on a bar level...not professional how many of you...
« on: January 10, 2014, 11:47:59 AM »

Have had some fun with the band you are mixing?

Say you know them well and want to mess with them.

Ever sing into the talk back mic?

Or

Send the delay in from foh to the monitors?


What have YOU done to make a boring night more fun?

My singing to the TB mic will probably get a response from a HazMat crew... ;)

I experiment with reverb settings and other FX (sometimes just over headphones).  Or if it's so boring that I'd rather do something else, I tell the band I'm going home and mix their show over the internet. /nudge, wink.

I'll definitely have some fun at the before church band practice. :) It can be entertaining to throw some long repeating delay on the snare or kick drum.  ::) One time we were practicing and the lead singer couldn't remember the words to a song so he ended up lip reading me while I was singing along at FOH; I didn't realize what he was doing and ducked behind the mixer rack case to adjust the compressor on his vocal and all of a sudden he stopped singing...  ;D

It's also entertaining to put some delay/'verb on people when they go on stage to talk/announc stuff.

Actually, Im glad my bar days seem to be finally over, Im tired of bands constantly messing with me...

...mispatching their mics, batteries dieing mid-song in anything wireless, using ground-lift adapters, orange extention cords, using their own DUCT tape... the list goes on... lol

At a large outdoor event, not in a bar.
