[QUOTE="ShadowSD:391308"]Sound sucks at local shows more often than not, either because the person on the sound board isn't a musician, they don't understand the equipment they're using, or they just don't give a shit. It's unfortunate, because sound at local shows is very important; the best band can sound like shit with poor sound. Only micing the vocals just doesn't cut it for metal, no matter how small the room is. Stage monitors aren't necessary if there are mains behind the band, but if the main PA speakers are all in front of the band (which is the case 99% of the time), monitors are very important, particularly in metal. Full drum mics are usually only necessary for metal bands in huge rooms; in medium and small rooms they can do more harm than good unless you really mix them in sparingly. (Although to some degree this depends on how loud the drummer plays, and how loud their kit is -but I'd say at least 70-80% of metal drummers don't need more than their kick drum miced unless they're playing a huge room.) However, a kick drum mic and guitar mics are [b]always[/b] necessary for a metal band to sound professional in any room, and so are subwoofers. When my band shows up to a gig and that stuff isn't there, it's always a big disappointment. [/QUOTE]
