Hi when doing live sound how do you setup the mixer?kick on slider 1 snare 2
or do you put the vocals on one then add the other stuff as you go?is there
a universal accepted norm?

I come from the old tape school where tracks 1 and 16 (or 24) were the most
likely to wind up with flutter or high frequency loss, so you put the
instruments with mostly bottom and short notes on the outside tracks. I start
with kick on 1. Al Schmitt starts with bass on 1. Hard habit to break.
