[QUOTE="Jay Barracato, post: 125183, member: 24"] Re: Bluegrass festival Three things that immediately jump to mind are: Set up a separate MC mic on a stand at one side of the stage. If you don't it is guaranteed that the mc will talk and talk and talk when you need to be moving that mic for the next act. Route your channels so you have an instrument group and vocal group. Dropping the instrument mics 20 db between songs goes a long way to clearing up the spoken portion of the show. Set your system eq for the foh and wedges according to what the individual mics need. Then have a separate channel for the LDC and insert an extra eq on just that channel. That way you are not scrambling to change between the LDC and individual mics. If you can manage it extra speakers as sidefills work better with the one mic technique and also help clean up the wedges which typically overlap too much on most festival stages for my taste. You didn't say if this was regional acts or national acts but that will also determine the level of expectations. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD [/QUOTE]
