01From you

  • →2 DI boxes at my table, one for L, one for R. No FOH desk or DIs for me? Tell me in advance.
  • →FOH channels flat. Gain to taste, nothing else.
  • →One power socket at the table, or none if I run on battery.
  • →Monitors: none needed. If there are wedges, keep them quiet and never pointing into my vocal mic from behind. Side is ok, front is best.
  • →Filming: I usually film my shows. Permission for one small camera tripod close to the stage.
  • →No DJ booth walls, please: an open, visible setup where the audience can watch the live process.
