I know there are some guys on this forum that have worked on really large tours and have some great experience, and probably a lot of bad experiences as well, that would help me with knowledge of some industry standards.
Is there an industry standard on how channels are put together on a board. Vocals on channels 1 - x, then Keys, then bass, then guitars etc...
Effects - Aux 1 is vocal reverb etc....
Also, building a mix (outdoors). It seems it takes our local "pro sound" company a long time to dial in a mix. QueensRyche was five songs in before I could even hear the vocals and I was back by the sound booth so I know I was hearing what they were. By the last song it sounded great, but it took an hour before they sounded like it should.
I guess I'm just a little confused as I tend to get it close then dial it in. Not, lets get the bass guitar sounding perfect, then the drums... etc. I don't know if that is whats happening, but it would explain the slow movement through the sound.
If someone could shed a little light on this so I am better able to understand...
Thanks,
Jamie
