Wow, lots of great information.
We do our own stage mix, everyone is on in ears, FOH can get all inputs from MADI, or AVB. The gains have been verified every practice, no need to touch them. We haven't used FOH yet, using 4 High quality FRFR's has done the trick. Maybe someday.
Quick question, for my guitar, how do I know how loud I put my amp for sound check?
It depends on the venue size and whether it's indoors or outdoors. If your tone relies on high volume, you might need a plexiglass shield in front of the amp.
The goal is for your amp not to interfere with or compete against the PA system. Otherwise, the sound engineer can't make subtle adjustments during the show.
I've mic'd very loud 4x12 cabinets on stage, but we had to use shields, and most of the time that's overkill anyway.
