Good monitor mixing, especially when the band gives up and stops asking for what they need.

[QUOTE="Mats Fagerkull, post: 216594, member: 10007"] As James McMullen writes, Riley and Tim pretty much summiraze it all in their answer. I once hade a nightmare gig with a n " artist" sex/ gender disclosed ... this was a Bob type of event with mostly local highschool participants. Only they had drafted a up- and- coming star from the capital, expected to be a contender in Idol on national tv. I had set up the stage with a nice set of monitors, d&b Max for gtr& Bass, two M2 for solosinger and dito for backgrd. I Was finished when the " artist" arrived... I present myself and ask if said person want to soundcheck, shure is the answer so I trott back to the board. I have just reached the board when I feel a tap on my shoulder turns around and hear " what kind of crap is this why does it not say JBL on the monitors"??
