| Yes, I mean being the FOH engineer. Having to rely on someone else's settings WILL get you into trouble. I know you don't want to hear it but it IS the truth. Are you always connecting to the same console? Some will have direct outs and some will not. The ones with will either be pre or post fader, the latter being detrimental to your recording. What happens when the guitar amp is so loud that it doesn't need to be in the house speakers? It will not pass to your recorder.
I would suggest using your Mackie mixer for preamps if you cannot afford to purchase anything and try to find another answer for your confidence monitoring. |
