Amp levels
Someone has told me that you should turn your amp up to full, then connect
your mixer and adjust the volume with it and the gain. Is this reccomended?
I always turn my amp halfway then the mixer the same. What do others do?

With most setups, it isn't. Applying a lot of amplification to a weak
signal will just result in poor signal-to-noise ratio.
Get your mixer to output about the maximum level it can handle without
distorting (if it has onboard VU-meters, keep them just below red, or
around 0 dB). Then set the volume with the amp's controls.

Re: Amp levels
turn on mixer first..then turn on amps....then turn up volume to required
levels on the amps.....the amps i use havelghts on them to let you know when
you are clipping ....(they run on green then go red if clipping occurs)

Re: Amp levels
I do that anjii, I turned the amp to full last night then adjusted the sound
levels with the mixer using the gain and master volume. I didn't clip except
when I used my mic. So a good night was had by all!
Merry Xmas BTW!
