[QUOTE="Jordan Wolf, post: 27108, member: 316"] Re: My festival strategies I'll assume we're talking about wedges. First, for each act, I mentally block off each setup into what I would call "hearing zones". I try to think what the performer in that zone hears of their own instrument in comparison to the other instruments around them. After setting my gains (conservatively, of course) I make my mixes an even balance of each instrument/vocal, with a little more of the lead(s) in each mix. I always try to talk to the group while they wait in the wings (if possible). I use "thumb up" for "more me", "thumb down" for "less me", and if they want more/less of someone else, they motion or down for that person's mix number (1, 2, 3, etc.). Even if they forget, I can usually figure it out by how they motion to me. The only person I set certain things in stone with is the drummer since they can't usually signal to me. Hope that helps.
