FOH Mixing Guidelines for David Laflamme Band:

1. Female vocalist should be slightly behind in mix with David when singing with him

2. Violin should not be hot in the mix all of the time. Often he will play light back up parts during other's solos.

3. The Leslie should be very present/full in the mix

4. Back up vocal mics need to be equally up in the FOH mix to blend with David and Linda on harmonies.

5. Put a lot of Delay on Harmonica solos

Monitor Mix Starting Point Guidelines (6 mixes):

1. David requires that Linda (female vocalist) is NOT in his mix at all, only his vocal. He may need some Violin in his monitor on loud stages. Other as requested.

2. Linda wants mostly herself with a light blend of all other vocals

3. Guitar and Keys (opposite side of stage from each other) want an even blend of all vocals, others as requested. Should be on separate mixes.

4. Bass wants mostly his vocal with a VERY light blend of all other vocals.

5. Drums needs Kick, some Violin, light overall vocal blend, other as requested.
