Again, could be the speakers... will def take a listen on a different system.

I don't think it's your speakers. In fact, better speakers may compound the problem. I think it has everything to do with placement. I asked myself, is the crowd coming from in front of or in back of the music source? That will make a difference as to how prominent it is in the mix, but it's better in some songs than in others.

But I suppose it's like bootleg recordings, it depends on where the recorder is stationed as to how annoying the background noise is going to be -- and of course on whether noise is coming from people in the recorder's general vicinity or not.

At any rate, it's your opinion and there's no right or wrong when it comes to that.

I know what you mean about other people kvetching. My friends used to have no patience with my snowy videos. I didn't care how bad the image was, I would still look at a video and they were not interested in straining to see a picture. These days I don't look myself because it's mostly on VHS and although I have 3 VHS recorders in my closet, I don't have them hooked up. Plus, tv screens are so huge now that videos that were bad in the first place are horrible now. So, I don't bother with them much.
