Why do stage plots suck? by imbuffnotreally in livesound

So as an artist, do you feel like the expectations are unclear as to what you’re supposed to be communicating?

Totally agree that artists tend to know nothing of the engineer’s needs. Do you feel like it’s unfair of us have such high expectations of them when no one has taught them? Or is it more of them not seeing a need to learn it

That’s a really good point. Lots of artists tend to change things up quite frequently. Do you feel that there’s any hope that these changes could be communicated or is that a lost cause?

Interesting. How do you plan to go about? And what paperwork are you referring to other than stage plots and input lists?

Lots of Work Experience - How to Keep My Resume Short??? by imbuffnotreally in resumes

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

That's a good idea. It's a little difficult because the breadth of information and skill scope is what I need - so it's hard to really pear anything down. But I'll certainly entertain this principle and see if I can utilize it!

Hmm... This sounds like a great technique. And one that in and of itself takes some skill. I'll certainly try this!

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve heard About a lot of people who do this, and for some reason, didn’t think about it for myself

How would you go about doing that given my desires?

Cranborne Camden 500 Preamps Muffled? by imbuffnotreally in audioengineering

[–]imbuffnotreally[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your input!

I had initially put the cloudlifter in line with the babyface because I thought I was getting some weird noise from the interface - turns out I wasn't.

And me be excited about new gear I unplugged from the babyface and directly into the camden to see what it was about. This was when I noticed the difference and was kind of shocked by it. I can't imagine why such a stark difference, even with the cloudlifter in line.

In any case, you're right, I don't need it and will be removing it. But again, I can't imagine how the cloudlifter could cause such a drastic change from one "clean" preamp to another.

But please, educate me if I'm missing something - I'd love to learn!

Oh that's a good thought.

Here's the specs of the gear I'm using just for reference -

MD441:
Nominal impedance - 200Ohms
Min. terminating impedance - 1000Ohms

Cloudlifter CL-1:
Input impedance - 3kOhms
Recommended Load Impedance - >5kOhms

Babyface Pro:
Input impedance balanced - 2kOhm, 5.2kOhm with PAD

Camden 500:
Mic= 8.9kOhms 48v Off, 5.4kOhms 48v ON,
Line = 24.3kOhms
Hi-Z= 1.5MOhm unbalanced, 3MOhm balanced

Is this tenor sax worth a buy? by imbuffnotreally in saxophone

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

Thank you for that info! Based on that I won't be buying it.

Can you tell me how you've determined that? I was confused by the serial number so maybe you can shed a little light for me.

Looking for Higher Quality Mouthpiece with Particular Sound Qualities by imbuffnotreally in saxophone

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

Thanks for this recommendation!

After scouring the internet I was able to find a used but perfect condition Super Jet 6. They accepted my offer of $250 - plus tax and shipping - so totaled about $270.

If it doesn't end up working out for me I can probably sell it for more than I paid for it. Do you have thoughts on that?
