The way a set is recorded can make it or break it.
Sets like oakenfold @ creamfields 99, PvD@energy 2003, PvD@Amnesia 2002 all have good crowd noise which gives the sets a way better atmosphere.

Without crowd noise you may as well be listening to a radio show!

Crowd noise during breakdowns are cool.

crowdnoises are only really annoying when you can hear individual voices over all the others. like in tiesto's crasher NEC set from 2003, there's this one gimp that keeps on shouting "go tiestoooooo" right next to the microphone. that aside i love hearing it, whistles, airhorns & all (providing they aren't too close to the mic) and love that low quality compressed echoey sound the music comes out as

cosmic gate @ trance energy 2003 has some very nice crowd noise

Originally posted by RapidFire I agree. but there are times when crowd "noise" can be pure pwnage. an example of this is when Oakie turned off the sound in Silence on one of his EMs and the crowd sang along. thats crowd noise bliss right there...

Do you know which EM that is?
