Like Seattle 2017 IEM + Audience. Couldn't a clean IEM be posted as well??

Originally posted by andrewinbrooklyn:I am noticing a trend lately of mixing IEM with audience & am wondering why? A clean IEM is the gold standard IMO. Why muck it up with a bunch of "whoooohoooos" all the time.

Each IEM is individually mixed for each band member to their preference. Amsterdam 2015 is very clearly mixed with low guitar and loud vocal left ear and clear equal drum/bass in right. It's not the sound of the band you hear but the sound Adam prefers to make sure he makes his parts correct.
Cardiff 2005 has a drop out in Gloria so all you can hear at one point is the DURNGDURGNDURNG of raw bass.
Each IEM is customised to the band members preferred sound they need to play in time with everyone else. Guitars will be too loud, or very quiet, or vocals will be absent, in IEM's. It's not representative of the bands sound.
A Matrix that takes the audience recording is the best solution as it allows to add atmosphere and fill out any missing or low mixed instrumentation.

Reading your first sentence makes it obvious you never heard an Adam IEM feed, sorry.
