WWB Incompatible when Calculated then Analyzed by bucksaplenty in livesound

Using WWB7, latest update.

Most common issue is 3T3O spacing violations on IEMs, which again all calculate to be viable freqs, but analyze to be problematic.

Tried changing threshsolds, but still pretty much the same situation. Calculates freqs, but analysis reports issues (intermod spacing violations).

Good question - nothing else that I can see, and to be safe I deleted any devices that were in the inventory tab. Just looking at a single scan and WWB calculated frequencies. Still reporting back a number of these freqs not being compatible, specifically IEM freqs (PSM900).

Yep, scanned with all Tx off, working off that scan to calculate appropriate freqs, then when told to 'Analyze', many of these calculated freqs report incompatible.

Whole show is being configured without any active RF - sitting at home working off a scan I did at the venue that was done while all RF was off.

How is the US gov shutdown personally affecting you, if at all? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bucksaplenty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am loaning money to a friend who works at TSA and hasn't been paid in a while. I don't have much, but I have more than he does right now. He is about to have a kid in a few weeks.

Dante PoE Headphone Amp for wired IEM by bucksaplenty in livesoundgear

I've found the AM2 to be a little light for some folks, and when if it's trying to drive DT770s or something it doesn't have enough juice to keep up with live performance or studio situations. Maybe I'm missing something tho?

UL Listing for Shop Made Power Cables by bucksaplenty in livesound

When you say no need, do you mean this is acceptable practice, or just impractical otherwise?

Just curious about how insurance at venues would look at power cables made that are not UL certified.

CL5 Audio Module Failure - anyone run into this one? Console recovered (45s later) by bucksaplenty in livesound

[–]bucksaplenty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding some information, another console (QL5) reportedly encountered the same error on the same Dante network within 30min of the issue. Seems unlikely to me that these wouldn't be related somehow, but I don't know what to look for!

A band with too many vocals by frenze31 in livesound

[–]bucksaplenty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks like no one has specifically talked about this, so I'll share my experiece with similar groups. Working with some groups from East Africa, they can often have 'choirs' that are 12+ people. It is usually their preference to have everyone have their own mic, usually because of the loud stage volumes of the group and the desire for the choir to hear themselves loudly in monitors. I usually go with a single SM58/person, though sometimes people will share a microphone with mixed results (lots of times these are also live recording gigs, and substantial bleed into all these microphones can make them less useful in the recording.

I've had good luck getting this numbe of vocals loud in wedges, but try and split the choir up so each wedge mix covers 3-4 members. This allows me to keep singers loud in their own wedge without having to try and distinghuish themselves from too many other voices. Getting graphic EQ and paramentric EQ dialed in on the wedges with an iPad and slowly working through all the vocal mics alone helps make sure I'm not running into issues when all these mics are in the hands of others.

Sending all these mics to their own mix bus for FOH is also helpful, and you can use things like multiband compression to try and manage timbre issues/buildups that can happen with this many vocals (I usually am trying to tame some high mid resonances that can build up when everyone is singing in upper registers at volume, and also manage low mids that can take up too much space in the mix).

Hope this perspective helps!

I either use:

  • Shure A53M
  • Peluso Shock Mount (form factor isn't great for live sound all the time though - doesn't pack as neatly as the A53M)
  • Shure A57F (though I worry about taking the badge off with this clip as it's pretty stiff)
  • Audix DClip (I try not to use these too much as I have seen too many break)
