[QUOTE="Jay Barracato, post: 714, member: 24"] Now that I am getting comfortable with what SMAART can do, I am starting to think of some other ways to use it during the show. One of my weakest points (I think) is doing monitors from FOH. I think this is a combined result of artists who can't effectively explain what they are hearing, and the fact that I can't really hear what they are hearing at FOH. I have used a number of techniques including a lot of walking back and forth during soundcheck to listen over their shoulder (that doesn't help once the show starts), listening with headphones or an IEM pack, or just trying to interpret what the artist is saying and making changes until they indicate they are happy. I may be reinventing the wheel but it occured to me that with one channel for SMAART on my monitor bus, I could send the signal to the spectrograph. That would give me an additional reference point in addition to my headphones, and I could at least smooth off any particularly hot frequencies before they got to the feedback level. Any thoughts, or did I just reproduce common practice on my own? [/QUOTE]
