most of us know this situation as well… the same on all regions of the world 😉
to the layer question…
I mostly use the standard layout for the start, and during or right after soundcheck I prepare my main show layers
one with all important instruments and the FX returns I need in reach
and another one with the medium important rest… and normally I don’t change the standard layout of the first 4 layers
that given I just noticed that I never had a gig with the DCA spill on SQ…
this could change a lot…
on the dLive I assign all important channels to a DCA that is only for these channels
and I lock the level to 0dB so it works like a spill group
