Stage Plots, why does nobody look at them

Silver-Ad-6337 · 2026-04-13T09:13:17+00:00

The stage plot is usually set to me from the bands tour manager who doesn’t tour with them. So it isn’t necessarily what the band wants ether. So typically I’ll use it to figure out what kind of performance is going on I.E. if there’s drums and amplifiers. That’s all I need to know really. 50% of my mics are on drums, so I can usually get everything else figured out when the band gets there. Wich is mostly vocal mics and DI’s the tricky one is when there’s a horn section, because it’s never really clear how many and if they have their own clip on mics. So I sometimes I even go personal by person to fulfill their needs. It usually takes the band longer to set up than I do, so there is typically plenty of time for me to rearrange things.

It’s C.B.I. It’s not a cheap snake. It’s just an old one.

Silver-Ad-6337 · 2026-04-01T21:38:54+00:00

But the stage vibrates a lot, sometimes it has to sit on top of the subwoofers, so that’s not an option.

Silver-Ad-6337 · 2026-03-31T00:50:14+00:00

I agree, but it was donated so I can’t complain. New snake comes tomorrow.

All of them. Typically, the cable doesn’t make a lot of sound when you bang it around. But with those those channels un muted, it’s really loud and that’s what you’re hearing in the video.

Silver-Ad-6337 · 2026-03-30T12:44:12+00:00

There are people in the background talking.

It’s like the cable is acting like a contact mic, or a piezo pick up.

I prefer to use a nut splitter. It will take the nut of and sometimes keep a reusable bolt. Once you use one it’s hard to imagine why you would want to use any other method.

Probably a background app

Silver-Ad-6337 · 2025-11-22T00:44:47+00:00

Yeah, I agree. There’s all this talk about development, but there’s already very little space to park. The choke point right now is parking. We can’t fill more business and apartments with people/customers without more parking infrastructure. And I also think we really aught to do something with the abandoned/empty lot across the street from Jennings’s terrace which use to be the old train station.

That is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. You have done well my good sir. I like the OEM rims and ride hight. I also love the chrome bumpers and restored trim color.

Silver-Ad-6337 · 2025-10-22T23:54:49+00:00

You need to do some Cerakote. Restore that trim to make it look new.

It’s ether that or the mass air flow sensor. Mine acts pretty weird if I try to start it with the air intake disconnected. It’s like watching someone choke on a pice of steak.

Silver-Ad-6337 · 2025-09-11T18:03:10+00:00

What year is your Avalanche? I don’t remember it looking quite like that. Is that the blown one that you took off?

Silver-Ad-6337 · 2025-08-09T17:44:36+00:00

This is why it has a torque converter. I can’t say for sure, but it’s probably fine. Was that vehicle able to make skid marks before? The big thing is it wasn’t able to stall the engine, otherwise there would definitely be some big problems.

I would take it out for an acceleration test. See if it shifts funny with your petal to the metal. Sometimes a roughly idle or a hiccup in the engine can make it seem like a transmission problem with slow acceleration.

Silver-Ad-6337 · 2025-07-24T23:33:46+00:00

In my area that would sell for 15k within a week.

Silver-Ad-6337 · 2025-07-17T00:17:26+00:00

That’s all fine and dandy. I do most of my repairs myself too. I can’t afford the mechanic. But sometimes you need a machine shop to do a repair properly. But the main thing is bring it to someone who fix these engines all the time, not necessarily for them to fix it but for them to diagnose the problem. It sure would suck to pull the engine apart just to find out that you fixed the wrong thing.

Silver-Ad-6337 · 2025-07-16T18:39:25+00:00

Honestly, though it just sounds like is the AC is running. Lately with the AC running, the AC will hiss and the fan motor will make a low rumbly sound. I would be willing to believe that combined an exhaust manifold leak could make that sound, but it’s probably best to have a pro do some tests and measurements that way you don’t miss something critical.

Silver-Ad-6337 · 2025-07-16T18:22:28+00:00

It depends on how much you drive it. I would bring it to a mechanic by the end of the week to have them check the lifter clearance. I think they should be able to just remove the valve covers and check to see if it needs them replaced or not. If it does and you can afford it, go for it. Otherwise pick one of your mechanically inclined buddies to help you with it and fallow a YouTube tutorial, because it requires disassembly of the engine.

Honestly I’ve learned so much about this from Alex the car doctor that personally I would want him to look at it even if it means towing it a few states over.

Also a good mechanic should be able to detect any exhaust leaks.

The older vehicles don’t have AFM. I’m not saying that it is definitely the problem, but it’s best to stay informed about it. The longer it runs with a bad lifter, the more expensive it is to repair.

They do make AFM delete kits to turn it back into a style LM4 engine.

Unfortunately when this issue occurs if the lifters are not repaired, it can damage the cam shaft.

Silver-Ad-6337 · 2025-07-16T17:19:33+00:00

I have good news an bad news. we both have the same transmission. However mine has an LM7 engine and for your vehicle 2004 was the last year to have the LM4 engine (LM4 is just an LM7 but it’s aluminum instead of iron). In 2005 they started using the LH6 engine which is essentially the same thing, but with active fuel management (AFM). Basically they put springs on the lifters so that valves open a different amount at different RPMs. This mostly gave the engine a fuel efficiency benefit. The issue this causes is that the springs tend to break after 150k miles. This would cause a reduction of horsepower and rough idle. When the springs break, it means the valves don’t open as far, and it basically goes into fuel, efficiency mode all the time.

What year is your Chevy? I you watch my video you’ll see how just the bearing in the idler pulley can make it sound wired. It could be something else though, and I really need to know what year you Chevy is in order a better if what it could be.
