From: nandan21 on 7 Jul 2010 13:34 Most of the Engineers prefer to sit in centre of the audience to mix a live performance, but a few prefer to sit off-centre. Sitting in centre does not give correct idea of your mix as bass frequencies sum up at that position, points tech papers and writings. What are your reasoned preferences?

It's really room dependent. I generally prefer at ground/audience level, slightly off center to avoid the power alley if the subs are split on each side of the stage. And I like to be far enough back from the stage to hear what good chunk of people are hearing distance wise. However, nothing substitutes for getting out from behind the mix position and walking the venue so you know where the problems are and what people are hearing. Rupert
