[QUOTE="Paul Mirtschin, post: 76779, member: 1972"] Re: Uli Behringer of The Music Group Q&A It happens everywhere. I have effectively skipped the whole "pub scene" in my city, simply because while I know a lot of people in bands, I'm not a musician myself. And in the eyes of some of the brains-trust booking, promoting and in those pub-bands, I therefore don't know how to mix. So I mix bands and events with 5-10-times their crowds, while they stick to mates and "guys in bands" who have enough trouble working out how the desk works, let alone getting good sound out of it. Which means when I have a night off and go see a band or two play as a punter, I get to hear average-at-best sound, and occasionally drop hints to the sound guy that he might want to un-mute the backing-singer's mic, and if he moves the guitarist's monitor a bit to the left, we won't have to hear that horrible feedback that has plagued the last 3-songs. But that guy will be back behind the mixer the next week. [/QUOTE]
