[QUOTE="LiamSmith, post: 6545, member: 1766"] I've almost always had to mix side of stage, but, up until now it's always been on cheapo 90 degree boxes so I can sort of hear what's going on. I just recently got a slamming deal on qrx 212's and my first gig with them was mixing side of stage between the bathrooms and the bar in a crowded long rectangle of a bar. The setup was absolutely ideal. Don't you just love bar/restaurants that want to have live music but continue to seat people right where the "stage" will be? Anywho, my vantage point was about 5 feet from the side of the stage with the path the bathroom between me and the stage. To me... My mix blew and I could never get those vocals on top... But then I'd walk out front and sure enough those vocals were sitting really pretty. I found myself taking a trip out front 2 to 3 times per song (a very difficult task in a packed bar), just to be sure, and then solely mixing on headphones when at the desk. So, how DO you do it on narrower dispersion boxes?... and not pull your hair out.... while still trying to give the band and the audience the very best possible experience? [/QUOTE]
