[QUOTE="Nick Vezmar, post: 6951, member: 4110"] Hello all, My name is Nick. I'm brand new the forum, so I don't know if I'm posting in the right place, or if I'll even be wording this the right way. Figured I will give it a shot anyways. To start out, I'm in a rock cover band, I'm a keyboardist and I take care of the sound for our private gigs (weddings, backyard parties, etc). In the beginning we used the mains to cover wind instruments and vocals; unless of course we're in an event hall, where we would use the in-house crew and gear and mic everything. Now we have started mic'ing amps and drums for reinforcement and clarity for the private gigs. Most of the private gigs we get do not have more than 100-200 people at them. We have 2 guitarists, 1 bassist, a keyboardist and a drummer; and occasionally Right now we have Mackie Thump 15As for our mains.
