I am currently revisiting my volume and boost strategy and was hoping for some insight into how others are doing it.
While I continue to experiment, currently I generally have three options for boosting that have been my current habit:
1) Morph (3dB increase in volume + minor tweaks)
2) Green Scream (basically M. Britt's setting in the 65 AC30 profiles: 1.4 drive +1.4 volume)
3) Studio EQ (I *think* this is the 'Cut The Mix' preset with the Volume +3)
Assuming for the moment that all units are dB, each option change is @3dB which I *thought* I had read somewhere is a good place to start/standard but it might just have been what someone else was doing.
What I have found, though, is that in live practice settings, generally using one is not enough, and sometimes two at the same time is not enough, but all three is too loud. So, I am thinking I need to increase the individual settings to somewhere between +6-8 dB so I only need to use one at any given time. However, I am concerned that may be too much to send to FOH - any thoughts or other strategies I should consider?
