It’s show day! You’ve rehearsed your set until there’s no more room for improvement, changed your strings, sent all the Facebook invites weeks ago (right?), and you’re ready to bring down a packed house tonight.
But before you melt any faces, you have to arrive early to the venue and soundcheck.
You’re a band full of pros, so everything goes basically as planned. You introduce yourself to the sound engineer and establish a good rapport, nobody noodles onstage when it wasn’t their turn to check their sound, and you flew through the line check. Then you play through a couple numbers, check everyone’s monitors, and all in all, it’s pretty darn good.
But come showtime, you plug in to play the downbeat, and things are sounding a little wonky. You can’t quite hear yourself as well as you could before, so you’re inclined to turn yourself up. It seems like the drum mix is different from soundcheck.
Did the opener mess up your channels on the board? Maybe the bass is less present than you remember. You don’t know what it is, but everything is wrong!
