   Hopefully she's coming along - detoxifying as it were ;)

   I'm not sure that would apply to her old bands' over-loudness, because being   
   too loud was probably someone else's idea rather than hers and she's only   
   used to having learned to go along with it - just as hopefully, she's   
   learning to unlearn that and adapt to lower sound levels and higher quality   
   gig levels.

   That's to be expected. But so long as she ultimately does let go of it in   
   favor of something better.

   What's really to know? Noisy, deafening dangerous sound levels at crap gigs,   
   or safer more pleasant levels at better gigs.

   What kind of sound levels do those have?

   I think she's capable of adjusting over time so time is quite probably the   
   most critical factor.
