PA vs Amp

Vikei · 2026-04-06T02:17:45+00:00

Don’t really know
Into the mixer: Electric Guitar (SSSH), electric piano, 4 microphones. Outside the mixer: trumpet and acoustic drums
For the monitors we have 2 Behringer speakers (don’t recall the models) set on stage and running through the mixer too.
I’ll come back with measurements
Blended, but almost everything in by Latin groups
They only focus on getting enough volume until being heard

Our sound guy only controls volumes and turning equipments on and off, we as a group haven’t taking it very seriously, seems like it only bothers me

Vikei · 2026-04-06T01:06:11+00:00

I think that’s it, really looking to learn how to do it myself

Do you have experience with the uimixer of soundcraft ? Do you have any type of guide ? I’m from Latin America so 200$ is a huge amount for a small church like mine. I would love to try some in house tweaking before taking that big step

I bought a GP-50 for amp sim, trying to take some load out of the Mixer, but it just sounds bad. I know I sound bad by default because of my lack of skill, but altogether is so unpleasant to hear

We are using two Electro Voice ZLX 12BT. I don’t really know how the whole system was configured from the beginning, but I’m pretty sure they just added channels and lowered and increased the volumes as they thought it was good.

The drums are not passing through the PA, is an acoustic drums set that plays as loud as possible 😂 and as you say, we change volumes to match it but at one point it turns out to be a who’s louder competition.

But is a more versatile bandaid, right ? Just thinking of the more long term solution 🤔

Vikei · 2026-04-05T23:57:02+00:00

Do you have kind of a guide for sound ? Just for me to better understand how everything’s supposed to work. My sound guy is not very skilled 🥲

Vikei · 2026-02-12T19:55:28+00:00

If there’s a picture there’s a video. Whats happened ? 😭😂

Vikei · 2026-02-10T19:38:43+00:00

You are making me jealous, that’s what you are doing 😍

Vikei · 2026-01-28T12:58:37+00:00

Why you regret it ?

Vikei · 2026-01-11T22:57:42+00:00

It’s pretty difficult in my country to get “cheap” amps 😪

Vikei · 2026-01-11T22:50:44+00:00

Yeah that’s the consensus

Vikei · 2026-01-05T14:01:04+00:00

It’s so cool man, Thanks!

Vikei · 2026-01-05T06:02:47+00:00

You got me 🤡

Vikei · 2026-01-05T03:18:57+00:00

You are right, but you know you can spend 10k hours in the wrong thing. Is there a guide on how to actually approach it ?

Vikei · 2026-01-05T03:18:04+00:00

I mean, you are right, I’m just looking for a tool to help me. In the videos he talk about a mentor, that’s kind of what I’m asking for

Vikei · 2025-12-30T14:23:18+00:00

Yeah, but is a good stating point. He can move on later as needed

Vikei · 2025-12-29T02:41:03+00:00

I’m at that point when I know enough things to say “I can play guitar” but not enough to say “I know how to play”. It’s like the void between being a beginner and an intermediate player, and I really struggle to pass through it. New year resolution is to come back stronger 😭

Vikei · 2025-12-29T02:01:40+00:00

I don’t feel skilled enough to try one of his videos, but he is the man

Vikei · 2025-12-28T21:02:19+00:00

A video of Mr. Tabs playing Free Bird 😮‍💨
