I am so glad that there is a newbie forum because I am looking for some basic advice. My two sons are in a band (3 piece) and they are just starting to perform live. They currently have ha PA that they use for vocals only; they run no floor monitors and (2) JBL powered speakers. I believe that the board is a small Mackie that is hooked up to an equalizer. The bottom line is that the system serves it's purpose. Eventually they might invest in some floor monitors and/or subs, but it elevates the vocals to where they can be heard crisp and clear. I may have made a boo boo. In my haste I purchased for them an Alesis Studio 24 as a back up mixer. In the event that they are gigging the their mixer goes down, they will have to have a back up. They plugged in the board and it performed miserably. No volume; half of the Mackie. Is anyone familiar with this mixer and if so, how can be be converted to be more gig friendly. I know that it is a studio oriented mixer, but I am hoping that it can still suit them in a live environment. I think these forums are great; hope you don't mind my amateur questions.
