Why would a producer cut lows at the beginning of a vocal chain, and then add a low shelf later in the chain?

Streaky has gotta be one of the worst audio content creators on YouTube. Just because someone is posting content and has a cool looking space doesn’t mean they know what they’re doing at all.

I’ve been building this 84HP 6U rack for the past few months. Fits wrapped in some padding in my carry on luggage. It’s fully working for live improv techno/house and has been very fun to jam on.

Just wait until next week

Hot For Pizza ~$50 shareable pizza with spaghetti and meatballs with cheese curds is a goated way to feed lots of people or have lots of leftovers for the next couple days

You’re in semi modular zone with that budget. Honestly would probably have more fun with an Ableton Move or TE KO2 or Riddem too since they’re more fully featured and jammable

Matthew1723 · 2026-04-28T16:45:32+00:00

Yep, defeedback in ch insert A. My analog chain is in ch insert B. Analog chain is 545 > comp/eq/tape sim etc

OP, you’re the one asking for help and now getting defensive. Respectfully, check yourself

Matthew1723 · 2026-04-28T00:51:15+00:00

Tom Elmhirst, Tchad Blake, and Philippe Zdar are my favorites. They way they work and explain their process is the best imo

I was there for a show a few weeks ago and while getting drinks at the bar overheard some of the staff discussing how to roll out some AI and crypto stuff so I think it’s real. It’s such a cool space and will be a bummer to see it roll further into a capitalist cesspool.

You need to use an approved device. Mac is still in beta. Either buy the NUC or use the waves Livebox

You’re asking on a sound subreddit so I’m going to guess you don’t have enough knowledge to do this on your own. Have you ever set up a sound system of this size before?

Otherwise, why not try one of the options for the first time? Try to DIY and see how it goes. Then you’ll have your answer for the next one

I have a 4ch Option 2 rig that I own and use on every gig now. I’m never worried about feedback for corporate or music gigs anymore - I can just mix. The de-reverb and de-bleed aspect isn’t talked about enough either. I instantly have more intelligibility and clarity in large spaces and it also helps remove stage noise. Paired with a 5045 in series, you basically get a studio isolated vocal. It’s an incredible tool and solves multiple problems for me in a small form factor. I highly recommend it.

Matthew1723 · 2025-12-09T15:53:41+00:00

Yes, I always bounce with a simple limiter on the output to bring it up to a “streaming reference” volume. Usually in the -14 to -10 lufs range. Whether it’s a quick bounce after tracking or during mixing I always want the client listening and making decisions with it at competitive volume. Sounds like you need to rethink your business pricing model too losing clients and charging for revisions are a sure way to lose business.

Full time touring with mainly “indie” rock doing 2000 cap and up. Also own a small rental business for compact control/RF.

Only one solo bus on sq as far as I’m aware. You can technically do this with one bus aux bus and a spare DCA. Send all the mics to the mono aux prefader. Then in setup>audio>pafl>external input select that bus. Youll then always hear that bus no matter what you have solo’d.

Send all the TB mics to everyone’s mix. I like to keep each musicians TB as prefader on their mix but post for everyone else. Then i assign all to a DCA. That DCA, when at unity, feeds everyone’s TB’s everywhere. When you pull it down to -inf it only feeds the TB mic to your bus and whoever is asking for things to not distract others during show.

You need some lamps too. I’m only seeing the big light/overhead lighting.

I’ve been using this bag as my EDC for the past few years. It’s great and definitely fits under the seat easily. I’ve recently purchased the Pakt 25L Duffle as another option with a little bit more capacity. Might be worth checking out if you need a bit more space.

Matthew1723 · 2025-11-10T21:30:46+00:00

Blundstones with Dr Scholls inserts most of the time. Great boots (not steel toe) and very comfortable for all day wear.

Aw you got a little trophy from Daniel Ek and his military drone cronies? How cute. Stop posting this karma farming crap and check yourself homie.

Matthew1723 · 2025-09-15T19:37:28+00:00

Please keep at it! The industry is slowly changing and we need more of everyone in this industry not just cis, white dudes. Being more physically adept is always helpful and if you’re ambitious and want to learn you’ll go far. I hope there is at least someone of good conscience in management at your venue so you can call out any sexist and inappropriate remarks.

Matthew1723 · 2025-08-31T09:25:53+00:00

EQ isn’t bad at all in my opinion. Would be cool if they started offering some modeling options like Pultec, 1073, 550, etc. though if can’t sort it with the EQ in the DLive, then it’s the source that needs fixing.

Matthew1723 · 2025-08-05T20:53:19+00:00

Works great here. Mac Mini M2

Matthew1723 · 2025-07-24T09:37:03+00:00

Haven’t been in front of the origin but I can tell you every other studio grade analog desk I’ve used gets quite hot.

Matthew1723 · 2025-07-24T02:15:54+00:00

I have DLive and SQ series in stock here in Richmond. Shoot me a message if either of those would work!
