I had a good chuckle at this one. Sounds like you've been involved in church music :). What makes things more tricky here is that it's a catholic church. Music is not supposed to be the main focal point. So, we're shoved off into a corner. Fortunately, good music is valued so I do have a decent sound system and a good equipment. But, I can't propose a stage or anything terribly obtrusive. :).
But, I do have some latitude and a relatively open-minded pastor.
Thanks
Dan

Dan, to my ear 3-6 db of gain reduction on a couple of channels vis an expander is far more effective in a live mix than trying for isolation. Too many techs take it way too far.

I would also suggest carefully listening to those channels in some headphones. What specifically in the drum monitor is bleeding? Does it have to be that loud? can you deal with it by eq? Etc.

Thanks. I'll play with this as well.
