[QUOTE="Brad Harris, post: 55713, member: 380"] I do alot of channel splitting with IEM and a bit less so with wedges usually just vocals and acoustic inst. (multipurposed mics, different guitars, rock to acoustic songs, perc, etc), last tour was 42 lines from the stage, and 55 channels on the desk (56th my talkback, TB rail was FOH), If I had more channels, I would have definately split some more, and that's before effects (usually inserted on channels). Half of this is for sounds, the other is easier/dumberproof automation (never been a song to song scene/snapshot kinda mixer for a single band, but single song multiband/acts bring it on!) As for mixes, it varies with the artists, as we all know some want very particular things, others want tailored foh mixes. Its just a matter of finding out what they want, and making the things they need intelligabe and the rest not as much and add in your flavour when fit. (I have a guitar player who doesn't think it sounds good unless his mix starts audiably clipping, limiting and distorting. My solution: use 3 busses for his iem mix, a badly heavily comp'd mix, a mix of what he needs clear, and buss those to a new bus to mix it together). Keeps him happy, and the gear operating linearily, and more importantly my cue bus sounding more like his mix path to his pack. There's a few things i'd like to try to make things better (outboard mix gear - multiband comp, decent mixbuss comps), but it's usually outside of my cue buss path, or I'm out of dsp/console/io/resources for the gig. The new CL desks have me interested as it has almost the buss and dsp capacity that I've been longing for (the Venues come up way too short on busses, but a full rig has plenty of dsp). I find it much like wedges, in that certain band members like the same kind of mixes, and the picky guys (hopefully) know how to ask and communicate for what they want. As for listening to others mixes, I usually ask if the ME has an extra pack and listen on that if we've been hitting it off the rest of the day, as we all know most of us like to show off a bit and trade little tid bits here and there Sorry I can't be more specific, as I too haven't heard the previous mixer, and your mixes.
