I hear you. I have really just started thinking about what the orchestration assignments need to be. My focus at this rehearsal is to make sure we are all on the same page. Come to think about, I probably played the same patch on all 3 songs.
I could spend an hour layering my rig for just the "right" sound. I try and figure that stuff out at home, otherwise we would all be there half a day.
But I agree, I am definitely going to have to change the patch settings .
