Reply To: Foh or Mons first?

Hey gilly! Well I think the “stabdard way” (if it exists) is to setup a good gain structure! So Setup Gain first to suit the needs of the specific mic (condenser not as hot as dynamic mics) the channel EQ should be used first to correct the difference caused by the used mic and then for smoothening it to the mix! For Most instruments it might be ok to use the same EQ settins for monitors as for FoH! In case of lead vocs and some
Special occasions a channel-split would be helpful!
However.. If the monitors and the main PA is as good as possible EQed (flat) then you shouldn’t face too much feedback problems!
