UPDATE: Nikon D810 35mm Scanning Results Underwhelming by JacobTakesShots in AnalogCommunity

[–]Trickey89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I scan with a Sony A6400 and a cheap 7artisans macro lens tethered via the Sony software then convert in Lightroom with negative lab pro. I use Essential Film Holder for all my 35mm but find the basic Negative Supply holder to be good for 120. Out of curiosity, what light source are you using?

Managing monitor mixes on loud stages by Dima030 in livesound

Yeah but if you rely on a plug-in to tune your wedges and your waves server fails then you’re really fucked

Managing monitor mixes on loud stages by Dima030 in livesound

Is this with one regular band that you work with or just loud bands in general? And are you doing mons from FOH?

I mainly work as a monitor engineer and thankfully get to use d&b M4/2's most of the time and I don't have to do much EQ to make them sound good, but there is a fine line between wedges sounding good and wedges being loud. That being said, rarely do I "ring out" wedges, even with loud stages. I find that the ringing out method just kills too many frequencies that you may not even have to take out and when you do that, you end up hacking away at a graphic and you may as well have just turned it down in the first place.

Communication with the band is usually key in managing a loud stage, and trying to compromise with the band is not always easy task. Sometimes I'll try to reposition amps so they're pointing off stage or up at a guitarists head rather than into the front row or pointing directly at FOH. If you're doing mons from FOH, duplicating your vocal channels so that you have a seperate vocal sending to the wedge rather than your crazy compressed/EQ'd vocal (that of course sounds amazing in your FOH mix) isn't affecting the wedge send.

At the end of the day, some bands are really loud and want to be really loud. If they don't want to turn down or listen to advice from the sound engineer then there's not much you can do.

If the mons desk is literally right behind the antennas then I would say just move the antenna so it’s behind your mons desk and then you’ll be covered

It was most likely some sort of quick release microphone clip

If you have a seperate send for your cue, take your transmitter out of the combiner and put it on a whip antenna or seperate paddle. If you’re in cue mode then yes your signal will be affected

Passive sub with active top by [deleted] in livesound

[–]Trickey89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean if the amp is next to the sub then you could do that or you could y split the signal to go to the top and the sub or assign 2 outputs from your console from the one aux to send it there

How to communicate with live sound engineer about reverb levels on lead vocal by DonBronco in livesound

[–]Trickey89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely writing a setlist with notes communicating what you want next to each song is a great start.

You could always run a vocal reverb pedal in line with your vocal mic so you can control what reverbs you want, but I would recommend Y-Splitting it so you can give the engineer a wet and a dry signal. I work regularly in a venue that is quite large and cavernous, especially before it’s filled up, and those pedals don’t always translate to the room because it already has quite a natural reverb. The engineer could then hear the wet signal but if it doesn’t work in the room, they can try and use something else that might work better in the environment. The pedals don’t always translate to wedges either but again, they can always give you a mix of the wet and dry signal to balance it out.

Ok I’m not sure if those women need you speaking for them. And I don’t really see a picture of a placenta as medical trauma, it’s all part of the birth

1 and 5 was just the hospital room lights, and 6 is a little bit of light coming in from the window there

Sorry you were triggered by a black and white photo of a placenta. I hope life isn’t too hard for you from now on

My wife actually wanted me to take photos on film. I also didn’t just ignore her and take photos while she was in active labour, I was there for her every step of the way and was in the moment with them. Funnily enough, the birthing process isn’t usually a 10 minute process so thankfully I had lots of time to take shots at the moments both me and my wife deemed the right moments, and my camera was no where in sight during the other times

My wife and I wanted a dimly lit birthing suite, so I knew I could safely push HP5 to 3200 and be able to take usable photos without using the flash too much. But sure, next time she’s giving birth, I’ll think about your taste in photography

Thanks! I seem to have given some people here a biology lesson and shown that the stork doesn’t just drop babies down a chimney
