As someone who has both played and done sound, the sound man's job
is really to maintain a balance between instruments and vocals, and
even with an instrumental band, highlight solos and hook lines that
people need to hear to recognize a song. When vocal harmonies are
involved, it's an even harder job to get an acceptable blend, as all
singers do not project with the same volume. Ideally, all
instruments should be miked, and try to be balanced on stage so the
players can hear each other and key on what others are playing, and
the sound thru the mains that the audience hears should really be
the job of the person at the sound board....IMHO --- In, DP <noetical1@y...> wrote:
