Your engineer will hate you if
you:- 1. Point your mic at the monitor. You can wave bye-bye to the monitor mix if you keep doing it. "Three strikes and you are out!" 2. Abuse him/her and the equipment. Look after them and they will look after you. An upset engineer can do terrible things to your sound. "Sorry I turned your mic off...honest." 3. Try and do his job from stage. As a performer you should concentrate on what goes into the mic. The engineer will worry about what comes out of the speakers. It is very hard to stand behind the Front of House, right in front of a drum kit and have a valid opinion on whether the vocal is loud enough out front. 4. Can't explain what's wrong but still moan. Us engineers can deal with terms such as "woolly", "boxy", "tinny" "it needs more oomph" and the like; however "there's something not right, I don't know what" is kind of hard to find a solution to. 5. Complain about monitor level when you are stood 2 feet off the mic. Get to the mic - it's how it's designed to be used. Pete
