Real-world example: Getting a basic monitor mix for different band members

“

What we're going to do now is we're doing basic mixing. What we have is a four piece band. We have a stage right guitar player who's also a singer. We have a center guitar player who's a singer, a stage left bass player, who's also a singer, and a drummer, who unfortunately is also a singer. So, there're not a whole of lot inputs but they play, they, especially their vocal harmonies are very dynamic. So what we're going to do is start off by building a mix for a bass player. Anytime you're mixing for guys that play different instruments, you don't just send one blend. That, that, that's not fun for them. Most guys want to have a blend, a little bit of everything with their instrument on the very top. So we're going to start with a bass player mix and here's the way we start. You almost always start with the basics: kick, snare drum. So we're going to bring a kick drum up. We have two microphones on the kick drum; we want to see which one works better for us. That one not great right…
