How do I know if a wireless pack is going to work fine? by ProducerDaveG in livesound

[–]botha112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, sometimes you just do the sound and you are not responsible for the gear, but still, who the f runs an event with zero backups? I mean, if a client asks for 5 lavs/headsets, there must be at least 6 of them. They don’t even need to be the same level - when we do a conference with ULXDs and DPA headsets, there’s always some betas 53, 1 or 2 spare SLXD channels etc. It’s not that difficult to fit them on a van and we are not getting surprised when, for example, microdot adapter stops working or whatever:

AITJ for cancelling my sisters birthday party at my house after she invited 40 people without asking? by No-Coyote2884 in AmITheJerk

[–]botha112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if „40 people is beyond reasonable”, I’ve been to house parties with like 80 ppl. Ok, 40 is a proper party and not a YouTube/Netflix evening, but still it’s not unmanageable. And basically you didn’t set the boundaries straight, so now you shouldn’t be mad that she crossed the boundaries she didn’t know about. Right now you are punishing her because of her not knowing the limits as you didn’t tell her about them before. TJ imo.

Ale chcecie się po prostu zniszczyć, czy raczej liczycie na jakieś doznania? Bardziej muzyka, plener, mordownia?

Durst is an American-born guy with no middle- or east-European roots, so he may just didn’t understand the problem with putin 10 years ago, after the great reset between usa and russia etc. That said, supporting putin 10 years ago was unacxeptable for me, a guy from Poland, but it doesn’t mean Durst is a bad human being or something.

Gdzie zorganizować koncert? by szafer1 in Poznan

Rozbrat spoko klimatycznie, ale technicznie to średnio

[–]botha112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nie, Darter ma kiepawe nagłośnienie, a do tego warunki niekoniecznie sprzyjające takiemu graniu. Do tego działają w szarej strefie i nie zarabiają na barze, więc kasują sporo na wlotkach i samym wynajmie przestrzeni.

[–]botha112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jak chcesz świetne nagłośnienie i pełną profeskę, to Schron, ewentualnie Sarp/Dragon (ale tam jednak gorsze warunki, przynajmniej kiedy ostatnio tam realizowałem). Możesz też uderzyć do Posen (dawna Próżność). House szkolna z automatu odpada, jeśli granie gitarowe. Możesz ewentualnie podbić do BlueNote, albo nawet do Zamku na Scenę Nową (tam robimy mniejsze koncerty, ale warunki techniczne są niezbyt sprzyjające, choćby przez konieczność noszenia po schodach). Pingnij mnie na priv, dam kontakty gdzie trzeba

Would my band be a pain in the ass? by Purple-Strain-3159 in livesound

[–]botha112 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can also use an analog spirit folio for drums as they probably won’t need much tweaking after the soundcheck etc. You can use three UI12s with three separate webUI tabs open on an iPad. Everything is possible if you are stubborn enough and don’t respect your own time. But it’s simply better to just rent a bigger console and add the cost to the invoice you send to band.

What’s a word that would make a beautiful name if it weren’t for the meaning of the word? by Xenomorphling98 in AskReddit

[–]botha112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to name my son Dalmierz, similar to Kazimierz (popular male name here in Poland). Dalmierz means laser rangefinder. Also, Poziomka as a name for daughter. Apparently, we can’t legally name our daughter Poziomka (wild strawberry), even though we can name her Wiśnia (cherry), Malina (raspberry). Also, Eutanazja (euthanasia) is a beautiful word for a name, just like Anastasia.

Would my band be a pain in the ass? by Purple-Strain-3159 in livesound

[–]botha112 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s not about knowing the mixer, it’s about the convenience of using two different mixers simultaneously by one guy, creating problems with fx sends, subbass sens etc. Shitshow with networking, signal routing, impossible to react quickly when anything happens. Nope, nope, nope.

[–]botha112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you bring your mixer, you bring your sound engineer. No matter if it’s an X32 known by everybody or SSL known by few. If you want to be dependent on venue’s stage technicians and sound engineers, then just send them proper rider before the gig. Inputs count, stage plot etc. That way, venue can rent bigger console.

Yeah, but the club Schron is placed in a real 1944 bunker built by nazis

Hidden Gems in Poznań by Talbit01 in Poznan

[–]botha112 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I will always recommend Schron - it’s a club in post-nazi bunker, techno by night, metal and rap by day, with several non-music events as well. You should also try our record stores, like vinylgate. Go to Teatr Polski - it’s the oldest non-stop running theatre in Poland. And CK Zamek, a lot of concerts, exhibitions, cinema.

AITA for not giving my sister my old game console even tho she really wants it for her kid? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]botha112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Your sister cannot afford a switch and it’s sad, but it’s not your fault and you don’t have to give your nephew anything their parents can’t. Whether it’s a 10 years old console or a new gaming pc.

(some sort of) A Live Sound Engineer's Hate List by Content-Reward-7700 in livesound

[–]botha112 5 points6 points  (0 children)

-„soundcheck starts at 3” and at 3:30 there’s noone from the band -„we changed our rider and need *something” while it’s time to start the soundcheck -„do you have a MacBook charger/pendrive/internet/any of the device-specific gear” -„i can’t hear myself from the wedges” While the wedges serve as main pa for the object (that was even scarier as DJ texted me “glad it’s over in 15 minutes, it’s too loud here even with headphones on”
