Hi, I am currently working at a production and someone decided it was a good idea to have a live band. The band has been unreasonably loud and the band director is unwilling to try to make them quieter. Due to this issue I have to set the actors mic's (Shure xls-1s with countryman e2 lavaliers) very high to be heard over the band and the quality is just terrible. In addition we are having to use way too many mics and running them all at the same time also seems to be a problem. I have tried boosting the amp so i can lower the main mix and gains on the board but it still isn't enough. I keep putting various sound dampeners around the band but they just aren't cutting it.
