Thanks for the advice, Ty. I’m going to do a little more research on the technical bits you’re dropping so I can wrap my head around that. But at least it’s a place to start.
“if you don’t bother to listen”
Sorry if I sound defensive, but this seems to imply some sort of carelessness. I was actually straining to hear the feed through my headphones, but like I said the venue was so damn loud I couldn’t make out what was happening, which is why I had to rely on visual levels. I’ll take a look at the headphones you mentioned. That may help. The setup was also a bit of a problem since I was set up at the very back of the audience and the DJ was literally on stage with the performers. I couldn’t leave my equipment alone to go up mid-performance and try to investigate the problem (even if I knew where to look). That’s why I’m searching for a camera-side solution. So, just a tough situation all the way around, which is why I want to avoid it in the future. With the great info I’m getting from you guys, I think I’ll be much better prepared next time.
Thanks again for the help!
