However, the place is a coffee shop with a capacity of about ~60 customers, and Craig always favors the voice. He's been running instruments through the board too, but the sound out front is always well-balanced and never too loud. Coffee Amici's Web site has some nice photos of the place, you can get some idea of the environment from the shots: http://www.coffeeamici.com Will do, sir. :) Thanks for listening, Frank, and thank you for your always-welcome comments. Best, dp
