Congrats, though. It sounds like it was pretty fun!
How was the sound/monitoring? |
The sound was good, surprisingly so, actually. The monitoring, well, not so much, but that was mainly due to lack of time. They had wireless packs available, and sidefills that put most club PAs to shame, but we had less than 15 minutes to set up.
The thing is, on the edge of the stage, we caught enough of the PA to hear ourselves. That, and the stage was large enough that the amps (SVT VR rig in the backline!) were cranked. We heard each other fine, just not necessarily balanced. I suppose that's all that's necessary, though.
The guy who owned the audio production company was from Bogota, Columbia, and was as big a mic snob as I am at times; he took the same care with his PA. The only flaws I heard were due to lack of familiarity with the songs and bands, not because of incompetence. They compensated for the arena nicely, way better than I would have thought possible with the equipment they had. Just goes to show that without knowledge and experience, the best gear in the world is useless, I guess.
