[QUOTE="Douglas R. Allen, post: 3839, member: 71"] Greetings; I have been called to mix a 2 day show this summer. The sound company is bringing in a yamaha im8-32 desk. [url=http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/global/en/products/mixers/im8/]IM8 | Mixers | Products | Yamaha[/url] Looks to be ok for the bands I know are coming in. It will have 2 quad gates and 2 effects processors with it. (All bands have 5 to 6 piece kits so 8 channels of gates will be enough. ) My question is about the single compressor knob available per channel. Is it useable for basic compression or is it better to bring in some toys of my own? Again for the local bands coming in and for the most part the headliners are not too big of a demand as far as requirements. I'm mixing them all and was just wondering about the compressor. Anyone have some "Hands on" with the board? I'm not going for a replacement desk or bringing in my own. This is just a walk in and mix type show so I will get by with whatever I find.
