[QUOTE="Jay Barracato, post: 31937, member: 24"] Re: The way real pros do it I have a carry rack of bare bones processing but on any type of extended trip, especially a van trip, space is a premium. Somewhere there is a school where promoters in low end venues learn to say things like "two way jbl system maximized for the room" to refer to a pair of eons hung on bicycle chain with a sonic maximizer as the only FOH processing. Or we have a TC M-One and D-2 for FOH (that belong to the head engineer personally who won't be bringing them in because he is not working that night because the band has their own tech.) I have indeed hauled an entire PA into a room and set up next to and under the house system that no one would actually admit worked until the owner showed up 5 minutes before doors. The most recent problem has been stands, on a recent swing out west, the band ran into three venues that could not provide 6 boom stands that actually were in good enough repair to hold the mic at the proper level. And since this is a bluegrass band, these places pass it off with the "why don't you perform around one mic." [/QUOTE]
