We were considerably slower setting up this morning after swapping around which end of the PA we were going to set up. It was only my second time setting up the front of house, I understood most of it, but some of it is still confusing me. Andy had to re-explain the signal flow to all of us and the difference between sends and inserts which is slowly starting to sink in and make more sense.
I feel like I'm fairly confident using the desk now, at least to get the levels in. That all changed once we started to work with the band. It was a completely new experience rather than just setting up getting levels and to then pack down and I wasn't comfortable with it at all. We had to all go on stage to check the stage volume on stage was balanced, but because Andy was trying to show us all at the same time, all of us going on stage at the same time was a bit awkward and it felt like we were just getting in the way of the band. The stage in The Venue isn't massive. It wasn't like it was an actual gig, but it just didn't feel right. In the end, we agreed that we managed to get the band sounding alright and that we might have paid to watch the performance - had it been a real gig.
