It's never going to be easy to get right if you are mixing from on stage. You can set levels on a sound check and as soon as the adrenaline sets in the db's go up. I've never yet met a singer who doesn't up the volume once the gig starts. It also depends upon the song, there are parts when you want your singers to be the same volume and parts where the lead vocal needs to be heard over the backing. You might be doing call and return on one part of the song and want equal volumes, harmonies in another part and gentle oohs and aahs in the background later. Your singers need to practice their parts and control their own volume. We rehearse sometimes with the PA pointing back at us so we hear the front of house sound and you have to practice and listen to get the relative volumes right. You also have to get monitoring right, if you can't hear what each other are doing then you can't really match volumes appropriately. I aim to set the gain so everyone is equal on the loudest parts and let the singers sort out for themselves who should be the loudest in any given part of the song. I like to record the perfomances from time to time, You soon pick up who is hiding in the mix and who is too fond of their own voice and can make necessary adjustments, In the end though there is nothing you can do with people who don't practice singing together.

Clicked on it, never heard of Rumble, with regards to the track, lasted 22 seconds and turned it off. They will probably get a slot on the next series of Jools Holland 😀 -
Up for grabs - the pedal I thought I'd never sell, but GAS is a cruel mistress and my solo ambient bass noodling isn't something that's getting a lot of focus right now. Incredible granular delay, micro looper, ambient soundscape generator. So good that sometimes it feels like cheating at music! This is boxed, in perfect condition, never gigged, with manual and power supply. Has velcro on the underside. Postage in the UK is £5, or collection in Derby welcomed.
