Thanks ErikH. I've been in all sorts of live situations, a lot of times with Peavey stuff from the 70s or 80s and equipment that hasn't been updated in decades, or even places without clean power and needing a power conditioner. A lot of times places still use floor wedges for monitoring.
I still have kind of an old school "turn your amp up loud enough" or "mic it if you can't be loud enough" mentality.
I thought having FRFR and IEM close together might cause some kind of loop. I've never used IEMs either. They seem kind of high end for modest gigs--I've seen separate monitoring and FOH engineers, and obviously the more you add on (assuming the band brings their own people instead of using the venue's), the overhead goes up.
I really need to brush up on my live sound knowledge so it is as strong as my home recording knowledge.
