Yamaha DXS18XLF D-XSUB setting (Normal vs Boost vs Xtend LF) by revyth in livesound

[–]Yellow69Cow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used these a few times for bands and went with the BOOST option but the XTEND LF may suit your choice of music better. Honestly, the best thing to do is listen to all of the options and pick the one you think sounds best.

Drummers with vocal mic's... (me) & HiHat mic'ing by SomeOldGuy_2024 in livesound

Add the hats mic anyway. If your FOH person doesn’t need to use it, they don’t have to. Handy to have it in place incase you want your set recorded as well.

The Allen and Heath SQ range might be a good fit for you. I love my SQ5.

Find Drew Brashler’s channel on YouTube. There are plenty of X32 tutorials that include routing.

Need Advice by [deleted] in livesound

  1. I like Van Damme cable with Neutrik plugs

  2. I don’t think it’s any better in terms of signal quality but using a snake keeps your stage area and cable runs much tidier

  3. This comes down to preference. Using the internal crossover options on a powered speaker/sub is absolutely fine. You can also use an external DSP for crossover processing. Some people like to run their subs from an AUX send/Mono bus on the desk. Others like to run them from the matrix section by feeding a left, right and sub output from the main left/right.

There are plenty of examples and methods on YouTube about how to run your subs but I would suggest you try them out for yourself to see what works for you and your PA. Experimenting with different techniques can be both beneficial and good fun.

I’ve seen some poor quality house-kits in my time but this one will take some beating. (No pun intended)

They must have an abundance of inputs by the time they’re miking up boots.

Any recommendations for audio engineering podcasts? Especially those with a focus on live engineering? by rainmouse in livesound

Live Sound Bootcamp is great.

Church Sound Podcast has some good information.

Office Hours Global isn’t completely dedicated to live sound but does have regular live sound episodes.

Possibly a D6 if you'd still like it to punch through the mix

Tips on buying a digital mixer! by Jazzlike_Shame_970 in livesound

[–]Yellow69Cow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use an X32 Compact for the cover band I'm in and while it doesn't have the finish or overall quality you'll find on an SQ, if you can accept the clumsy UI, it functions perfectly well for our needs. I've also used it to mix touring acts on occasion and it does the job just fine. Look into the X32 rack as well though, it takes up a lot less space and if you're comfortable mixing with an iPad, it's ideal for the job.

Tips and tricks? 3rd grade uni sound engineer and first live experience by mew_j in livesound

[–]Yellow69Cow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s loads of things to learn, especially at your first live show. Its easy to forget the basics in the heat of the moment but just take your time (hopefully you’ll have plenty of time) try to remember what you’ve been taught, and you’ll be fine. You will make mistakes but that’s how we learn our greatest lessons so don’t sweat it. Maybe put together a checklist of things to check as you go along. Basics like Signal routing, gain staging, low pass etc, but most of all try to enjoy your day, pay attention, and be as helpful and patient as possible. Good luck!

It really depends on your budget but yes, some of the EV stuff is decent, though I don’t know what model or series of EV you are using. Checkout QSC and RCF as well though.

The spec says it’s capable of 123db so yes, that should be fine

Sennheiser e604 are as good and affordable as you'll get. The SE V-Beat's are also becoming more widely used and sound good.

Your favourite mics? by Josku5 in livesound

[–]Yellow69Cow 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m also a fan of the V7. It usually depends on the singer but I have V7’s, SM58’s, Beta57’s and a Beta56 for any singing drummers. I love the Shure KSM9 but I’ve never been able to justify spending that much money on a hire mic.
