[QUOTE="Jamin Lynch, post: 33965, member: 95"] Re: "I need my acoustic in the subs" As audio prefessionals, we also have to consider what is appropriate for the venue/setting. I have worked at this church enough to know what the music Pastor wants and he knows I'm not just a fader monkey who will just set back and let bad things happen no matter what the "artist" wants. I probably shouldn't call him a moron....just in-experienced. I guess that's why they often ask me to run FOH. The Thursday night music format is medium volume acoustic contemporary P&W. So I think any of us would have the same reaction as I did when a kid, knowing the music format, comes walking in with an acoustic and a 2 man pedal board. It's kinda like somebody bringing in a double Marshall stack for a small bluegrass band. I'll bet you would go "oh crap" Picture this.....he wanted the 2 double 18 subs under the stage powered by ITechs turned up enough so he could "feel" the floor vibrate while playing an acoustic guitar. You don't have to be there to know what it must have sounded like. If his show required beat box acoustic that needed to sound like a kick drum, that's what I would have set it up for. But it didn't. There has to be a point in which the FOH person has to draw the line and say no. I can't sit back and just give an artist everything they ask for knowing it sounds bad.
