Occasionally no one's available .... like Saturday just gone we did a private birthday party and no engineer was available so I did my best with the desk to the side of the stage where I was standing. I doubt it was great ....you really can't tell shit mix wise from the stage and anyone who says it's fine doing it that way has probably got used to unprofessional mix standards. You can get some kind of rough balance that's valid for one kind of song and that's about it. If your a one guitar band playing the same kind of rock all night you can get away with it but when you have multiple guitars, 4 vocal harmonies and keys varying from piano to strings to playing horn parts you really need someone mixing it .... as it needs to change form song to song.
So slightly more money each on Sat but I would much rather have had £25 less each and someone decent mixing it out front on an iPad where they can actually hear what's going on
Might want to ask for a raise now though, inflation and all that !
It depends on the band and the amount of equipment used and how capable you are a musicians.
Its not rocket science.
