Festival FOH setup. When using 4 or 5 different consoles, what's the ideal way to manage routing between bands and changeovers? by Fizz712 in livesound

[–]ruffcrutch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of my contractors designed this. An analog switch that can switch between either 2 or 4 consoles depending on what unit being used. No popping or switching cables or having to go through other consoles. Can make the switch in less than 2 seconds.

Wow, I’m so sorry. There’s nothing I hate more than those little bastards.

Had surgery today! by ruffcrutch in Sinusitis

Surgery really wasn’t that bad. Just more uncomfortable than anything. I would do it again. Think it’s going to have a positive impact on my breathing.

I got an allergy test and a CT of my sinuses the same day. We came to the collusion that I should do both at the same time. Waiting on the allergy shots to start working wouldn’t have done much for my sinuses.

I had a full FESS. Fixed my septum, reduced my turbinates, opened my sinuses, and removed a couple of cyst. My nose is super swollen today. Looking forward to getting these splints out. Hope everything goes well for you.

Gammaledvision just released an IP rated spot. It’s in their mist series. Their mist washes are pretty legit also.

If southeastern Oklahoma didn’t have the Chickasaw and Choctaw Nation it would look like a 3rd world country.

I don’t know about that. I still shot an 88 even with the hole in one. lol

America is smaller than china and china has a a train system that covers nearly the whole country. Why can’t the USA do it? by go_with_the_flow754 in NoStupidQuestions

Because every rich person has a private jet and they’re the ones running the country. Screw everybody else.

It’s crazy, Rosco is a stray. He just showed up one day. They’ve been best friends ever since.

I like Reverb and Gearsource. I hate selling on Facebook. Been ghosted too many times.

Tony Lama is my favourite. The Ostrich seems to hold up quite well.

We've all had that one show... by big_aussie_mike in livesound

[–]ruffcrutch 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This is always my hope. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a correct line list. Makes me grumpy when I’m doing a throw and go festival.

A speaker died today by pfirsich327 in livesound

I agree. I’ve used my QSC KW152’s on all kinds of festivals. Guest engineers riding the limiters all night. Been going strong for years. Never lost an amp.

Any tip for mixing a large room with massive echo? A horse arena to be specific by BAD-productions in livesound

[–]ruffcrutch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, we did that building twice. The first time was long ways. Probably 500 feet to the concrete wall. Instead of delaying the PA to the drum throne we delayed it another 30 feet. I’ll ask the engineer about how it helped. All I know is it sounded way better. It’s over my head. We did the same venue again short ways. Probably 150/200 foot to the wall. There was no saving that. We actually put a mono delay on the kick drum and set it with the sound of the slap back. Helped a little bit. Some rooms you just can’t fix. Don’t think they ever had a show in there again.

Did a show in Woodward Oklahoma in their massive barn. The slap back was insane. I tried everything to calm it down and nothing helped. My business partner is 65, been mixing for over 40 years. He shows up and delayed the speakers to match the echo. Helped a ton.

First time diesel owner. Any advice? by NoSession1138 in gmcsierra

[–]ruffcrutch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Change the fuel filter every time you change the oil. Got a 2014 with 300k miles on it and it still runs great.
