I'm very interested in making music but right now live sound is more important for me to know. And even though Im learning the baby of basics when it comes to making music and sounds on the computer I want to be able to focus more on live performances. So I need to be able to bounce some simple questions and have them anwered in simple terms.
What (to you, the answerer) is the most important quality in a live sound engineer? What is the first thing I need to focus on?
I know things here and there from listening and watching but I dont have a starting point, so therefor I dont know which way is up. I dont know if there is a way up really because the more you know the better huh?

The most important thing in every mix is the VOCAL.
Keep them out front above everything else and DON'T MUTE THEM just because the stage volume is loud. "Professional" sound companies do this to us and often forget or miss the first few words of the next verse in an effort to clean up the mix. It's not a crime to have the guitar amps not in the house mix if they're too loud - or anything else for that matter. Resist the temptation to twidle knobs and cause feedback - once you get it sounding good try to leave it alone.
