I have an Friedman ASC-10. I use this to monitor my live sound and to create/modify presets. When I do this, I play it stage volume. I'm perfectly happy with the sounds I get through this FRFR. It sounds good on stage and in my studio.
However, since using the FM3 on gigs, I have been getting complaints about my sound. The first to comment was girlfriend who said she couldn't hear me like she could before. A musician friend said the guitar sounded thin. A sound tech recently said "it needs work" when I asked how it was sounding. I've gotten positive feedback, too, to be fair. But the negative reports prompt questions:
Am I creating presets optimized for the ASC-10 that are not well-suited for the FOH feed? And if so, what do I need to change?
In general, how do you optimize the signal you send to FOH?
What I have been doing is sending XLR output 1 to my FRFR. XLR Output 2 to FOH. Is there an obvious problem with that?
I can post my main preset when I'm back home. But in the mean time, I welcome any comments about sending the best signal possible to the FOH.
It would be frustrating to learn that I sent a perfectly fine signal to FOH, but the sound tech isn't making it sound good. The main reason I went digital is to give the sound guy an easier time getting a good, controllable sound.
