I'm running sound tomorrow for my church band, which will be performing a 90-minute set for our local college students. We've had two rehearsals so far with my new SAC system, and so far things have gone pretty well - most musicians are very happy with the mix they've been able to get in their IEMs. And of course, the system sounds great in FOH. Our band leader, who has very sensitive ears though, has been complaining that it's either too loud or too soft, and he can't seem to find a good middle ground. I'm using a virtual monitor mixer to feed everyone's IEMs with a little compression on each input. I'm wondering if I should create two subgroups - one for instruments and one for vocals, and put a pretty high-ratio compresssor on those two channels to act as limiters? Is that normal practice?
Thanks for any advice you may be able to offer!
