[QUOTE="Dick Rees, post: 5257, member: 16"] Friends.... I've got a jazz fest coming up and am already going over the setup for the day in my head. Headliner is "smooth jazz" w/guitar lead, vocals, drums, bass and keys/synth with a double on saxes. I'll have five wedges on stage plus a butt-kicker for the drummer (he asked for it). For earlier in the day I'll be running quick, down-and-dirty set changes with minimal monitoring, relying mostly on a couple of 200W powered speakers cross-firing from the front corners of the 20 x 20 stage....a sort of "catch-all" setup. The question is this: With time at an absolute minimum for change-over/line-check/wedge tweaks, would you: A. Start from nothing in the sides and give them what they request OR B. Start with house mix (light on bass and drums) in the sides and subtract what they don't want. I'm leaning towards the house mix at the moment. TIA for your help. [/QUOTE]
