Yea well he could have done with saying 'filter's on mate'.
I was really embarrassed, but luckily the crowd weren't too fickle on this occasion. I didn't notice anyone leave anyway!

If I've never used a mixer before that I'm about to play on I wont hesitate to ask for a few pointers before playing on it.

I was playing on a 92 the other weekend and the guy after me usually doesn't play on one so i gave him a crash course and what was what with the light from my mobile phone. Just important things like booth volume/master volume (as it wasn't at peak yet) headphone volume ( cue mix/master), and the filters.

In fairness the 92 once you break it down is a relatively simple mixer.

I played on an 800 a while back for the first time and found it a lot more complex but after asking a few question i knew how to use the basic functions and was laughing

If in doubt, ask.

It is a little annoying the way the PFL doesn't allow you to listen to the filter. I often just turn off the PFL ask i'm mixing it in to listen to how wet/dry the filter is on the mix..
