Sure? Does the color match the grey brick in bass and fullness after adjusting the knobs on the mixer?
I'm saving up for a mixer and some sort of mixing speakers, so I wouldn't have a clue really. My 3 shows had me asking others to manage the mixer, and monitors never gave me an accurate idea of how my sound or my bass was
Maybe readjusting my first expression: I want to be just as harsh live.
If mods and stuff can assure that, it would render post-production useless.
It wasn't a real venue, but a shop in Hollywood...
I always argue that yes, a properly EQ'd Game Boy Color can sound just as bass heavy and full as a grey brick. I've played just over 50 shows, probably half with a DMG and half with a GBC...I knows my shit and yes, you can get a GBC sounding just as bassy live without mods, as you can a DMG.
I can't remember ever really hearing a mod for GBC that makes the bass that much louder than just turning up an EQ knob...there is however a good mod for reducing the noise from a GBC, I just don't have a link to it off hand.
But it's all personal preference whether or not your recorded output sounds the same or not to your live stuff. Personally, I've reached a point where I want to make records that sound a bit more full and produced and have the live stuff sound more stripped back, kind of like what it's really like to see a band perform (y'know, where a guitarist does 15 overdubs but live he can only play one part). But dats just me.
However if I had a decent laptop, I'd totally run my mixer into it and have cubase process the the signal with my crazy brickwall compression / EQ settings and then output that into the PA...god how I've fucking wished for so long that I had the capabilities to do this.
