The price your band gets paid for a full night of music is WHAT I CHARGE FOR
4 HOUR OF MIXING TIME, yet alone setup, soundcheck and loadout.

And lastly, you might be a pro muscician, but that does not mean you are
capable of handling PA.

I agree. I'm busting my ass to learn it. I'm improving each time.

In fact the given you are fiddling with it yourself
means you are not as much a pro as you think you are IMO.

I disagree. No we're not perfect and we have a lot of work to do
getting to know our pa as well as our own individual instruments but
we played that gig Friday night for $500.00 for the band, performed
well enough that the agent was impressed and booked us for other gigs
(regardless of sound issues), we had the dance floor and the room we
were in full the entire night...
All this with 2 out of 4 sets having no stage monitors to speak of.
Then we turned around and played another club the next night using
partially our pa and partially their pa with their soundman and tore
that damn place down!!!
We're tight as hell, play well together, are always on time and sober,
play music people want to dance to, we have fun and so does our
audience; and we get paid.
Sounds pretty professional to me; unless I'm missing something.
Just sticking up for myself.
Thanks again for your help.
Shawn
