Please note: this question is about live performance when rehearsing with a band; not recording.
So let's say I have a PA system I've gotten used to and the I like that I use to practice singing. Let's say in the not so distant future I start rehearsing with a band, and let's say that my PA system unfortunately doesn't have enough wattage for an entire band. So let's say the band gets another PA system with enough wattage for rehearsal. My question is: could we effectively use both PA systems at once such that all the instruments go through the higher wattage PA system and I run my vocals through my old lower wattage PA system? Could we achieve equally as good sound through this setup versus running all the instruments and vocals through just one PA system? If so, is this something easy to do, or does it require a lot of technical knowledge and setup? I ask because I don't have more than a very basic understanding of these systems - just know the basic functionality.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
