quite true. Most of the time, you don't have to bother with the reverb unless of course the hall has extremely bad acoustics.
Speaking about acoustics, how do you compensate for a bad acoustics hall (lots of echos and places for soundwaves to build up)? So far, i've been mixing in a pretty well designed hall, but i believe there are soundman who are mixing in not so ideal conditions. Heard that there's some processors which picks up signal using a condenser and automatically does the correction to the mix.
I guess we both have the same approach, mixing instruments first and then proceeding to vocals. However, since i mix for church worship, i tend to focus more on vocal clarity in the end.
For echo/reverb/reflections, acoustically treat the room...diffusers, bass traps, rockwool panels etc.Speaking about acoustics, how do you compensate for a bad acoustics hall (lots of echos and places for soundwaves to build up)?

Don't really know about any "processors" but what I know is you can use a spectrum analyzer which will tell you what frequencies are being boosted/cut due to the room's acoustics, and then use a 31-band EQ to flatten out the curve created by the hall.
Downside is spectrum analyzers are expensive, but you probably can get by with renting one.
