x-no-archive:

I was asked to mix a gig of two rock bands in another country (five
day trip in all for me), in a place where it seems as of now
impossible to gather any info on what kind of sound reinforcement gear
there will be available.

my suggestions

an IPOD with some of your favorite music and an adapter cable to (2)
1/4" plugs so you can play some music through the system that you are
familiar with and get everything set up...

if you want to be fancy, you can pre-record some pink noise on it and
bring a laptop with a real time analyzer program and a mic that you
can connect to it... and correct power adpters etc..

the RTA is helpful to identify the feedback frequency if you want to
ring out the system assumming you have an graphic or parametric EQ to
do something about it... or use it with the pink noise

hearing and "other" protection

find out what the board is and download and print a copy of the manual
for it if you like but not really needed

WHITE GAFF tape to mark the faders

have fun
