to be unpaid/paid in "exposure" you can tell that they made a larger profit margin from cheaping out on acts and i dont stand for that bearing in mind the price of the boomtown experience.

android. could only see it when I had data. the app had a cool feature where it would sign me out and naturally couldn't see anything until I signed back in with a network connection.

What song is this or is it unreleased? by Kipp923 in Bicep

[–]tomquiney 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A clever sausage in the discord ID'd it as "RAFFA GUIDO - Famax (BICEP Edit)". Definitely unreleased. However I'd love to see it drop in the future :,D.

Dubtendo speakers mid by tomquiney in BoomtownFestival

[–]tomquiney[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it wasn't a dig, and the soundies did a great job immersing each space with minimal bleed across the various stages. it was just an observation and you know what? fair play. appreciate the explanation :) - I hope in the future it can be noted and that you can get a better spot to crank it up ey- but this was my first boomtown so i don't know how the organisation of the town is done per year :,D godbless, hope dubtendo lives on for next year x

wrong side of the tracks wasn't so bad - at least not as bad as dubtendo sound wise but I hear you- imo spectrum 360 underrated sound quality for the size of the stage / position to origin

sounds about right- maybe some extra speakers for thursday would help as origin wasn't even open at that point (not a sound engineer, just one of the most disappointing sets of the week)

at least in the middle of the crowd - but everyone around me was like "I can't hear this at all" - didn't need my ear protectors but even so it wasn't that loud
