Set the levels for our low-volume moments, and we'll back away from the mic and step off the strings as neccessary. Trust us... we'll be gentle... we've done this before.

Let me 'splain... no... it's too much... let me sum up... rob's guitar is mixed to the front, as it is the lead instrument and rob and Heather's vocals can be mixed pretty evenly with Rowan's vocals mixed more to the back. If the monitor mix matches the house mix pretty well, we can balance ourselves quite effectively. Heather and Rowan's djembes are our thunderous double bass.
