"Hi my name is Jerimae Yoder on behalf of Expert Village working out with the venues make sure that the venues know if or not your bring sound gear to do your shows. My suggestion is to let the venues have there own sound gear and let them take care of there own stuff. If you do have the venue provide the sound for you make sure your sending them a sample plot of how you guys are going to set up as far as where your drummer is, how many mics they need, how many DI's, or inputs you need for your guitars. Bring a sound guy with you to run sound but if you don't have to bring your own sound that's a lot of weight less in your vehicle in your trailer that you have to pull around. But you know your running the situations where they don't have there own sound gear, and you want to have the best quality gear that you guys want to play on. So sometimes it is better you guys have as a band and have to figure that out as you go."

on 4/16/2009 This video is okay but labeled incorrectly. It should not be called "How to make a Stage Plot" because it never tells you how to actually make a stage plot! What's the best way to import these pictures or mic stands, drums, amps, etc??? Where does one find these kinds of graphs to place on or use in a stage plot??? It should be called, "when to use a stage plot" or "running sound with a venue", or "what a stage plot looks like"! Nevertheless, keep up the work, not bad but including those other factors would help a lot of people out there. Thanks.
