Re: Mixing a live set



Right, so the best way is to eq various instruments to fit in the mix
of things or are there other tricks that might work as well or better?

Seriously, I don't know this stuff very well as I've generally been a
plug in (and plug in and plug in and plug in and plug in) and go kind
of guy so dealing with these issues in advance hasn't really been part
of my experience.

Thanks,

Kevin

Till now you seriously considered yourself to be the body and to have a
