How much gain do you give the house board?

I think vasoundman is a just a spammer.
The bassist at my church has an active Ibanez with crazy high output so I have a pad on the channel input. If we had a DI for him that had a level control he'd be able to lower the signal to the board down to the point where the pad wouldn't be needed. But that's not really a big deal.
I've never had a signal that was so hot that I couldn't work with it, but if the signal is too weak I may have to use more gain than I like to bring it up to a workable level.
I prefer a pre-EQ send to the board but I can work with a post-EQ send. Sometimes I get a crappy send and I can't really do anything about it because it's all low end or whatever.

I been sound enginee for 15 pluse years working with professional bands like Marron 5 ect. Not really sure what he meant by roof out your line new on me ..... Naver roof out your line ... How you set gain is most mixer have a green light or red or degial read outs dont let the single red line stay in the green or yellow this sound man is wrong .. Also what will help you a lot with the single strength is turn your amps to half way and your mixer mains half way then get your single on your gain then use your faders controle to controle each channles also I see what goes wrong seomtimes is some bands keep abjusting thir mains on the mixer once thir set to half way leave them alone and use the fader controle to contole volume notsure what kinda power your pushing so can make a difference
Are you sure you don't work for moron5.
BTW I would imagine maroon 5 is using more like 100,000 watts not 10,000.
I disagree... I think. It's hard to decipher what you are trying to get across sometimes. Make that most of the time. Anyway, why would you run your power amps at half mast? I and everyone else I know in the biz run them up full.
Sorry, but there's no truth in the above. So long as nothing in the signal chain is clipping, gain is gain. Preamps down and amps up, or amps down and preamps up - so long as the gain through the system is the same, it does not matter which way you choose.
As to the "sensitivity" of the mic: The ratio of desired sound to undesired sound does not change. The attainable level before feedback does not change.
