[QUOTE="Rick Stansby, post: 24935, member: 312"] Re: How do you set up your system for an average show? I know this is a common practice, and works for some people, but I don't do it. I label the subsnake boxes well, and make sure to have plenty of subsnakes around the stage, so the mic cables are short. I pull up most of the mic cables between acts, to keep the stage clean. It is very common for me to do "ethnic" acts that have dancers DS, then rock bands with monitors, DIs, Keyboards and vocals downstage. I need to be able to clear everything out after a rock band, then put it all back after the african/mexican/etc. band. I label the ends of each monitor cable, so they can be coiled at the corners of the stage when not in use, and over-night. Subsnakes get labeled with instrument name and channel number, that way when someone asks which channel was used for the DI, it can be answered quickly. I use a festival patch, with 3-5 DS vocals, drum vocal, drums, bass, guitars, and utility channels. Often the utility channels are Y'd to multiple subsnakes. That way I can use 6 utility channels, and I can get 4 from the backline or 4 from downstage. [/QUOTE]
