Mixing notes
The most important thing is that the audience can hear the lyrics; we don’t necessarily need to be very loud.
Please EQ the tuba flattish, don't worry if it's a bit raspy; sounding like a tuba rather than a bass guitar.

Please avoid using a gate on the bass drum. Some songs have much quieter drums and hits can be lost if the threshold is too high

No reverb please!
