Re: Mixing side of stage. How DO you deal with it?I am going to point out one obvious thing that no one has mentioned. For all of the control freak engineers (and you know who you are), when you get the sound right LEAVE IT ALONE! Contrary to what some believe you don't have to be glued to the console for the entire show making 1/2db changes every few seconds. The side of stage mix position is no where near ideal and is a complete compromise (except for running monitors) we all know that so DEAL WITH IT! Go out front and make your tweaks if you need any and then let the band do their thing and check it out front again every so often and make your way to the food and drink table while you are out there if there is one. Don't stress out, eat a cookie and be happy! All the above mentioned methods will help get a mix going in the right direction fast.
