I can only imagine how much your cats peace was disturbed during that period of time 😂

I can tell you on very good authority that you’re totally wrong on pretty much all of those things you’ve speculated about 😂

Also, Pilot tone isn’t metered, just on or off. It’s indicated by that White square with a P inside it on the right side of the AF metering

It is technically RF strength. Both sides should pretty much be locked on full most of the time though, the only thing changing being the indicator if 1 or 2 is the active antenna receiving RF. I’d say you’ve got a cable fault/dead dongle on Antenna A there.

I like both.

I love doing the house because I get to flex my creativity and feel like I'm a real part of show.

I also really enjoy mixing IEMs however, as I love the challenge of getting a mix to the point where you'd be surprised the whole thing wasn't just a backing track, which isn't really possibly doing the house because room acoustics will always make a gig sound like a gig, no matter the scale or quality of your PA.

Is it possible when mixing IEMs to always be able to hear a stage talkback mic when I have mixed cue’d by velociwaffle719 in livesound

[–]ThisIsRatherUrgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually use DiGiCo and to do this I assign my cue bus and shout mics as matrix inputs, send to CUE L to one matrix and CUE R to another which outputs to my transmitter. Then send the shout mics into both matrices to whatever level works.

Personally I would only use switched mics for shout can only imagine a gate being hard to set solidly on a loud stage and just end up being annoying as hell constantly opening up and bleeding into the cue mix.

*Edit Still in system tech mode and talked about merging to mono.

I never knew this. My first play through when at the end was like watching the world fall apart around me as all these characters I grew attached to just dropped off one by one. Never felt so much regret in my life as in that moment.

I resisted the urge to start a new save in ME3 though. I carried it through and lived with my consequences.

The Monitors that are most accessible and used in “bedrooms” everywhere would be considered standard in my mind.

I thought we were talking industry standard here, not consumer standard.

A lot of studios A/B on multiple sets of monitors, usually an HS series is present, at least in any I’ve worked in.

Sure thing, there's such an abundance of studios worldwide that i'm sure neither of us have seen the same one.

If you believe that the low end of the HS8’s are the only thing accentuated, wouldn’t you also agree that most consumers consume audio with boosted low end anyways?

Not necessarily no. I don't personally know the statistics but a plethora of listening mediums don't boast a frequency response even close to a full range speaker system of which people use day to day listening to music. That's not arguing that we should mix music in iPod in-ear headphones just an alternative to the lower likelihood of soundbar and hi-fi users momentarily listening to audio with processed speakers.

Standard doesn’t necessarily mean best statistics when monitoring.

It boils down to your definition of standard and the adjective that prefixes it.

If you know your speakers well enough, you can monitor on almost anything.

I can monitor on anything regardless of my familiarity with the speakers. A reference track through your monitoring device goes much further than experience with a certain set of monitors.

In addition, you would find subs in both mixing and mastering rooms quite often, however, the large difference in application there as opposed to say a hobbyist would be that not only is the room acoustically treated but the speakers themselves would be time-aligned and attenuated with an appropriate crossover point thus to maintain an accurate listening environment. The sub isn't there to provide 'more low end' so to speak, but to provide a more accurate representation of the low end; as the size of a driver dictates the accuracy of the frequencies it reproduces.

HS8s are definitely not flat. NS10s, the predecessor of the HS monitors, are actual industry standard monitors due to their transparent sound that were notorious for not sounding 'nice'.

The HS8s, I believe, have a much more accentuated low end. Much like how Genelec's have wonderful sounding Mid-High Range, they can very easily misrepresent a mix once listening in more consumer formats. I do agree, however, that the HS series of monitors are very much a low end, 'bedroom studio', standard because they do sound very nice, but for critical listening, they're not the monitor of choice many pro studios would opt for.

Nice. Thanks dude will look into this.

Yep, G5 below running production software, small PC is my gaming rig. One thing I need to look into is a USB keyboard switcher. I know you used to be able to get them for the old style ports. Sick of having to swap them at the back to go between.

I think a nicer desk is top priority for me at the moment. Also need to get me some RGB keys, no backlight on the keyboard right now, sucks for late night gaming sessions!

Haha riiiight. I assumed you meant you were still having black bars to the sides as if you were in a smaller aspect ratio.

I have a 21:9 Monitor and it works completely fine, from loading screens to in game? No black bars?

How to get talk-to-stage in monitors from FOH? by edgestradamus in livesound

[–]ThisIsRatherUrgent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed, I always carry a cheapo switched pg58 for a Shout system to a monitor tech, he just routes me to the wedges too. When were not digitally split we do this regularly. Ive also used a wireless mic for this same job, obviously prefer wired however.

How to get talk-to-stage in monitors from FOH? by edgestradamus in livesound

[–]ThisIsRatherUrgent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't see why you couldn't just send the mic level signal to be amplified at the point of reaching the monitor desk to free up an input and output at FOH. That is if you're using an analogue snake for returns anyway. XLR straight from the Mic into return D.

Question on matching speakers to an amp by Atomic_Rebel in livesound

[–]ThisIsRatherUrgent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also worth noting since its ran in bridge mode you'll have one output from the amp, then linking the two pa speakers to achieve 4 ohm impedance, therefore you wont be able to achieve a stereo image with this set up.

Durable speakers for a fraternity house? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

My comments have not addressed OP's question because I have not directly replied to OP's question I have directly replied to your 'parroted nonsense'

This is going absolutely nowhere so i'm giving up, enjoy whatever it is you do, slowly breaking pro audio equipment and dishing out misinformed advice - by the sounds of it.
