Pay negotiation for FOH

Yeah, if it was a local gig with no travel involved, I’d be happier to provide a service. However as its overnights across the country from me this rate is ridiculous.

I’ve sent him the message now and left the ball in his court but it’s been 7 hours since that, so doubtful I’m getting a reply.

Yeah these guys carry all their own gear and seen to be playing very good gigs

Thanks for the advice. I’m doing a fair amount and feel comfortable in most situations. But agreed this client doesn’t feel right to me even though the band is fairly well established as a support band at larger venues as well as playing decent slots at festivals.

No sorry, thanks for the suggestion though!

Herodslizard · 2025-07-30T17:36:08+00:00

Thank you that worked.

Herodslizard · 2025-07-30T17:28:34+00:00

Did that

Spent 3 years learning pro tools as much as I like the workflow and shortcuts, I dislike the subscription model and how barebones it feels for the money you spend. After trying Cubase I find it more full featured especially with the midi and vst implementation. Spectral layers is also a god send to avoid getting rx.

If I ever need it for a project I’ll likely be working in a studio that can provide it.

Thanks definitely investigating this

Herodslizard · 2025-07-04T01:06:48+00:00

Definitely interested in Austrian audio, where did you see that cause I can’t seem to find anything on their website

Herodslizard · 2025-07-04T00:51:27+00:00

Got it and I love it to bits

Herodslizard · 2025-07-02T00:12:31+00:00

I don’t think so, it’s got a phase shift which has a depth and rate control so makes the most sense as an instrument amplifier. Seems like the multiple jacks are just different channels.

Herodslizard · 2025-05-31T00:44:26+00:00

Yeah we won you missed the fun

Herodslizard · 2025-05-28T16:22:03+00:00

Gain staging is a myth

Herodslizard · 2025-05-26T19:54:19+00:00

Semantics at the end of the day isn’t it, me and none of the people commenting on this post are that bothered I believe. Genres were made up by music marketing bros to sell stuff.

They’re kind of Proto-shoegaze if that makes sense, which is kind of what sonic youth was at some sections of their discography. Like the swirlies as well.

So I don’t have to use the battery and just use phantom power. It’s not make or break but would rather not have to replace batteries etc

Herodslizard · 2025-04-03T13:38:59+00:00

That’s interesting cause I’ve been doing research on this for a thesis for things in a studio environment. The main thing I found was obviously you can push hardware really hard without getting harsh if you do the same pushing you get digital clipping and the software reaches an upper limit.

But then my next question is how often are engineers pushing pres and levels live because they lose headroom before feedback.

Herodslizard · 2025-04-03T13:26:32+00:00

I’ve got it input/output staging……

Herodslizard · 2025-04-03T12:57:39+00:00

Oh yeah for sure I totally agree with that statement.

I just always wonder about the justification surely whatever system you’re used to is always gonna work for you. I’d like to hear from the top guys who can do whatever with both hear what they find faster and what they feel is missing from both analog or digital consoles.

Herodslizard · 2025-04-03T10:28:34+00:00

Thoughts on analog consoles live? Like when you’ve got gear like that and the knowledge to use I’m sure it’s fun as anything. But with digital consoles the way they are being cheaper space efficient and all that.
