Re: When it's too loud.....I keep it loud enough that I can't hear the complants. But seriously, for me the stage volume determines the pa volume. If the stage volume is so loud that you can't get a listenable mix without the pa turned up too loud..... well, if the person complaining is the person paying you then you inform them that it's the band, not you that is too loud. There have been times where instead of pulling the volume down I tweaked the FOH eq a little and cut a little bit of the frequencies that can be harsh to the ears.
