A show at Brooklyn Steel is selling GA tickets and "Preferred Terrace" tickets.
Preferred Terrace is the slightly elevated, fenced off area on house right (facing the stage). Lower level of venue, not the balcony level.
Is Preferred Terrace a better view than GA? How full does the venue fill that section - how many people deep does that section get?

I’m curious how people approach this, since most recordings are already heavily mixed, processed and EQ’d. When comparing different EQ settings or target curves, what are you actually trying to optimize for - accuracy (to what reference?), what sounds pleasing to you, or something else?
Are there particular tracks you rely on because they help you fine-tune an EQ setting or set your target curve?
This is less about “what is the best target curve,” and more about how people evaluate changes when dialing one in.
Looking for native MONO recordings to test a stereo system. Not looking to "hit the mono button" to sum a stereo track to mono - that is not possible to do on some systems.
I use a some mono tracks to check center imaging across the frequency spectrum. Also, I like to hear how much depth and dimension a system and room creates from a mono track.
However, many native mono recordings skew older, and do not have the frequency extension and fidelity of modern-sounding test tracks. Interested in hearing what mono test tracks other people use.
