Occasionally you can hear the subway trains rumbling by undernearth the venue (it basically sits ontop of the Astor Place subway stop).  During the few most distracting moments I could track down, I EQ'd out the bass below 500hz to minimize the problem, since there is hardly anything in those frequencies in any of this music anyway (since there are no drums or bass guitar).
