Hi all. I am a singer/guitarist that is looking to get back into playing live venues (hotel lounges, bars, and cafes primarily). I want to learn more about creating the best output with the gear I have, maintaining quality and volume without any distortion or feedback. My main question is regarding volume levels---which control should be highest--individual channels or master volume on mixer, or the volume on the PA?
My gear is as follows:
--Ibanez Artcore Hollowbody electric guitar
--Cordoba Classical acoustic/elec guitar
--BOSE compact L1 P.A. system (also using as monitor)
--Mackie ProFX8 Mixer (which is also plugged into certain venues speakers).
I am clueless about what volume settings would give the most sound without distortion.
