"Last band I played bass/mixed from stage I put a yamaha 12"/1" cabinet by the mixer. We had 2 sets of the yam 15"/1" with subs out front. The smaller (12") box sounded pretty much like the double 15"/subs where I mixed…"

"Toby Keith's in Phoenix is around a corner, you can't see the stage. You do the best you can. This might be a good argument for the Presonus console and the ipad. Leave the console at the stage and mix from the ipad."

"I get stuck with this all the time. Fortunately, last year I bought a SAC system and I can mix FOH from a laptop wirelessly. Granted, that's probably not an option with your "cheap-but-effective PA" but new digital systems that…"

"Hi David,   Thanks for sharing all that info on gain structure, subs, and phase. I was curious about one thing, though...I noticed on those soundgarden gig pictures that you were micing the guitar cabs "unconventionally," with both…"

"search "tablet pc"on ebay"

"Damon,   I love the idea of this but $9k is a bit out of my league. However, please tell me what equipment you use for this. By tablet, do you mean an ipad or a special wireless controller from maker of digital mix desk? Please let me know. I…"

"Timothy - what are your requirements? No offense, but saying "I need a FOH system" without giving the specifics on venue size, band needs, etc. is like saying "I need clothes." Is this for an install or travelling rig? As for the…"

"I like George's workaround for this problem, now if I just had the time... I have a similar situation but a different question. Since I work for a college, I have the opportunity to recommend physical changes to the performance space but will…"

"just list their website?"

"Here is THE answer, COMPUTER INTEGRATED AUDIO. I am mixing a 64 channel show from my tablet. I can be anywhere in any venue and have complete control of FOH, MON and recording and lights and video projection. With the ease and flexibility of their…"

"Having mixed in about and on about every conceivable system I would say the yamaha studio manager would be my first choice of a mixing platform above any analog or digital work surface its speed, accuracy, flexibility and depth of system parameters…"

"I like the tablet idea. I know a lot of guys (including myself) don't like mixing like that, but it can at least save you a lot of running around. Even if you use for nothing more than to just build the mix from "in the pocket" to get…"

"I often have to do it from side-stage too. Usually once I'm happy with the over-all sound out front, I do the rest on a good set of cans. Remember as a sound-person, you are your own worst critic, so as long as the mix is good to you in the…"

"i think the fountain trumps my oyster bar (which had fresh running water but no elevation)"

"here in Japan, I often have the same issue. I've had really great success mixing on my computer via wifi. It takes me some getting used to and controlling one fader at a time is a bit of a drag. I've gone to setting up scenes of just the…"
