[QUOTE="Fred Garrett, post: 208225, member: 1332"] I have found that 90% of band's engineers are nice people who are easy to work with. The rest are either suffering from hearing damage or are trying to prove something ( the latter are usually younger). Use limiters to protect your rig, know your rig well, be polite and advise them when they are approaching the limit and when they reach it. Most of the time, folks are respectful. When they are not, I still recommend being polite, but always protect your gear. Rolls the amps down some, tighten the limiters, etc. Assuming your rig meets the specs of the rider, and is acceptable to the party paying for it, you are well within your rights. Sometimes you meet someone who isn't happy with life or has an unreasonable brand preference. I have had a band's engineer, back in the day, tell me my rig would sound better if I had a different house EQ. My EQ was a Klark Teknik DN370...... you can't please them all. [/QUOTE]
