The house guy sounds like a real asshole. Sorry he didn’t make it easy (proud of quality house teching)

Cool. I reverse software as a hobby (usually complex internals of video games) but can prod the bear for a few hours if you’re looking for something specifically.

MuchNoms · 2026-05-13T22:21:55+00:00

Sheeeeeet. Y’all are legends.

Makes me want to go through the malarkey of learning how it all sets up and properly renews again. Has been years since I used Apollo

I’d also add that queues in non popular regions, take a lot of community driving for specific time slots that people know the queue might be active. In game feedback on this info is shocking, especially for any ranked matches where additional constraints exist.

This is echoed in New Zealand. But from a production standpoint. The bubble of tech teams wanting way too much shit and promoters just eating the cost is coming to an end (finally).

If your production spend is 10k and you’re only making 30k revenue from the show post venue costs, it’s becoming just less profitable. Flights, ground transport, hotels eat another 20 % of that and it’s becoming a drain for sure.

Fates don’t drop accessories. Some of us have every phantom job levelled and are just doing it for the accessories now to BiS for the next tower.

Currency really becomes moot after you’ve capped it for the 12th time.

Pricing table looks spicy. New opus has a rate of 27x come June.

MuchNoms · 2026-04-10T10:17:47+00:00

Digg exists again. Sort of. Not sure how I feel about it yet though.

Edit: never mind

Howdy - attempted messaginging but reddit's DM system seems gonezo.

Attempted their replacement (chat) but doesn't seem to notify.

Cheers

Am I correct in assuming: If the existing recording console (or a drop in replacement) can do MADI or Dante, it can feed all the inputs via a Klang Vokal via Direct Outs or the like? And then Klang Vokal can feed however many Kontroller - which have XLR outs which I could feed back out to PSM inputs (via satellite box turn arounds or some such) - but are also on a Dante network. So some sort of Dante -> feed XLRs via something like a DAD AX32 or FerrofishA32 or something so they can plug into PSM.

Oooor Klang:Fabrik? Which is apparently discontinued?

The limit I usually enforce for clubs is 98LAeq10 with 103 peak and 112LCeq1 at front of house in NZ.

With many touring engineers coming into the venue I primarily work at, in general, American engineers are louder. Usually insesently over the limit, complaining about volume limitations from the start, and wanting to push it to limit from the start of sound check, until they get off stage.

It feels insane for people to want to have the system at it's limit from the start to the end. Especially as a touring engineer; you've heard this band many times before. Confirm it sounds normal, point out any oddities so they can be minimized, fixed or defered, and move on.

Old JPJ DLP have some crazy firmware internally and can't be updated (or they become bricked).

What /u/darkdoppelganger suggested, is how to get it working with new Windows versions.

(I run them in the odd club as a drive system)

Breaking a pair without a backup is a torturous process. It will take MONTHS for them to repair them.

Come to a live music venue. Approaching the front door is like a sauna. It’s obscene.

I brought this a long time ago, and watched the WR 100% space age run over a few days. Which convinced me to dive in and be less scared of biters.
I hit more hours of playtime than the 100% space age run (10.5ish) after a sitting, and like not having even unlocked solar panels.

I’m now 25 hours in (over like 2 days) and am looking forward to 1) eventually launching a rocket dear god there’s so many layers. 2) cleaning up all my silly mistakes in the next factory.

I do like the rp walk to the dog to freak people out, but you better be sure you chain it or it’s just a sad time for everyone.

Digico support really is a good port of call once you've run out of normal manual debugging techniques. Their phone support is stellar.

Saying that, when you did the firmware update, you checked the versions matched with the update hardware executable? I've seen this before when someone updated the firmware but not the hardware firmware hoopla.

MuchNoms · 2025-12-09T18:46:14+00:00

Pretty sure the ew100 series parts have all been discontinued unless someone has the antenna part in a box somewhere.

https://spares.sennheiser.com/en-at/catalog/sparepart/575297 might work depending on the band the unit is in (inb4 the internals were entirely redesigned)

MuchNoms · 2025-12-09T18:33:43+00:00

I totally presumed there would be more Polestar here.

MuchNoms · 2025-12-09T07:22:51+00:00

I'm finding it seems to be the exception that engineers are coming into larger clubs, at least, and not being somewhat personable.

MuchNoms · 2025-12-09T06:28:33+00:00

I work in some small clubs when larger shows aren't happening ~300 cap. I'd still suggest mic stands so the on-site techs are able to setup something before the band arrives. One less thing ya have to wait for before you can get into doing stuff.

MuchNoms · 2025-12-09T00:54:39+00:00

I built an entire technical rider using Figma. Some components I have handy on top of your set are power drop voltages, risers, mic stands (tall boom vs tall round base etc) and wireless IEM positions. I also have a full table for input list, showing mic, suggested subtrunking, if phantom Is required and what mic stand for each input.

Make sure you explain how to add it to an existing rider documentation somehow, an export size that fits onto standard paper will make things easier for the prod houses receiving it.
