It comes in handy sometimes though - on more than one occasion musicians
have
asked me to do something stupid with a monitor mix while they are on
stage. You
look them straight in the eye, grab an unconnected knob and start to
twist, then
raise your eyebrows in a sort of 'is that better?' gesture from the side
of stage. Often
they'll give you a happy nod and smile. If you don't get the nod, then
there's
probably work to do.

Regards,

Glenn.

Sometimes it is wise to leave one empty channel strip at the end
of the console at which the producer sits. One then gets to mix in
peace:-))
