Last week I was playing at a club and this has been big time DJ came in and was supposed to share the booth with me, tag teaming back and forth.
The first thing on his agenda was to crank up the volume to "ear juices buzzing your balance into fucking hell". I asked him to please keep it down a notch, there weren't that many people in the club yet but he insisted that was the way to get the party started... oh dear lord.
Anyway, I had my In Ear Plugs with me and I've tried them out before but didn't feel safe with them, I wanted to hear what was going on outside, properly.
I realized my mistake this time when I plugged them in on a low level, keeping the volume high enough for me to be able to hear what playing but low enough to not be totally disconnected from the dancefloor.
That night, for the first time ever after a gig I came home without any ringing in my ears. The idiot DJ got his maniac volume, I got to keep my hearing and my question to you is...
What do you use?
I really recommend you to try this. I'm of course talking about real "ear pluggish" type of plugs, not the typical iPod ones, like these.
