Jack Lite 12 with Piezos… EQ Tips

[Bruce Weldy]

Only vocals go through PA. Old school guys..

If only vocals are in the PA, then that's the least of your problems in that room. High pass the vocals at 150hz and EQ to taste. Your problems are going to come from all the amps.....especially the bass amp.

I'm as old as school gets, and everything goes through the PA. It's not about volume, it's about dispersion. Even the bass, although it should be high passed at 150-200Hz in most cases. Even in a large room or outdoors the bass should be high passed at 70-80Hz, so the sound through the PA is reasonably close to the backline.Totally AFU bass is the result of not doing that.

Bah! Good to know (two weeks ago!)

Bruce is your man. I have nothing to add value to the conversation. The only thing I know about mixing a performance that way is everyone keeps turning up until there is no more up. Then the bassist gets a bigger amp. Then the guitarist gets a bigger amp. Then the bassist turns up. Then the guitarist turns up. Then everyone goes def.

My best advice; sell the mixer and IEM's. Invest in ear plugs.

IEMs: I do and the keyboard player does. I don't want a backline any longer. I think I can get the drummer to switch. The guitar probably never will!

I'll be putting the bass amps up for sale next week except for 1 small one.

No sound on stage, guys and gals!

Well, that's confusing. You said only vocals in the PA.....

Maybe it's time to restate exactly what you are trying to do.
