I am a DJ and I have played various music inside the barn. There was no issue with the acoustics. It's an large open barn and not a recording studio. Quality audio equipment with sound processing and reverb could improve sound. The barn in my opinion doesn't need anything to assist with improving sound.
Been to several events in the barn. None with a full band. Usually just one or two people performing. Sat in different areas, didn't make much difference as far as being able to understand the words of the songs. Maybe a house sound system, instead of just a speaker or two on stage would help.
We are looking for solutions as we speak. What music events have you been to? We have had many musicians and sound guys to compliment us on the acoustics in the Barn. A lot of it has to do with the volume of the band.
