Okay, I'm running sound at The Zeiterion in New Bedford, MA in a couple days (25th, 26th and 27th) and I'm hoping I haven't bit off more then I can chew. They have a Yamaha M7 board and I have never used a digital board when running a show before. I've used many Analog Boards from Soundcraft, Mackie and A&H and that stuff is no problem for me.
So here's the question, what do I need to know about mixing with a Digital board like this that is different from an Analog board? Is there like, an offline editor that I could download and play with beforehand to get familiar with it?
Also, what is the standard procedure for a sound check in a prefessional environment? I've only done high school and college shows so far and I want to be crystal clear on what I should and should NOT do in a professional environment. On my list so far I have, Check/Change Batteries, Check Packs to make sure they are working, and then Check Levels. Is there anything else I should do?
Thanks Guys!
