Re: [ARSCLIST] Not using headphones

All they need to do is raise the mic to about neck level. Some bands 
will lean down a bit fo rvocals - but the instruments are usually their 
priority. I'd rather have too little vocal than too much depending on 
the band (and their singing abilities!). If too much vocal a bit of 
compression can help but better without.

But if they can't hear themselves acoustically, the PA is too loud 
maybe.
