and 8. If the faders cannot be placed in their
proper positions, then the input signals are too
high, or too low.
Remember that musicians and singers tend
to perform "harder" when they are in front of
an audience than in sound checks. So your
levels may have to be readjusted slightly once
the performance begins.
11. Stage monitor levels are set in the same
way as the house mix, except that the FLB
channel and MASTER controls are used in-
stead of channel and LIR faders. Set the FLB
MONITOR switch to the on, down position
so that your meters and phones will be following
the Foldback mix.
I f howling or feedback occurs, reduce FLB
levels and reposition your monitor speakers
or microphones. You may have to experiment
a
few times to determine the proper positions for
speakers and mics. Keep in mind that monitor
levels need not be
as
high
as
program levels.
Certain elements of the mix may be eliminated
entirely from the monitor. The drummer will
need to hear his bass drum in the monitor, but
the snare and cymbals can often be left out of
the monitors. Electric guitars and basses have
very high stage levels and need not be present
in the monitors, should you be close-miking
them for the main mix. In our sample mix,
the vocals and acoustic guitar will need t o be
very strong in the monitor mix.
12. Effects levels are set using the EFFect
controls in each channel and the EFFECT RTN
1 and 2 controls. You may also position the
effect signals using the. Effect PAN controls.
Many effects have gainllevel controls, so if
proper levels can'not be achieved using the
M-208 controls, adjust the levels on the effect
device. Devices using the channel INSERTion
jack should also be adjusted with their own
level controls.
