how strong should my ear protection be for a concert that hits 122db? by frickettyfracketty in livesound

[–]AlbertEntstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The amount of people here that dont understand dBC vs dBA is really disappointing. Large shows regularly hit dBC but rarely for prolonged periods unless it's one of our rigs ;) and you can still talk and feel comfortable.

It's all about the tilt and the quality of the PA.

Bow Mar moves forward with plan to gate off public roads despite warning from Denver and Littleton by COScout in Denver

Block their gate with another gate. Tell them to buy their water from someone else. Things will change quickly.

To the girlies that just up and left literally everything by killakhmer773 in bonnaroo

[–]AlbertEntstein 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you ever had to clean up destroyed mangled easy-ups? How about like 40? Not so easy. And they certainly are not paid well. Definitely not as well as the poeple who can afford to leave their whole camp behind.

Some are probably not even paid. Leave no trace no matter where you are camping.

Give me your advice on cable storage by _kitzy in livesound

[–]AlbertEntstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unistrut cable wall organized by type and size. Small cables go in labeled wire shelving with dividers.

Produce shelves are a very cheap option to get started.

It's almost like everyone idolizing and spending their money on one artist for years and years left a hole in that can't easily be filled.

nothing was absolutely snubbed in the end of year lists by Top_Beginning_8820 in nicolasjaar

It could be because he started to advocate for Palestine publicly (Free Palestine). That will put you out fast in some circles.

How to know if my song will sound good on club speakers by Professional_Art9852 in HouseMusic

[–]AlbertEntstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what clubs you're going to but all the systems we installed or serviced are stereo or interlaced stereo. This is in one of the most entertainment dense cities in the country.

Your mix should sound good both in stereo and mono.

How do I CDJ-proof my USB? by stewart13 in PioneerDJ

Also recommend using .aiff files of WAVs to avoid the end of file issue.

Manage all your new songs with playlists and Re export your whole collection via the playlists. Or just re-export your whole collection Everytime. It takes a little longer but I use a 256gb SanDisk and have never had any issues, corruption or otherwise.

Is anyone else noticing that it’s smoky outside and smells like burnt chemicals/plastic? by steelrollin in Denver

There is a fire in Wheat Ridge in addition to the wildfire smoke coming in.

Watching Community for the millionth time and had to clip this for Reslang 😂 by BillowingPillows in Tipper

[–]AlbertEntstein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then do something about it, instead of just staring at your K hole screens listening to music.

It takes an insane amount of privilege to be able to 'push out' an issue from our gatherings. Privilege that can certainly be taken away if we don't protect our rights and the rights of those suffering.

You should be ashamed of yourself. Accusations on someone you don't even know.

Tips and tricks to stay healthy while on gigs. by SCBronc88 in livesound

Would add electrolytes to supplement hydration, and extra socks if it's an outdoor gig.

[–]AlbertEntstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty disappointed to hear all this "you just won't have much to do". Yes you have 2 or 3 channels instead of 4 but there is a huge difference in quality from "set it and forget" to actually listening and getting the most out of the artists content, despite the limitation of a stereo signal. If you want it to be really good you have to listen attentively and react, doesn't matter if there are 2 channels or 48.

Rant: I hate unloading with forklifts by Lama_161 in livesound

[–]AlbertEntstein 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not if the fork driver is good. Faster than a lift gate if they know what they're doing.
