[QUOTE="RYAN LOUDMUSIC JENKINS, post: 24823, member: 70"] Re: How do you set up your system for an average show? I have three systems that are all set up the same, this way we know where everything goes no matter what. Stage snakes go down stage in the middle, in front of drummer and opposite side of stage from monitor world. We provide two stringers, one upstage for backline and one down stage for pedal boards. Drum mics are all labed and patched, ready to go. We clamp them to the closest overhead stand to the drum they go on. It takes about 15 seconds to mic drums. I always have sr and sl guitar amp mics on stage ready to go. Always have a bass DI ready to go. When a band gets on stage, we are ready to go within a couple minutes. We also set up our monitors the same everytime unless we have a rider showing something different. Three mixes down stage plus a drummers wedge. On bigger shows, drummer gets a sub and we have side fills too. We use an NL8 cable into a handle little breakout box to send monitor mixes to the front of stage which keeps it clean and fast. We always have three vocal mics up front ready to go and we remove what we don't need when the band gets there. Because of the nature of our events, we often have no idea what we will end up with. We have gotten really efficient at our work and everytime we find an easier or quicker way to do something, I will implement it for the next events. [/QUOTE]
