[QUOTE="brian maddox, post: 41849, member: 158"] Re: Digital mixer - pros and cons? this also made me think of a far simpler solution that i've seen done by a lot of the 'doo-wop' groups i've worked with. of course, they'll probably never go for it, but there you go... they would just have a designated 'lead mic' that was hotter than the rest in the house and monitors. when someone sang lead, they used that mic. when they didn't, they used one of the backing mics. i remember the first group i came across that did that [national name although it escapes me which one... one of the old motown groups...]. i was all freaking out because they said they traded off leads and i didn't know who was gonna sing what. but they told me to set it up just like i said, and sure enough it worked like a charm. i pretty much just sat there and listened to the show... nicest part was that if i did need to tweak the lead vocal, it was always the same channel. super handy... like i said, they'll probably never go for this. but it is the best, and easiest, solution.... p.s. i just picked up on this... EIGHT monitor mixes from FOH? seriously? ummm... it's time to talk about a personal monitor system of some kind. in my experience, 4 mixes from FOH was my absolute cutoff, and even that was really difficult to keep track of. 8 is just nutty...
