>>Many sound "grunts" that mix these shows know very little about
acoustic
music and how to make instruments sound good.<<

anyone who knows less than i (about how to make acoustic instruments
sound good with electric amplification) knows VERY little(g)

>>All they care about is gain
before feedback. There are ways of getting relatively close to get good
gain, but still have it sound good.<<

and also little idea of how an orchestra should sound, and a mistrust of
wide dynamic range.
so now my question is, am i likely to be getting the effect i aim for
when i lean closer the mic when i have a soloist section (like we did
when i played in jazz band in hs&college?)
another challenge is that we have little or no monitor.

one sound co. would put the weaknesses of our group and their own set-up
in stark comparison by playing studio recordings of Boston Pops
immediately before and after the 'live' performance. ouch!
