[QUOTE="Nick Simon, post: 73578, member: 3047"] NOOB! This gonna be long, so bear with me, it's gonna get good... I promise First off, if this is Junior Varsity, then I'm more on the Pop Warner or little league level. I'll dare not set foot in the Varsity / Pro audio forum for fear of instant death...lol I'm a "Volunteer sound guy" at my church. For the last 40 years or so, I've tinkered around with bands and mixed some (as well as lights) and have done two different HoW runs. I've even hung out in a studio or two.
