Re: Help with my live rig



My $.02...

You're the only one who's going to know what it's supposed to sound like.

Get yourself a dependable monitoring system and mix yourself - send the 
FOH guy a stereo mix.  I will often ask the FOH guy to strap a 
compressor/limiter across the stereo mix to make sure the level is 
consistent.  Ask him to EQ the final mix if he likes.

If you've got too many sound sources and can't handle the faders then 
the suggestion for a mixing panel with presets is probably the way to 
go.  I'd also suggest that you don't have to use *all* your components 
*all* the time.  Limit your manipulations so that the mechanical aspects 
of manipulating your devices don't interfere with your making music.  
Sometimes arbitrarily limiting your choices for a particular piece can 
be a liberating and effective option, too.
