I've also been on all sides of the fences (studio engineer, live sound engineer (FOH and monitors), and dj/on-stage producer with a touring hip hop act). Played a few shows in NYC. I got so frustrated with sound guys at my own shows I kinda took matters into my own hands a some point. I bought an Yamaha 01v and mixed our shows on stage and ran a stereo line out to the FOH guys. To make matters more interesting, I used an MPC with the 01v and programmed effects (delay on certain words, blast of verb at the end of a song, etc) via midi control messages in a sequence that ran the length of the show. Actually worked pretty well. Took a few shows to get it down, but once we did, it was like having the best sound man in the world at every show. We used that rig at SOBs a couple of times and the sound guy their thought it was great.
