[QUOTE="Clarke LaPlante, post: 16547, member: 18"] Re: IEM's and dynamics I'm with Evan as far as vocal comps go. If I've got a very dynamic singer, I'll split the input and send a processed vocal to the rest of the band, but the singer gets himself without compression, unless asked for, which rarely happens. I'll generally compress bass and keyboards and sometimes guitars, as Evan said the patches can be all over the place. I've tried the passive, ''don't compress it and maybe they'll sort it out'' method, but unless you actually stand over the keyboard player with the proverbial cricket bat, it almost never works. I normally will gate kick & toms on a kit, but how much depends on the room and the tuning of the kit, and the genre of music as well. Sometimes this all goes out the window too, when you've got a really open (ringy) kit in a big room for a pop gig, but the drummer doesn't want any gates. As for ''buzzy'' sources, well... sounds like a grounding problem somewhere. You can't fix that in the desk. -C [/QUOTE]
