You must have missed the 1st two cues for the second service, they were late due to distractions.<BR/>DWHooverDWHooverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17612924872347170948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24201073.post-56261053718569148562008-06-13T12:38:00.000-04:002008-06-13T12:38:00.000-04:00David, I thank you for your encouragement.

He was hitting the drums hard, and Ben N even asked me if we even needed the overhead mics on, because Jared was hitting the crashes so often and hard. During the rehearsal I asked Jared to back off some on the intensity, but it didn't seem to have much effect.<BR/><BR/>At least the band's arrangements dropped the intensity down rather frequently, so we weren't at the high SPLs for more than a couple minutes at a time.Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17680006248653565284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24201073.post-55947925093250085132008-06-10T13:48:00.000-04:002008-06-10T13:48:00.000-04:00Dave, peak SPL at FOH was 97. We might have hit 98 momentarily.<BR/><BR/>For the second meeting, Ben was playing a different acoustic guitar, and that switch resolved the problem.<BR/><BR/>I kept forgetting that (I think it was) Adam was running up to the stage during the first song, so I think I missed his first word in the second meeting as I rushed to unmute the podium mic. In all the noise, I'm not sure how many people even would have noticed.<BR/><BR/>I wish we had a good way to visually indicate the critical channels on the board: podium and primary lav, especially. It takes a couple of seconds of scanning to pick them out, and sometimes when I'm in a rush I accidentally grab the backup podium or backup lav channel by mistake. Although if we switch to a digital console someday, we wouldn't be able to do anything about it any more because all faders are soft due to bank switching.Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17680006248653565284noreply@blogger.com
