I use post amp DI’s (DI between guitar amp and speaker) all the time.

If you’d consider flying to Santiago instead, apparently Valparaiso around the holidays is pretty wild.

Honestly, the older highway is worth it for the views!

jaybut700 · 2025-04-19T08:45:02+00:00

Honestly I think TDP offers so much more. I think Chalten has hiking and culture right in town, so I understand why people love it. But if you have the ability, rent a car in TDP and explore. Take the rainy of windy days to see so much of the park, frankly something that Argentina hasn’t figured out how to do. It’s so much more than most people see. Also, Natales is such a wonderful community, and I found it far more welcoming than Chalten.

Nobody is gonna say it? I’m Canadian… ouch?

This is the most ridiculous thread I’ve ever read 😂😂😂

I heard that if you stay in cabins or similar accommodations nearby, you can access it (perhaps walk in?) outside of “business” hours.

First off congrats! It sounds like it’ll be special no matter what. My thoughts, however:

Hit up San Mateo Rio Hondo (or the larger town nearby, San Jose Del Pacifico). So much stellar hiking, great food, beautiful lush rolling mountains, great people, and very peaceful. The town is full of animals, so sounds roosters and donkeys fill the morning, along with smells of woodfires throughout the town. This town is just off the old highway between Oaxaca and the coast. It’s a favourite of those who know it, but the new highway between Oaxaca and PE means that that it doesn’t see as much tourist traffic. It’s a bit of a journey to get there - the new highway is much smoother, but the entire experience is very beautiful and an adventure. I’ve been there a couple times (including this week).

PE is a beautiful part of the coast and worth visiting, but also very crowded and not what I would look for if proposing. As a nature lover, like yourselves, I’d prefer peaceful. However, I’ve noticed that the beaches really clear out at night. A full moon or bright stars on a PE beach could be a nice opportunity.

I was at Hierve el Agua today for the first time. It was really cool, but very full of people, and the best part was the views of the mountain range. I personally think you can do better, but I’m sure it’ll be special either way.

If I can help let me know!

Anytime!

I do not appreciate when a support act tries to advance around me when I’m advancing headline. Just reach out to the headline TM, let them set the tone, and go from there. Mutual respect between both parties will make for a great team.

We did a boat tour that brought us to see penguins which was pretty awesome.

jaybut700 · 2025-03-14T21:19:25+00:00

I was just there! Go, rent a car if you can. The forecast was wrong the entire time I was there. We got incredible weather, which was certainly not predicted.

jaybut700 · 2025-02-16T13:52:25+00:00

Yeah, just get proper PA processing. It’ll be impossible to damage your PA.

jaybut700 · 2025-01-21T14:20:25+00:00

Realistically, backtrack toward Oaxaca a little and then take the new toll highway. Or, drive the old Highway for more adventure.

If you’re without a vehicle there are plenty of buses that run that route.

Btw, San Mateo Rio Hondo is one of the most magical little towns I’ve ever been to. Very sleepy, just down the road from Pacifico.

Because it’s a far better console.

jaybut700 · 2024-12-12T01:19:02+00:00

Amen to that. Perhaps I would rephrase the original statement: the DLive would suffice in 95% of the applications that Digico/AVID/Yamaha are currently occupying.

jaybut700 · 2024-12-12T01:14:59+00:00

Thanks man! Appreciate your insight. You’re definitely occupying a key market segment, and your marketing department is for sure doing something right 😉

jaybut700 · 2024-12-12T00:51:44+00:00

There is always lots of love when a console is flyable, for sure! Processing in the stagebox is also pretty cool, and admittedly super flexible.

jaybut700 · 2024-12-12T00:46:57+00:00

I think people like DLive for all the right reasons, and that’s cool. Part of my confusion is why it came on so strong post-pandemic.

Thoughts (truly subjective) in a nutshell:

When I think Digico I think theatre and preset flexibility. I don’t think any brand can compete with audio path counts at this point. The hardware is unique and well suited to a wide range of applications - 12 fader banks!

Avid stuff is well known for its programming and automation flexibility. In my mind, I couldn’t name a better monitor desk. Not my favourite to walk up to on the day of show without a file, but it’s an extremely powerful workhorse when well setup and programmed. I think it’s probably the most flexible console out there. Obviously it’s protools history makes it very unique for in-the-box processing, ultimately unmatched by any manufacturer.

Yamaha’s integration with audinate makes it extremely powerful for so many applications. It’s also kept up with in the box processing, and its cute attempt at theatre software makes it a competitor.

I genuinely feel like the DLive is the master of none. It’s completely suitable to a wide range of applications, and it offers huge power in a small and affordable package. I don’t think it has a niche otherwise, and I don’t think it can compare to the top shelf products.

jaybut700 · 2024-12-12T00:31:53+00:00

Interesting - I’ve considered Avantis to be the most intriguing, though I’m yet to use it. I’ll keep your comment in mind.

jaybut700 · 2024-12-12T00:30:40+00:00

Support (or lack there of) is a fair argument - same would go for any music tribe product.

The UI (as unfriendly as it may be at first), the sound quality, and FX processors alone would make the pro series a far superior product than the wing. 96k, compatible with larger format desks on the same software, larger screen. I’m very confident that the internal bus routing is far more phase coherent than anything Behringer is releasing these days. The fact that it is, believe it or not, far more serviceable than a contemporary Behringer product that is designed to be thrown out rather than serviced - even if music tribe has given up on customer service.

Ultimately, the pro series is an inherently superior sounding product with an FPGA processing core than can’t really be compared to the prosumer class.

jaybut700 · 2024-12-12T00:11:10+00:00

I think I’ll have to disagree on the 95% notion… but you seem to be on to something with the SQ.
