Sound Setup for Rehearsal and Small Venues

Rockwall TX

Description

Howdy all! I was hoping to get some advice from the community here and/or a sound tech. Please be kind as I'm a bass player by trade who's trying to do double duty as a newbie sound tech! Need some help with setup & placement of equipment for rehearsal, small corporate gigs, house parties, and small venues. We're all experienced band members, but none of us took the time to learn the ropes of stage setup! I'm happy to setup a zoom call or in-person setting if it's necessary. Also understand there could be a fee involved. I don't think any instrument PA mic'ing will be needed, but what do I know?! Here's what I do know and/or need help with: -4 piece: Bass, drummer, guitar, guitar/keyboard/vocals -PA: Need to purchase a PA - Advice? Brand? Configuration? Placement? -Bass Player: EB Stingray and Hartke Combo 500w as well as double duty as a guitarist on some songs w/a Les Paul and Orange Combo 30w as well as backup vocals - Advice? Placement? Needed accessories? -Guitar Player: Les Paul, Mustang 100w, Crate 100w w/ ABY splitter/wet dry rig. As well as double duty as a bassist on some songs as well as backup vocals - Advice? Separate bass amp needed? Needed accessories? -Drummer: 5 piece as well as backup vocals - Advice? -Singer/guitar/keyboard: Guitar, combo amp, analog synth - Advice? Needed accessories? I know this is a lot of info and I appreciate any help or advice. Feel free to call or text before 9pm or email anytime. Thanks all!!!
