So, I have a gig coming up in a couple of weeks and my guitarist is trying to convince our band to all run direct an use the stage monitors/mix.
My bassist flat out refuses to play without his rig as he loves his tone.
I'm hesitant not to have my amp beside me, firing side stage. It's nice being able to turn up my amp volume if/when I can't really hear the keys too well.
But, I'm never really satisfied with the results of recordings we have done of previous shows, level-wise.
So, my questions are: would just running direct be something worth trying? Would a sound guy prefer that to having amp volume on stage? Would it create a better sounding FOH sound? Has anyone, or does anyone, run direct without an onstage keyboard amp?
Cheers!
