[QUOTE="Eric Cagle, post: 91328, member: 277"] Re: Money Channel in a Digital World? Ok, lets be realistic. Can anybody in the audience actually hear the difference with everything else going on in a live mix and all of the ambient noise in those situations? Can you even hear a significant difference in that situation? I am not saying it won't be a tiny bit better (maybe) but in the scheme of things is it really worth it? That IS the question you asked and that is a good question. I have done some things with the money channel like that in the "old days of analog" because it was convenient to already have my vocal sound in my front of house rack. I like the sound of a high end tube pre and optical compressor on most vocals, change that to REALLY LIKE, but I seldom do that anymore except on some live recordings. If you do go that route I would run the mic straight to the pre/compressor or whatever you are going to do and then take a line out to the board. You will be bringing your own mic so the settings will never change. You can set the money channel rack by the board remote preamps in those situations since you only need to control the board line input level. If you develop a signature sound with the stuff you are using then I would say it might actually be worth it because you will have consistancy at every show.

If her mic is a wireless even better because the receiver will be in the rack as well. Obviously if you are using signature effects they will need to be at the board and not in the vocal rack unless they don't change. If they don't change then rack them with the other stuff and then take another line in on the next stage preamp so you will have control over the amount. Just my thoughts.
