🥁 DRUMS OUT OF TUNE PLEASE tune the drums before sound check (EQ & comp won't fix that cardboard box sound lol) 🎤 BAD MIC TECNIQUE It's not that the microphone is not too quiet, the singer is just no holding it close enough and/or projecting like they should. ⏰ NO TIME FOR SOUND CHECK If you don't have time to line check the band before they start playing, that increases the margin of error pretty significantly of things that can go wrong... that's what you use soundcheck for: to prevent that.
