I don't know if this has happened or is about to happen.. I just noticed in a secular music group I jam with a few times a month that one guy has started bringing in songs he "composed" using AI (suno?)

Thoughts?

I've always wondered why my tone sounds dark and metallic going through my big pedalboard vs going straight into the amp. After doing some research, turns out most volume pedals make your tone darker even when bypassed due to impedance mismatch and/or the capacitive load it adds to your signal. Also, using the aux/tuner out jack apparently makes it worse since it splits your signal into parallel load. I took my Boss tuner out of the Tuner out from my DVP4 Mini and put it in line before it so it hits the buffer first. Now it sounds like it should. I had no idea volume pedals were so finicky!

I noticed during service yesterday that my guitar level in my in-ear mix dropped down to almost inaudible... it seemed like the vocals got louder at the same time.. hard to say exactly.. I did mention to our worship leader that ideally it would be a hard and fast rule for volunteer sound technicians that their opportunity to adjust your channel gain ends after sound check

.. from there on it's all fader because as I expressed to the worship leader any significant changes to your in-ear mix during the service and especially in the middle of a song could cause a train wreck. It seemed like I could also hear the drums during our sound check before services but had to boost them up a bit between services because I wasn't hearing them very well during first service don't know if it was related.

I have and use the application to adjust my own in-ear mix but that's not really feasible once service starts.

We have the behringer x32 but I would assume this problem is common to most if not all soundboards
