[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 68382, member: 46"] Re: Mixing priorities. What you did seems reasonable. First thing I always do is play some reference material through the rig (both house and mons). If it's not within the ballpark of being workable, I immediately flatten and start over. I have made a habit of always checking master and bus eq's and FX on digital consoles, many times I find less than desirable things there (a recent one had an LPF at 8K and heavy compression (like 10db at reasonable levels) across the L/R bus.) Try to make it your habit to do these things before you start checking lines. And BTW, given that the house guy was so late, it is perfectly excusable to push hard for the doors to be delayed. Sometimes it just isn't possible, but having to compromise your act's performance because the dude showed up late is certainly something worth complaining to the promoter about. Sometimes you've just gotta run and gun though.... Make sure to make a note about this venue for future reference. [/QUOTE]
