[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 129822, member: 67"] Re: New Midas M32 Console 20+ years ago I was told "forget you have a reverb unit, and don't even think about echo". I still mix traditional bluegrass straight up without EFX. Now compressors... once over, lightly, on vocals and for instruments where the player tends to be uneven. Audiences, however, are increasingly expecting sound like they hear in their personal player machine ear buds. My mixing levels have increased over 6dB in the last 4 or 5 years and have an even greater emphasis on vocals (I mix vocals on top to start with). As for what you encounter at a festival, we accommodate the BEs as best we can. If you have a console file for your act and whatever mixer we provide, we'll gladly save our setup to USB and load your show, fix the i/o routing as needed, and hand you the keys... just leave some fuel in the tank and don't break the speed limit. ;) I expect the same level of service when I'm the BE, so I'll provide that level of service, too.
