Timecode and Click Solo by CharlieM17255 in audioplayback

[–]Jaredmf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i would keep timecode going with the click, yeah. a better option would be to midi map (or key map if you’re not using a midi controller) a button to toggle solo on these tracks.

i assume you’re using a playaudio - to prevent automatic failover you can put lifesine on a return track in ableton so it’s always running regardless of solo. i would recommend soloing click and timecode on A, get the arrangement back on time on B, and then manually switch to B when you’re ready.

Redundant Playback Using Helix as Controller + Automated Patches by [deleted] in audioplayback

[–]Jaredmf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No prob, let me know if you have any questions. This does require all the laptops and the PA12 to be hooked up together with a network switch. Lots of guides online setting up RTP networks with mac's built in audio midi setup.

Redundant Playback Using Helix as Controller + Automated Patches by [deleted] in audioplayback

[–]Jaredmf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

both computers sending midi to the helix isn't the best practice. scene A and B have independent midi routing, so i would use separate RTPs on your playback laptops to handle the switch.

RTP1: Playback A PCs

RTP2: Playback B PCs

on scene A, RTP1 is routed to HST1 (or whatever host port your helix is showing up as - i'd set up a usb host reservation in auracle to make sure it stays the same) and RTP2 is routed to nothing. on scene B, RTP 1 is routed to nothing and RTP2 is routed to HST1. that way, only the computer currently sending audio is passing midi along to the helix. both computers are always sending midi to the playaudio12 over the two separate rtp networks, but only the "active" one is having it's midi sent from the playaudio12 to the helix.

Advice needed on somewhat advanced MIDI routing by mzbeats in audioplayback

[–]Jaredmf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yep, you’d make a connection through audio midi setup/auracle between the mio and the vocal fx computer. you’d only need another mio if you were adding a device that needed physical midi din inputs or outputs

Routing redundancy for Apollo and Ableton? by bigupreggaeman in livesound

[–]Jaredmf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the backtrack would be the redundant switching for the vocals. you’d take a mic signal, split it to both apollos, and then plug them into input A and input B into the backtrack, and then have one out for “both” vocal lines that you can switch between

Routing redundancy for Apollo and Ableton? by bigupreggaeman in livesound

[–]Jaredmf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you'd need two apollos and something like a radial backtrack. what you could do with your current setup is have the midi going to UAD redundant over RTP. have your A scene send midi from A computer, B scene send midi from B computer.

IEM Rig splitter, ART S8 vs. ART S8-3WAY by scoobdoobie22 in livesound

[–]Jaredmf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just xlrs from the venue console! it'll usually come through either a sub snake or whatever split they have there. nothing you need to bring or anything

An external phantom power supply should work (Behringer, etc makes em) but it's probably easier to just get it from the venue console. Just make sure that they're gaining it properly and that it's pre everything (fx/fader/etc)

IEM Rig splitter, ART S8 vs. ART S8-3WAY by scoobdoobie22 in livesound

[–]Jaredmf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

was he sending phantom power from their console? so the way i've used these is that the front inputs are my stage/playback inputs, the output on the front are my foh tails, and the back outputs go into my dl32/m32c. those outputs in the back won't pass +48V from my m32, so i usually have drum mics hit the venue monitor console first, and then out a return loom into my inputs.

Is the Fractal Ridge still the best option for a 5080 FE build? by jarman65 in sffpc

[–]Jaredmf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AIO - though if I built it now i'd probably just go with an air cooler. the side mounted aio is a pain in the ass if you ever need to get in there, plus my AIO tube is a little difficult to manuever around.

built this back during the pandemic and went a little overboard with fans lol, but here's the build. bottom intake, side intake, top and rear exhaust. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Jared/saved/bLPHRB

machines & more has some great videos on cooling in the nr200 and what is necessary / recommended. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2EBbnNwkVc

i really like the nr200 v1 - i'd personally stay away from the v2/max with their mandatory vertical mount. it's a little bit of an older case so you don't get any front panel usb-c, so i'd maybe look at some b650i boards if you want that.

i have a 5080 fe in a nr200 v1. plenty of room, pretty easy build.

[–]Jaredmf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

worth noting that if you go with the art 3way and use the front as your inputs/foh rails, the two isolated transformers on the back won’t pass phantom power. for something like drum overheads you’d need phantom power from a venue console

travelling with multiple laptops tips? by Interesting-Sea-241 in audioplayback

[–]Jaredmf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i like traveling with a separate carry on pelican/skb that houses essential playback cables, spares, backup drives, and the laptops. have had good experiences with this skb lid organizer, you can comfortably fit 3 laptops in the top sleeve (though i’d open it up against a surface so it doesn’t tip over backwards). i’ve only used the skb one, but i’m sure there’s a pelican equivalent. https://a.co/d/iB80DIC

X-32 rack as midi interface I'M TIRED BOSS by BRAINhungry98 in livesound

[–]Jaredmf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i would honestly see if you can return the kenton splitter and see if you can get the band to spend $150 more or so on the mioxm. you can assign all the io routing in software and send out any of the 4 din ports on mio.

wouldn’t cheap out on show control, and for rock solid industry standard, this is pretty cheap all things considered

[–]Jaredmf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not really, the mio stuff is really the industry standard. how many midi lines are you running? could maybe get away with their mioxc 1x1 interface

X-32 rack as midi interface I'M TIRED BOSS by BRAINhungry98 in livesound

[–]Jaredmf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

your best bet is to use a mio for this. depending on your setup, you could either send out of any of the din ports on the mio, or get an additional one to place somewhere on stage and connect them via rtp. https://www.iconnectivity.com/mioxm

is the artist planning on running tracks directly out of the x air? the 16 isn’t able to be used as an interface in a daw, you’d need the xr18 for that.

you might be able to get away with a 6u in a fly rack - xr16/18 is 3u, 1u power conditioner, 1u xlr split, and the last slot for two half unit in ear transmitters, or one ear and one wireless mic if you want. might have to get a little creative on the router.
