I was wondering why the bass / beat volume is always so damn loud, which makes it almost impossible to listen to the melody and vocals.
Saw PvD last saturday and songs like satellite were almost impossible to listen to the vocals.....
It s not the first time...with AvB, Ferry Corsten etc...it was kind of the same....
Next time I am going with ear-plugs....

Yup, he plays the 'Alx Oddenīs Flipside Vocal Mix' every now and then.
I think itīs ok, this remix is great, so why not...

Buy some earplugs. Seriously they will protect your ears and the music will sound a whole lot clearer, 2 birds, one stone.
Search for "Elacin ER20"

I've noticed the same thing. It seems like most clubs don't care about the actual sound quality as long as it's loud as fuck.
This kind of thing is why I'm not going in some events anymore. It can totally ruins your night.

Thankfully the biggest club and event-organizer here has a great sound system with crystal clear quality, so can't complain much. But I know exactly what you mean, some people think "as loud as possible = better", it ruined some house parties and half-assed events I've been to.

I Love some nice deep loud bass in DnB events.
With Trance I do prefer the mid range to be up but not too high , and if the highs are too high it can js sound like a mish mash of high hats,esp after 9 hours, not like we've got a choice though

I want to have my cake and eat it too.. I want to feel the bass shake my body but I don't want it to drown out the music... I may look into some decent earplugs..
Yeah..he played satellite..and of course For an Angel and Time of our lives... A coupel of others form his previews albums, but the bass was to strong to i.d. the rest
Donīt get me wrong, I love some strong bass, but together with the melody and vocals
Iīll use some earplugs next time for sure.

Don't ear plugs mostly block out high frequencies though?

yea if u get the cheap foam type plugs, they make the sound muffled and really bad. Theres only one way to get the proper ones and thats going to an audiologist, or equivalent professional. They will custom make a set of plugs that fit YOUR ear shape, and they lower the volume w/o loss of certain frequencies so its all there, just a bit lower volume so no hearing damage/loss.
