Monitor decision training
Monitor mix training for live sound
Monitor mixing is a negotiation between clarity, confidence, and feedback risk. Main Act trains the listening and triage side: what to add, what to remove, when to reduce stage volume, and how to keep the show moving.
What to do first
Step 1
Translate the performer request into a specific mix move.
Step 2
Protect the vocal and click/reference elements first.
Step 3
Watch feedback risk as wedge level rises.
Step 4
Use subtraction when more level will make the stage worse.

The fastest automated path is the free feedback test: it gives a concrete score, a weak band, and a reason to start daily Live Sound reps.
Questions
Is this for wedges or in-ears?
Both. The product includes monitor and IEM concepts, with feedback-specific work when wedges are involved.
Why pair monitor training with feedback training?
Many feedback problems start on stage. Better monitor decisions reduce the number of emergency EQ moves out front.
