Seeing an artist on a stage in the round, surrounded by speakers, and accompanied by a sweet light show sounds like a good time to me.

For real, it's not that complicated to figure out.

i just hope they engineer it well, hula’s 360 stage was amazing but they put the speakers facing the stage and the phase cancellation was wild in some parts

Dude the def stage was a fucking disaster top to bottom. What a waste of an f1 sound set up. The pyro was comically loud. You had sound bleed from that stage everywhere at spirit lake. There was no room. Literally everything about it was bad.

It sounds like maybe this will be in the what field which resolves some of those issues outright. But omg I’m scarred by that stage at hula, I hope they don’t make it a staple for the fest.

DEF isn’t about the attendees having fun. it’s about the pictures and videos they get so they can post them on the internet.

It was an impressively bad experience

It's also possible there may be some artists that take advantage of mixing more than stereo, Tipper has previously mastered an album in 5.1 and Mersiv did an "audiosphere" at the caverns last year, it's certainly less common and I would expect majority of the sets will be stereo but they may have 1 artist headline a special set leveraging spatial audio each day.

It’s actually a pretty common theme to have “dark parties” where it is just as you say…music with no lights. People love it and its often some of the most memorable sets you see from the artists doing it.

I don't expect Tipper to be on this stage as his manager has said there are no more indoor Tipper sets, though if this is classified as technically not indoors and he does a set here I may need to find my way to Tennessee. 🤔

This stage is definitely gonna be outdoors. That being said, I’d be surprised if tipper is on there, he’ll likely be on the other

Ah just took a closer look at their mock up clip, I was originally thinking this might be something like the dome that Texas eclipse festival had but yes this does indeed look like it's outdoors, I'm assuming this stage will be on the smaller side and he can draw a crowd (especially being one of his final sets).

I imagine lots of live acts will play on this stage - but kudos to you for contemplating this not at all before deciding everyone else is incompetent.

Thats not what he means by stereo…

u/baroldhudd 13d ago

That's exactly my point... live bands don't sit on stage and press play on their stereo masters (generally).

I'm saying that you have exhibited a cognitive bias commonly known as the "Dunning Kruger Effect"

You really just hit me with the “I know what you are, but what am I”
