[QUOTE="Dick Rees, post: 59553, member: 16"] Re: pre-setting side-wash content.... Speaking as a performer, I find side-washes to be more "natural" sounding than a bunch of wedges. Of course, it depends on the stage environs. In this case there's a Clearspan roof over the stage and the wedges will tend to bounce around more than the cross-firing side monitors. I should have said "minus bass and drums" instead of bass and drums at a lower level. The keys/synth I feel will spread nicely out of the sides (or I could give him a keyboard amp, but the two keyboards are set up on different sides of the stage instead of together.....one player, two positions) and I'd give the lead instruments (guitar, sax) equal priority to the vocal, maybe a tad less. And this is "smooth jazz" rather than the more traditional. Think half-way to R & B with some funk in the mixture. Nicely arranged, but a bit different than the "natural" sound of a standard jazz combo. Thanks all for the replies. Very much appreciated. DR [/QUOTE]
