Wow!!!, I was thinking about this very topic riding into work this morning. I'm having difficulty getting the same sound everytime I play at church. Some days it's good and then there are the other days. I can not understand why the sound guys can't get the sound set and leave it. But Cal makes some good points. I am a very diplomatic person. So I think about how I approach people so as not to offend them. Again referring to some of Cal's comments, our church has the capability to control the sound in each individual monitor. But I think we have a gremlin in our church. :twisted: Our sound guys come to our rehearsals and get the sound right, but come Sunday, everything has been changed. I agree with you that it's not wrong to desire a certain/particular sound. If you know (in your head) what the particular sound is you want, then the next thing I suggest is to think about the equipment you have at your church, then sit down with your sound crew and discuss ways to resolve it. :? See if they can come to rehearsals. See if it's possible to rearrange things. How is your monitor set up (behind you on the floor, on your side or maybe mounted and level with your head). Have you considered head phones or (if budget permits) in-ear monitor systems?
Good luck
