Hello all,
I hope this message finds you well.
I'm a 33yr old guitarist/vocalist/sound guy for a relatively new rock band. We've only played at parties in the past, but we just booked a real gig for Feb 29th! Needless to say, we are all quite nervous.
We're lacking a little in the PA gear arena.
I play a Highway One Strat through an OCD and a Blues Deluxe mic'd with an sm57. Our PA consists of a Peavey XR600F Powered Mixer that we use as an amp for monitors and mains. Into that, I run a Mackie 1402 VLZPRO mixer. Everything goes through the Mackie including horns, bass drum, and bass guitar because we like to tape our practices. (we just use the RCA outs to a standard cassette deck) The drum mics are mixed through and old Peavey mixer before being sent to the Mackie. We also have a Nady 400W amp for our 15" EV Force Sub.
We have no reverb or compression at all. I'm just now educating myself on compression, and I'm not sure where it should be applied. (Final mix to FOH, or as inserts on the vocal channels)
Great Forum Everyone! Cheers!
