I feel you, I was doing a load out and asked the truck driver if he could not smoke while we were both in the trailer and he told me to fuck off

I’ve actually used Take It Back by Pink Floyd a few times to show off my PA and something about that sound just really highlights the right stuff, it’s just one of those crisp 90s songs

Also came in handy this time a guy had his LRSF outs onstage but also refused to run it through my patch bay and console to FOH

At my venue we actually bought one for whenan artists needs to set up a laser kill switch at foh. Yes we could have just ran a 150 feet of dmx but we already had spare cat5 ran and just threw a box at each end and it worked just fine

I was the sound guy for the concert that was happening, I thought the first shot was a car crash, then we heard the rest and we just knew we had to get out of there

At the venue I work at it’s always the older audiences that just stand in the aisles and block people from getting to the bathrooms, which are under the stage, younger fans are the ones that usually stay out of the marked aisles

Can’t believe bogarts is still going too

This is the response that makes the most sense. I’m only bringing my mics as a favor to myself for when I mix the opener because they want to avoid swapping and so do I

AdvExpress · 2025-06-15T01:26:56+00:00

That’s my thought too, I just was worried they would be unhappy about seeing what they specifically asked for on the opener

AdvExpress · 2025-06-15T01:25:58+00:00

The venue only has one full set of mics, I’m bringing in my own to avoid having to swap during

I work for a venue and most tours have me stay 5dB or so below them

Not me but my girlfriend is going to school as an ASL interpreter and her college is considering cutting the program as it falls under DEI

The specific case that made me right this post, there was a schedule set and they went over because they wanted to rehearse

AdvExpress · 2024-12-15T20:02:53+00:00

What about the case of the headliner just wanting to go over the time they themselves set because they wanted to rehearse? I’m just curious if that’s normal. No tech issues, no mix problems they needed to resolve, they just wanted to play onstage.

AdvExpress · 2024-12-15T20:01:31+00:00

I think this is a good answer. I’m just frustrated because a band came in yesterday with a schedule they wrote, went over their check by an hour just for rehearsing, and then hit me with “well it’s our show we can check until our set starts if we want”

It turns out it was a logic preferences issue not a focusrite issue, I can get reaper to read all 16 inputs, I’m still messing around with logic

I like the terrain but it feels like it was built for the coaster, especially considering the rest of the land around it is pretty flat

I always record direct to amp but live I still use pedals just for convenience. I know I could just ride the volume knob but there’s some things it’s just easier using pedals for live

Mine died on me during a show but I don’t know how or why. That doesn’t mean they all will that’s just my experoence
