[QUOTE="Curtis H List (Too Tall), post: 22542, member: 160"] Re: Speaking of Varsity As a IA stagehand I heard hundreds of performances of "the biggest of big" while being " the smallest of small" doing 50 seat clubs with an old COSTUM pa I started mixing sound for my cousin the same time i did my first IA load out. I was shocked to hear how bad some of the FOH mixes were for the biggest bands. Didn't anyone tell the band? It was so obvious. When I mentioned it to a friend who has been around a little longer he said it was “An open secret” in the industry. In the end I came to the conclusion that it was not all about the sound for the band and their mixer. More important that they lived with and trusted the person. I have also come to the conclusion that it is very difficult for the band to figure out if the guy mixing them is doing a good job from stage. It takes some knowledge and experience to know if the “Bad sound” you hear standing next to the FOH is the fault of the mix or is it the PA and bad placement in the room. If a musician has no technical knowledge, has done nothing but write songs, sing and play them in public I feel sorry when I see them casting about and talking to perfect strangers asking if the sound was passable.
