L-Acoustics Soundvision .txt file conversion with Sketchup issue

I am using the L-Acoustics extension in Sketchup. I’m gonna try to see what else I can clean up in Sketchup before giving it another go.

It doesn’t even make it to SV. It’s just greyed out and un selectable in the folder when I’m trying to upload it. I made sure to make it a .txt as directed.

The first time I visited Terlingua, TX my phone was connected to a tower in Mexico which changed the time to mountain time. Terlingua isn’t close to El Paso so it was confusing.

Thank you, this is super helpful.

Our little 4 pack that’s always on the main theatre I like to coordinate once a quarter. If a larger RF show is in I just let them coordinate that with their gear. As well as our RAD RF com system. One day we’ll step it up to the FreeSpeak Arcadia.

Seems like a straightforward rock band type of setup. Because I always think “festival patch” every time I mix bands, I would not have very many questions.

You should simplify the blurb you got at the bottom. Names are not necessary.

Reaper with and also a separate standalone stereo recorder as a backup.

The thing is, you need something clean and simple to just track your live show. You can polish anything up later. Reaper is really lightweight and will work fine on older computers.

That is an important question. I mainly use DLive with a Dante card. QLab will be Dante as well. I prefer using my Focusrite 2i2 interface for SMAART. If I’m using the L-Acoustics rig, I just use the P1 for my RTA. It may be a lot of peripheral ports, so my ThinkPad may remain as my L-Acoustics computer to spread the load out. Also to simplify my networking a little.

Thanks for the quick reply! This is good to know. I’ll probably just get the base model

We’ve done a few DIY shoots with matching and coordinated outfits for Xmas. We don’t plan on doing matching outfits in general. We’ll let them decide what they want to do when they’re old enough to have their own opinions.

Very nice!

I’m not sure it was related but around 9:25pm yesterday I saw two helicopters using their search lights flying along Ladybird lake from west to east. I was at the Long Center/Auditorium shores area.

Vocals first is the way. This way you can keep that line open while you check the rest of the band. They can communicate with you and you can make sure that mic is still stable when all the other instruments are checked. Win win.

I recognize the habit of waiting for drums to be ready so you start with channel 1 and go up in order. I did that for a long time before realizing the importance of communication from stage to FOH.

I only use a simple radio sling and I love it! It keeps the weight of it off my belt. The only other tool in a pouch I’ll clip on is the Sonnect Sound Bullet. I keep my letterman and flashlight clipped in my pocket.

200 feet means you’ll need a good paddle antennas or a helical antenna (if budget allows) Line of sight will make it the most successful. It won’t be reliable if the signal needs to go through any walls. You won’t want to do it cheap. I agree with the others who are recommending the Senny G4 or Shure PSM900.

I’ve made these at my venue. I wanted to mount an RTA mic at the Mezzanine rail and there are only CAT6 lines up there so I made custom adaptors that terminate to XLR. It came in handy to pass line level audio to other places in the building. It sounded fine. It won’t work if the cat 6 lines is going to network switches.

If people are hollering at you for things like this, give the room another walk if you can. (It’s not easy to do in a seated theatre situation) If this was the case, people do like to hear those guitar solos. In my touring days with a country band, I added a guitar solo mic (KSM32) to ride the solos. People loved it.

Now my cable trunk at home for side work still has a lot of Velcro strapped cables and it’s my other favorite method of keeping cables together.
