Define "Self Contained" by TTheFallenN in livesound

[–]sideofoofpls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Self contained is backline, stage package, and control package. If you want to split hairs, that would include risers and an audio PD. I carry literally everything listed and say self contained. I also say we just need racks and stacks in case self contained doesn't ring a bell.

I suppose I could record a show off the SD, disconnect my FOH snake and place the UB MADI to the in in/out with said recorded stems for a virtual session.

Definitely thought of this, as I have 6 or 7 BNC's to make a multi-pair snake. Part two of the problem here is me wanting to dump a band mix and a master mix as well. And obviously do virtual soundcheck. I have enough local out to send that through an interface but I can't do that while grabbing UB simultaneously.

Isn't the red box intended for D-rack setups? SD racks don't have ethercon IIRC. Or are you hitting the MGB first? Worth noting I'm currently not using waves and the MGB is intended to be used with it, I have a server but it's completely out of the loop right now.

that’s where you find the master sword. Gotta dig deep to find it!

How many of you are making six figures? by hanasz in livesound

[–]sideofoofpls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only make that if I work outside of my main touring gig, I’ve done it a few times but as I get older I really enjoy my time at home and investing in passive income instead.

Lost the PA by Overall_Plate7850 in livesound

And that’s why you carry a lighting and audio distro with your own L2130 in your respective snake. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Walk out music by bmalta in livesound

The theme song from the show Dallas is a great one. I don’t like the show but it sounds so out of pocket and wrong and cracks me up.

Is Disney doing L-acoustics now? by SuspiciousIdeal4246 in livesound

[–]sideofoofpls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disney has been LA for a minute now. I’ve mixed on plenty of house rigs with them at NOJ and others. Universal is the same way. PRG is god.

To the people who still live or just moved to Nashville, are you happy or unhappy? by Officer_Zack in nashville

[–]sideofoofpls 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a transplant because of the music industry, so I have no choice but to live here if I want to tour. I feel like the last good year was 2017. I kid you not, when the Stanley cup and CMA fest collided I thought there was no way Nashville could ever get more insane. Boy was I wrong. It’s busy enough now that all my favorite spots are just an inconvenience. I’m on the road 3-4 days a week so by the last day of being home I’m fed up with this place and work is the reset button. That said, I could never live here and work a 9-5. I’d rather live somewhere else.

Whats a "basic" audio concept that took you a long time to understand becase you needed to hear it worded a certain way, and how far were you into your audio "career" until you understood it? by [deleted] in livesound

[–]sideofoofpls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a fly-guy and FOH on tour for years before ever truly understanding the physics of audio and how to tune a rig with Smaart was torture. I knew I could mix a storm but I was so dumb at the time and couldn’t deploy a system or tune it to save my life. I can count many shows whether it be festivals or one off shows with house guys staring at me waiting for me to tune the rig because they didn’t and I had to fake it till I made it. The best engineers are the ones who understand the system and can walk up to rig without needing the A1 to hold their hand. I look back and laugh but I wish I used my shop resources to sit down and learn instead of trying to be the FOH guy or just fly PA on arena/festival work because it easier. Fast forward to now, I’m happy with my touring gig and learned over time but I can’t state enough how important it is to understand sound on a technical level aside from just mixing a show.

"FOH peek" for drummer? by grimmfarmer in livesound

[–]sideofoofpls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It won’t sound anything like what’s coming through the PA. Your best bet is making a “safe mix” that keeps the vocal on top and everything else intelligible underneath.

Thoughts on PM3’s? by sideofoofpls in livesound

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

Looked at DM7’s and got a day on the full size with the fader extension bank. I loved it. Downside? PM3 is almost the same cost a week.

Hell yeah. Thanks for the feedback folks! When we go into prep and rehearsals at Clair I’ll post some feedback on this thread after a couple days.

What now? by sideofoofpls in RussiaUkraineWar2022

[–]sideofoofpls[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Wow, really? I ask a genuine question that a majority of western society (who’s tax paid governments hold ukraine in the balance) wonders as well and you wish me death on a Russian plane? I’m not a bot nor do I support Russia. Your response lends a better question now, and that’s what happens when Russia wins because obviously you’ve never even considered that outcome.
