Since the musicians I mix tend to extend across the stage in what can be
considered a single row, I tend to number the mics across the stage, from
left to right.
Ditto. When dealing with a vocalist/instrumentalist the vocal mic always
comes first. That's for mnemonic purposes: we had voices before we had
instruments.
We each have our own ways of getting confused, and I tend to get
confused with that layout. The only time I didn't was when we set up a
vocal, instrument mic, and instrument DI channel for each position and
just left the unused ones unused. But when you have a mix of singers
who play, players who don't sing, and players who play and sing into
the same mic (for reasons - theirs or ours) like fiddlers or flute
players. And instrumentalists who need more than one mic and may or
may not sing, and sometimes play into a vocal mic.
And then there's the well planned setup where the guitar player grabs
the instrument mic from the adjacent stage position, pulls it up to
his mouth (because you were told, perhaps by the player himself, that
he was going to sing or talk).
