Re: [Harp-L] 'A' harp cutting through, telling guitarists to turn down

[Howard Chandler <chandler@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sometimes it's the guitarist/bass player/drummer who's the problem.  
Sometimes its the room that's the problem.  In a highly reverberant 
room, the noise floor is quite high if there are beer coolors and air 
conditioners running.  The levels  needed to get above this din can 
leave little headroom. 

Either way, a good solution is to buy a good in-ear momitor system and 
get rid of the wedges. Crank the guitar mix to the guitarist, and the 
harp mix to the harpist.  It may not make it any quieter for the patrons 
but at least the band can hear themselves and not go deaf.  If that 
doesn't work, it's a human engineering problem, call Dr. Phil.
