Hi damon, I've listened to your tracks on your web site, they sound great, just create tracks like that and push the drums slightly forward for your live mix (only for your live set) as you already have them mix great for studio mixed products). Maybe sometime in the future, you could take a listen to the active RCF speakers. RCF do active speakers that are 750 watts per speaker and are lighter than the Mackies. For convenience and quality sound I don't think there's anything to top the RCF active speakers. If transportation and Money wasn't the issue then I'd love to be using Nexo speakers or Martin audio speakers as they are in my opinion the best live speakers I've ever heard, I can spot Nexo and Martin audio before anyone tells me the makes.

I was kind of going along the lines yu suggested. I am hoping I can find places to play with a built in PA system. But if I don't, my cousin has a PA, ev evolution 15's with a sub, but that's a lot of gear to haul and he may not do it, he's flaky like that. But, we'll see. I just have to figure out what songs I want to do and then go from there. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5306 (20100723) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
