They’re having a lot of sound problems for this particular show. Lighting guys double up and do sound around here anyway. I haven’t watched last night yet. I did hear a little Sam this a.m. was okay. Nobody’s standing out at this point... Headset issue maybe.
I played for several years in a mega-church. 5,000 people every sunday.... in ear monitors... contemporary music... lights etc. Played guitars, drums, base. (No singing... I’m not good) I know our in ears mix was bad more than it was good. But I’m particular. I like for the monitor mix to sound like a good mix, but with my instrument a tad bit louder than the others (hot in the mix). We’d set our own personal Aviom controllers so it would be like each of us wanted. But inevitable, the sound guys would pump so much of something or another into it from song to song... that we were all scrambling. Good sound guys are worth their weight in gold. But most of the time, unless you’re in the big time... you gotta learn to play with it bad in your ears. That’s just being seasoned.
