[QUOTE="brian maddox, post: 55600, member: 158"] Re: Clarity not Volume +3 i remember many a festival date where i just couldn't get a mix together on a band to save my life and i'm really starting to think i don't know what i'm doing. then the next band steps up and suddenly i'm Scovill... like gravity, GIGO isn't just a suggestion, it's the LAW! from a more practical standpoint though... if you have no control over what's happening on stage [and most of us don't] the next step is to start taking stuff away. one of the very common mistakes made is to make each instrument sound good by itself during soundcheck. then when they all start playing at once it's nothing but mudville. i try to make sonic 'lanes' for things to sit in. this often means hacking up some of the instruments sonically to make them fit. but the sum ends up sounding much better than the parts. also, when working with lesser polished bands, compression is you friend. and often it has to be applied VERY liberally.... still, it's often very difficult to apply a shiny finish to that which has been properly digested and excreted...
