THANK YOU!!! You just saved my entire week!

I'm three hours from loading in a beautiful Meyer M'elodie rig for a youth camp. I've got all the music I could ever need to keep these kids on their toes, but they're doing kind of a Peter Pan-esque theme for the drama acts this year, and I need a lot of sound effects to fit. I have the BBC...

I was pretty much going for a hypothetical using a space I'm familiar with as a basis just to say that the room has EQ, compressors, and effects, but... Erm... If we were to keep it going using those specs, we'll say ~600 person capacity standing, ~300 in seats (I know, odd numbers, but it's a...
