Over the past few months my bosses have been slowly moving me over to live audio instead of stage lighting which I couldn't be happier about. The only thing is that about 85% of the time i've just stuck to being one of the grunts on the jobs, because some ass hat was hired that had no clue what he was setting up. So while im at the console and trying to learn some things from my boss I always catch a glimpse of someone running something wrong or just doing something that makes no sense so I run right to them and get that all sorted. And by that time, the show has started.
On saturday i'll be mixing monitors for what i'm gonna say is my first time. (i've done it a few times but normally someone has already soundchecked and had to leave so i just hop on the mixer and finish the job). Most likely i'll be using one of the allen and heath consoles that we have. Not sure which model so i cant help on that one. But enough rambling.
Treat me like a noob, what do I do to get the best possible sound so I dont fuck up my boss on the FOH console, or fuck anything else up for that matter.
