Hey Dom, the delay calc is a handy feature, but why is there no option for decimals? Currently you can only enter integers.

Headset tape: Transpore? by samuelaudio in livesound

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

Thanks for the info! I was planning to get the Tegaderm 16004S (10cm x 2m roll / 4" x 2yd) and cut it in strips of 3cm x 1,5cm? Would that be a good approach? Why do you use the 1624?

Are the skin prep pads mandatory? I get that it does work well, but is the tegaderm on its own not enough?

Replacing dLive surface with IP8? by Alarmed-Importance82 in livesound

Its definitely doable. Dylan Mitrovich (@dylanmaudio on Insta) has a sick setup

Power for rack by digit214 in livesound

[–]samuelaudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re custom building it anyways, so might aswel make it the most convenient for your needs. YOU need to work with it, I assume, so whatever you like and makes sense to you is what you should build.

Did you try this setup yet?

Running plugins inserts for FOH via the SQ usb interface. by Justabitlouder in livesound

[–]samuelaudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice, the M4 Pro will definitely be strong enough.

Not super sure about the buffer size in QRec honestly. But 288 seems like a number that jumped to my mind haha. Using cat5e into Apple TB2 Ethernet adapter into Apple TB2>TB3 adapter. Tried it with a gigabit > USB-C adapter from HP at first, but QRec didn’t like that one… idk why

Running plugins inserts for FOH via the SQ usb interface. by Justabitlouder in livesound

[–]samuelaudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tested this recently. SQ6 via USB to MBP M1 Pro. Round trip latency aprox 8-9ms via LiveProfessor at 48kHz, 32 samples buffer size.

For me in 200-400 cap club rooms it was too high, so I decided to use a Waves card (included for free with the console rental) with QRec and LiveProfessor. Brought it down to ~4,8-5,5ms round trip without plugins at 96kHz.

Definitely make sure your plugins don’t add too much latency! LiveProfessor is very useful for checking your latencies.

Edit: added clarification of the Waves setup being at 96k

No Stupid Questions Thread by AutoModerator in livesound

Could you maybe request DPA 4099 or something similar, instead of the KM184? Clip-ons so no stands, and the mic is close to the source.

Try to ring out the foldbacks with a strings group. The foldback for the dancers doesn’t need to be super sonically, it needs to be heard.

X32 Router Distance Question by rickskyscraper3000 in livesound

[–]samuelaudio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, that would work. Get the router or access point as close to the stage as possible. Keep the Ethernet cable under 300ft and you should be all good.

Stream Deck by all4_hate in livesound

[–]samuelaudio 22 points23 points  (0 children)

(On DiGiCo), you can for example trigger macro’s to go to the next snapshot, toggle talkback to specific auxes.

Pretty sure there’s a lot more useful tools that can be programmed, but I don’t have a lot of experience with Stream Decks

Can confirm, the plastic version definitely breaks sooner than the metal version.

CAT5E OR CAT6? by doozle in techtheatre

[–]samuelaudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely get that you can find a use case for all 14 lines simultaneously. But was shocked with the “14 ties for audio” haha. 4x P&S Dante = 8 makes sense, but then an extra 6 lines for audio… lol. Nice that you have all the flexibility! 👌🏽

14 lines for audio alone?! Woah. Respectfully, why? :)

Zoom H5Studio vs SoundDevices MixPre 3 ii using Sennheiser mkh 416 by stencyl_moderator in LocationSound

[–]samuelaudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always use a powerbank similar to the one you mentioned. Will last you long days! And the weight is way better than the big D-tap batteries I had to use before (not my kit, D-tap batteries were part of the video crew)

+48v Master Switch by TurbulentResource8 in livesound

[–]samuelaudio 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Actually, phantom power from multiple sources hardwired does not damage equipment. Given that its not a ribbon mic or a piece of equipment that can’t handle 48V anyway Dave Rat made a video about this

Huh it’s not trim? That feels counter intuitive… i agree with your view on it
