[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 125210, member: 67"] Re: Bluegrass festival Mike, thanks for a memory jog (good for 200 calories burned, IIRC) - in a previous century I was mixing my 4th or 5th acoustic/bluegrass fest and the next act on the bill was California (Dan Crary, Byron Berline, John Hickman, Steve Spurgeon, John Moore - great band). Dan came up to FOH and listened to about 10 minutes of my mixing the current act. Then he introduced himself and said "well, basically I like everything I'm hearing so this is what I want to do - we'll set monitors from your left to right across the stage, and when we do bring up each instrument to whatever you think solo level should be; EQ it, and leave the fader in position. Wave at us when you're ready to move on." We agreed, shook hands and he made his way back stage. He filled in my monitor guy on the process and we had the whole band ready in about 5 minutes. It was the best hour I never mixed. :) Dan was very generous with his time later when we/I had dozens of questions about acoustic guitar tone. Several years later he delivered a wonderful compliment to my staff: "it's great to be on a stage where the sound crew knows what guitars are supposed to sound like!" Gee, Dan, I wonder how we got that way?* Shameless plug for Dan's DVD "Primal Twang - The Legacy of the Guitar" [url]http://dancrary.com/primal-twang/[/url] * edit PS We really do stand on the backs of giants - the time shared by some incredibly nice and talented players have allowed me and my crew to do a better job for lots of other musicians.
