I never power up anything until  I set up the pa, lights and my drums. Meanwhile I let the electronics get up to room temp, then I'll throw the power switches!

I do store them in a trailer outdoors or in my car. In this case there was so little room in the venue (a restaurant where tables had to be moved to make room for the band) I couldn't bring everything in so was setting it up as I brought it in. I usually put up the mains and mixer and start it playing music so I know things are working as I hook them up - the mains went on within a couple minutes of being brought inside. In this case time was so short I only had time to throw up one monitor mix, three vocal mics and a kick mic before the first set started. I finished miking up while they played :facepalm: .

Been there before! I play in Boston and the bars never move tables until the absolute last minute...or later if people are still sitting at them! Then bitch that we aren't ready to play on time! I always have to remind them that we were not only on time but had gear sitting on the sidewalk for 1/2hr waiting for them to allow us in and you can't expect a six piece band to set up and sound check in 20/25 mins!!!! Gotta love the business!!!! :facepalm:
