The next step after dialing in your drums is to shift to the rest of the band. Organize your guitar, keys, bass, synth bass, and other instruments into their respective groups and layouts. Each instrument should be accessible to manage adjustments on the fly.

The guitar bank should be organized in such a way that you can access each instrument easily. Dedicated effects for electric and acoustic guitars allow for a soundscape tailored to your preference. Sometimes, violins and certain loops will be included in this section which demonstrates the need for a comprehensive, yet simple, fader layout.

Be adaptable and prepared for any arrangement that might occur during a service. Be flexible to accommodate for different keyboards as needed. A dedicated key reverb can be used to tailor the sound to your preference.

Dedicated effects for guitars and keys are important. Each instrument has its own unique sound that enhances the overall dynamic. Customization and playing around with what works and what doesn’t creates the right ‘mood’ for each song.
