"Wayne, what i hear you saying id that you would always be in favor of a pre EQ situation, yet you use your location and having to use crappy gear to justify your preference. If you were stateside in a real room with real gear would you still…"
"Are you talking about an automated system that will keep the system from getting above a certain level? If so, good luck with that. Two things that I can think of right off the bat that will make this tough:
