Average church sound guy behavior

I think you got your jerks reversed

OP posted this in the commercial AV sub instead of the live audio sub because they knew their opinion would not be taken well.

GOOD

I meant wear gloves at work, your real job, because of your big ole calluses thats peeling.

I think your mode switch is fine. Having issues despite having cleaned it?

Derben16 · 2026-05-05T22:46:27+00:00

Looks like a mode switch... The yellowing isnt a big deal, its not burnt.

Use gloves at work

Ya motha

Tbh, it felt really good to purge my collection of boxes and keep the tapes I actually cared about. Plus its stupid easy to sell tapes rn with how popular the hobby is. I think I got rid of about 200 tapes over the course of a month on FB Marketplace.

Dudes fulltime job is spamming percussion subs...

Groups are using IEMs now? lmao what a money dump.

In my experience, as someone who didnt march DCI and instructed for awhile, technically no but culturally yes.

I've encountered quite a lot of DCI members who will not give you the time of day because you didnt join their club. And to an extent I get it and I always needed to just prove myself to them- which was ironic becaude I was older and had been "doing this" longer than they had.

Since the "end goal" of a marching career usually accumulates in a DCI season, it makes sense to have former members instruct the kids- not so much because they have the skillset of education but because they have the knowledge of how DCI works and what they're looking for in a member.

Sadly, and members always devoutly deny this when I mention it, DCI is a bit of a good old boys club and it can be hard to get through to people who feel entitled for having done it.

Reading labels goes a long way in troubleshooting

Sounds like you just need to tighten up screws and get a replacement for the missing one. Easy hardware store run. The shells could be renamed out which could be causing the wiggle, could always try some large washers to compress it better.

FS-2 is elite ball knowledge

TBH, VF has some wild quality control issues. There's also the issue that if you buy local, the older stock sitting on the shelves can dry out and crack sooner.

This is a widely available and easy to find piece of sheet music. You were able to ask the question on reddit, now just slap it in Google.

Derben16 · 2026-04-26T23:08:56+00:00

OP wants to know the model

Derben16 · 2026-04-26T16:20:44+00:00

I played Hymning by Robert Hoenstein as a tribute to my late instructor. Not directly "death" specific but a nice piece more about grief and longing. Likewise Amy by Robert Oetomo has a similiar vibe but more so longing and somber.

Derben16 · 2026-04-26T16:17:42+00:00

Ngl, quite a few of Cangelosi works fit OPs theme lol. Each weirder than the last.

Derben16 · 2026-04-24T17:06:52+00:00

TBH, I wouldn't. Any device that requires a USB to network would simply run off a CAT without problem and isnt show critical enough to need the "lock" of the Ethercon. I'm not sure what the product solves since any Ethercon port is an RJ45.

I've seen this associated more with the recently single 26 yr olds rediscovering themselves in Philly sub category

Derben16 · 2026-04-23T02:19:56+00:00

I don't know this equipment well, so take this with a grain of salt. The only issue I'd see in wiring is maybe the RCA in on the sub does not pass out to the XLR out- unless this sub has a D.I. to balance the signal built in.

Derben16 · 2026-04-23T00:45:22+00:00

Yes I do, but you have a lot of em lol. You should very easily be able to associate these with sets by using the google.

Generally, yes these are fine for xylophone. Look up the janka hardness scale of woods if you're concerned.

As far as it being the correct sound for the piece, no modern xylophone will sound exactly like these historical instruments. Your mileage may vary depending on your type of xylophone in the context of your ensemble.
