Keyboard player Chris is connected to the channel 10 and 11 line inputs...well, Chris isn't connected to
the inputs; his keyboard is! Vocalist Anthony is singing through a mic connected to the mic 19 input. A
bass guitar is connected to an Ampeg rig which is connected (via DI) to the mic 20 input. The last four
mono channels of each 24 and 32-channel VLZ4 4•Bus mixer have built-in compressors, so feel free to
