most of my experiences with *pro* sound guys have been positive. the problem is usually in bars, where the owner's buddy knows how to set up a PA and gets the "sound guy" job whether he can mix or not.
the best experience i've ever had with sound guys was at Billy Bob's in Fort Worth, Texas (mid-'80s). the sound out front even satisfied our extremely picky manager, and the monitor mix was like listening to the band on a good stereo. we were local (Dallas) and had a regular weeknight gig for a short while there, as well as opening for several headliners. the sound was always *perfect*.
