Question for some of the experts here. Played the other night - probably my 50th show with the Axe-Fx III with no issues and nothing reported from FoH. Saturday, the sound tech says "your levels are jumping all over - I have to keep riding the faders cause things are changing by 4-6db".
Being open to constructive feedback, I just set my stuff up here at home again and cranked up my volume and checked with a db meter and all of my presets with the exception of my lead channels are very close to each other. I only use about 4 presets live and the one I attached is a big part of the night.
One thing that I didn't find out until waaaay late in the night, even after I had kindly requested that they give me flat EQ, is that he cut my lows and highs - appropriately for a mic'd cab most likely - and who knows what else. We do our own monitors so in my ears, things sounded great. Also at sound check when I went out front, I was hearing what I expected to hear from the Axe from a tone perspective.
So, my question (finally right?) - if they were messing with the EQ on my channel, could that cause them to have some volume inconsistencies, or perceived volume inconsistencies (like for example if they cranked my mids)?
I was wondering if someone could load up this preset and let me know if you're getting anything weird? Scenes 1 and 3 are the rhythm scenes and Scenes 2, 4, 5, 6 are lead scenes (couple of pitch things for specific songs in there). I do have a volume block attached to FC Pedal 2.
No rush, but if someone CAN take a look that would be awesome! Out 1 goes to them and once they were happy with it, I never touched it all night.
Thanks in advance!
