Thanks guys for your replies, they have been helpful at least I know it ain't perculiar to my people.
FerrariRed thanks, the monitor is on the floor in front of me and yes they are individually mixed in, but it seems like these guys are not really interested, I find myself teaching em how to mix monitors or the reason why, really and truly nobody wants to really take responsibilty for the sound department, just peeps who volounteer to help, so I find myself doing the sound mix and then playing.
Should the sound ministry come under the singing ministry as far as the PA is concerned not including recording tapes and videos.
