Side note: on one of these nights, there was this band of young kids (I think they were under 21) who were scheduled to play last, and they "seemed" to be nervous and inexperienced. Real nice kids, very respectful, hung on my every word. To be honest, I expected the worst. OMG these kids hit the stage and they were AWESOME!!! All originals, tighter than a gnat's ass in a dust storm. They had their music and their stage act down pat. I was SHOCKED. They were, by far, the best band out of the entire string of shows. Oddly enough, I can't remember their damn name!

Hanson?

But seriously, there is a lot to be said for a band that works with the sound crew...

The sound crew was me, myself, and I ... but I can't take any credit ... these kids ROCKED.

I made a couple calls ... the band's name is "Survive This". Definately not a kiddy band, and they're not riding on anyone's coat tails. They've got their own unique style and they're balls-to-the-walls. And I'm not one to hand-out compliments easily. If they can manage to stay together and keep progressing, they have some definate potential.

I would like to extend a warm thank you to everyone who has contributed to my post.
A refresher course in physics and basic PA deployment with proper use of HP LP filters my mixes have suddenly become crystal clear.
I had a show last night that was in my opinion close to perfect.(needed more people) It was a loud rock band but I had no issues of not being TOO loud and I had no MUD on the stage or FOH.

I have been making the same bassackwards mistakes for awhile now and it is basic fundamentals that I have been overlooking.

I really can't stress enough to new guys getting into live sound how important the basics are.
