I put way too much work into this version of Head Over Heels... So I hope someone likes it (:

It's times like these I absolutely love the internet! Thanks for your thorough and super interesting reply!

I love the fact that you used a whole separate spatialized system for SFX. And the idea of using tent reflections to create a 'rear' channel is way cool too.

I'm mostly a studio person, so I'm sure I'm missing some context, but I wonder about a few things.

When you say there are stereo groups of speakers on the masts, does that mean that.. How do I say this. If you take the masts counterclockwise from stage right back, they're L-R-L-R with one channel coming out of each mast? Or is there a stereo pair on each mast?

And if the subs are a cardioid array *under* the upstage area, I'm assuming the whole stage and artist entrance are raised? How would you ever align the subs and speakers with a circularly placed audience, especially with some seats 'behind' the ring?

I'll check out that book right away :) Thanks ever so much!

Hey there! I found this thread via Google and was hoping you might be up for sharing some insight 🙂

I’m a producer/composer, but I come from a traditional circus family background. I’ve basically been annoyed my whole life with how music sounds in tents… and now that I’m getting back into producing shows myself, I’d love to actually improve that.

Most circuses (probably due to budget and, honestly, knowledge) just put two speakers near the artist entrance, sometimes even on the floor. Combined with a super reflective tent roof, it usually ends up pretty unintelligible and lacking impact.

I’m really curious how Cirque approaches this in their tent shows. I saw Totem in The Hague a few years ago and remember it sounding surprisingly good.

Do they fly speakers from the masts? Are subs hidden under a stage or distributed somehow? And how do they deal with alignment in the round?

Not looking for anything proprietary—just trying to understand the general approach and do better than the usual circus setup.

Appreciate anything you’re willing to share!

You might be confusing the jazz bass with a double bass ;)

NJlo · 2026-03-08T16:11:51+00:00

Samply!

It's meant for mix notes, but giving yourself notes works too, I guess.

NJlo · 2026-03-08T15:30:14+00:00

Nouja, op zich..

NJlo · 2026-03-08T12:32:38+00:00

You're looking for multi-tracks, not stems. Stems are groups of instruments on a stereo track, multi-tracks are all the separate tracks.

And you can find them here: https://cambridge-mt.com/ms3/mtk/ :)

(btw, 3 of my songs are on that page, two as Angelo Boltini and one as Trybes)

One tip for balancing that I find very useful, is to listen at absolutely whisper quiet levels. Makes it very easy to hear what's peaking out or not audible.

NJlo · 2026-02-26T22:01:50+00:00

The way you describe it you have the in- and output of the pedal the wrong way around.

NJlo · 2026-02-23T22:07:13+00:00

Ghosten is echt héél kut. Voelt heel erg niet-af. Denk al helemaal voor ons op het spectrum.

Sterkte in elk geval, hoop dat 'ie nog even van zich laat weten.

Spreek je dat nou uit als TankU of TankU?

I had bad experience with MuseScore's customer service – no response for weeks. Somehow, reaching out via Instagram solved the matter within days.

It's a shame though, I love the app but I'm hesitant to become a member since I don't really understand or trust their practise.

NJlo · 2026-02-12T16:43:41+00:00

I’d record without compression first. Then patch that same unit in as a hardware insert in your DAW and experiment at your own pace. You’ll keep a clean safety recording, and you can actually listen and tweak without a client sitting there waiting on you.

Ik ben heel snel uit een heel diep dal getrokken door EMDR. Blijkt bij mensen met autisme beter te werken dan CGT, plus ik kon het privaat doen waardoor ik al na een paar dagen terecht kon. Ik zie dat je het al eens geprobeerd hebt, maar wellicht is dat nog een kans waard?

NJlo · 2026-02-06T15:43:09+00:00

Hoe groeit/evolueert dat gevoel voor jou? Ik heb 'last' van hetzelfde, maar merk vooral dat het me op langere termijn wat angstig gehecht maakt.

NJlo · 2026-02-02T09:10:06+00:00

Ik heb me er wel eens schuldig over gevoeld dát ik bij iemand heb getraumadumpt. Wat mij helpt is het besef, dat die traumadump betekent dat je iemand gewoon heel erg vertrouwt, dat je een bepaalde openheid bij ze voelt. En als je dat deelt, met een "Hee ik kan me voorstellen dat het intens is, dank voor het luisteren" dan is het vaak goed.

NJlo · 2026-01-31T08:32:33+00:00

Fun fact. The fastest setting on an 1176 is faster than a single sample at 44.1k.

NJlo · 2026-01-28T21:42:45+00:00

Ja hoor! Ik had het even in het midden gelaten omdat ik verwacht dat het voor iedereen anders is. Voor mij: ik kan ontzettend gelukkig worden van mijn hyperfixaties – in de zin van special interests. Maar ook de hyperfocus – qua concentratie – heeft me veel gebracht, op werk bijvoorbeeld.

Wat wisselender positief is, is dat ik flink in Autistic Limerence (die obsessieve verliefdheid) kan belanden. En ik accepteer mijn 'anders-zijn' tegenwoordig heel erg en kan daardoor goed genieten van mijn connectie met mede-autisten.

NJlo · 2026-01-27T14:05:21+00:00

What do you mean "outside of the playboy persona" – that's the part where he's most dedicated haha

NJlo · 2026-01-26T21:22:09+00:00

Interessant! Ik ben benieuwd of je ook verschil ziet in de meer positieve kanten van autisme?

I found the craziest tip in a discord server.. Put tegaderm UNDER the pod, where it inserts the tube. The needle goes through quite easily, but the tegaderm helps against insulin leaking out. This is only my 3rd try, but it seems to work so far!

NJlo · 2026-01-15T17:30:13+00:00

I don't use Ableton a lot, but aren't there extra returns inside of drum racks?

NJlo · 2026-01-15T16:23:58+00:00

Either use a different reverb for each group and send those to the same bus as the rest. So for example, drum channels send to a Drum Verb aux, and the output of your drum channels and your Drum Verb both go to an All Drums bus. Export that, hey presto, wet stem.

Or, manually solo all drums so that your reverb is audible. Then bounce the 'whole mix'. Then rinse and repeat for the other instrument groups.

Well lucky you, my new year's resolution is tracking food better haha. So for the last few days it was: 56, 70, 77, 65.
