Line up pecking order will be very varied and the vast majority of the time we’ll be with our own FOH guy.
Band line up will be; Drums, bass, 2x guitars, 5x vocals and various backing tracks.
Ideally we’ll be needing the full line up in our ears along with click and tracks. The Mackie looks great but is about double the current budget I’ve got at the moment. I was thinking line splits would be slightly easier (and more cost effects) because we won’t have to take a whole mic package along to gigs with us.
With the x32, correct me if I’m wrong - you can use the TRS outs along with the aux outs so 5 stereo mixes shouldn’t be a issue right?
The XR18 can only really give 4 stereo mixes 1-6 aux (3) and the LR Main out (4) I’m not sure were the 5th would come from?
