I just did Ruthie foster blues act this evening and was thinking about
how i have been laying the board out and what makes the most sense.

Tonight, i had across the front:

guitar vocal, guitar DI, headliner key vox, headliner guitar vox,
headliner keys DI, headliner guitar DI, bass vox and bass DI across the
front starting with channel 1.

I kept them grouped by individuals together. The way i have been doing
it. But i had considered doing all vox first, then instruments.

How have you guys been laying out the board in PAYING gigs?

This gig was a club series gig in a 300 seat room.
and i was warned the grand Puba of the facility was going to
be a few tables from me and that i should keep the level
down. Hell, what did they think i was doing? playing a CD?
The volume crept up as the musician on stage did.
It was NO elevator music, but i did not pierce any eardrums.
I had JBL self powered traps on poles with self powered subs.
I liked the subs, but the 12/2 powered traps sounded way vocally mushy
compared to the VRX JBL's i usually use in the room. And 125 was killing me.

Hi,
I run sound at a club and have had some weird things happening in the
P.A. I've had people talking and miscellaneous sounds fly in and out.
How is someone doing this? Is there a device they're using that can
pick up wireless signals etc..and break in??
Thanks,
George
