I'm interested in how you do a sound check, especially since most of you are doing a single and may not have the luxury of a sound man. On my one and only gig since I've gone the AK route, I had a "poor man's sound man". The female vocalist's husband ran back and forth from the middle of the room to the on stage mixing board. When it was finally tuned, the levels were 100% higher than where I initially set them!
When you are behind the KB, you have no idea how it sounds out there. You may be able to hear the balance thru a monitor or the KB speakers, but not the overall level. I'm especially interested in hearing from those of you that do one-nighters and private parties.
