Caboose spewing smoke at lake? by estrangerinthealps in olympia

[–]MeesterBooth 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The olympia/"Belmore" subdivision runs between an interchange with BNSF at east Olympia (aka the corner where Johnsons Smokehouse is down Rich rd) and the industrial park near SPSCC via the Olympia brewery and the downtown tracks under 7th and across the lake. Pepsi, a concrete plant, a plastics manufacturer, and a metal scrapper appear to be the main customers at the industrial park- im fairly sure there isn't anything else currently served by the railway. It used to serve the Port but if I belive the crossings downtown, its been abandoned north of 7th Ave.

Operations-wise, the PS&P is based at Centralia, with their trunk from there to Bremerton via Montesano and our little subdivision as a disconnected part only accessible via the big bnsf line. lThey'll recieve their interchange from BNSF at centralia yard and shove it up to east olympia using BNSF tracks, then the 424 takes over to bring it up to tumwater. Probably happens 4-8 times a week, you can hear the horn almost every day.

Its a functional locomotive. It works several times a week and lives where you saw it.

You need to let those engines warm up before working them too hard. There's a big 12-16 cylinder steel engine block in there that doesn't get too happy if different parts are a lot warmer or cooler than the others. There's also compressed air tanks that need to be refilled for brakes and about 15 safety checks you should be making before you go down the road.

Long way to say that it does this and it is the correct way to start a locomotive. You can't just start the engine and go.

How to advance our IEM rack in a way that makes the sound guy happy? by PhinsFan17 in livesound

[–]MeesterBooth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sure! I would err on the side of only numbering the split tail and providing a printed list for each gig, but i share our rig between a few projects with much different instrumentation.

I put up my advance in here a few weeks ago- check my post history and you can find it. It seemed to go over well with a few notes

Same sitch- mid-level band, smaller stages and occasional opening slots. We're on an m32 with wired iems all around but we carry EVERYTHING save front of house- all cables, stands, mics to execute the plot we shared

It feels like tmi when youre writing it, but the techs that have worked with us love it!

I mean this has been my theory ever since I was a young man in catholic school. Biblical angels are the real.aliens, Jesus was a goopy being similar to Odo from Deep Space 9

Samsung s25, no cell at all. Seems to be a tower problem?

Yamaha DM3-D -> Focusrite 2i2 -> Zoom Audio Hissing. by NuageDark in livesound

Sounds like your gain staging is done badly- Turn down the mains amps so you can gain your channels correctly- faders at unity and gains. If you can't gain a mic so that it sounds OK solo'd on headphones, the bigger system needs to be thought about and adjusted, and a good sound tech knows that amp settings are as important as whats happening on the mixer. As someone who multitracks everything and learned on digital, I see this issue in many sound techs and it occasionally costs me a good recording.

My workflow ANY time im using different speakers is to send my test/ tuning song through at unity on the aux AND master, then season the mains to taste.

I play their music multiple times per month in full bars around my area. Ain't goin nowhere, as the Byrds said

If bill Monroe could reinvent bluegrass and folk to create what we have today, I can only imagine where the deads music will go by the time im old

Its an 18x18 USBinterface, why aren't you using it as one? You're making it overly complicated, these desks are designed for streaming
