Re: Good guitarists getting bad advice...So many variables...I agree, in theory, but don't think it'll happen in the small bar world. At least not in my neck of the woods. Most bands just don't think it's necessary or they lack the know-how and they don't use BEs. And the small and medium size bars/venues don't employ techs. Perhaps it's a regional thing.Many of the working bands around here already do a fairly good job balancing their instruments. The biggest problem I hear is vox burried in the mix. Even then, the vox usually sounds like mud: overly bass heavy.
