      @ThisIsDeLaCruz if you take the time to do all this, then you should try to improve. Asking a question and then answering yourself makes it ackward, you literally cut off the drum tech a few times. Telling me that I should go do it if I think I can do it better is immature and stupid.

    I've mixed back in the 80's in studio. It doesn't come down to knowledge, rather than feeling you have with the music as the '5th musician'. And nowadays, if the system tech did a bad job, the FOH engineer is lost...
