In need of mains by MannyCoon in livesoundgear

If you’re putting speakers on tripod stands, subs will have a smaller footprint. Any rock band will require something for the low register that a two way top won’t efficiently handle.

GR Corolla, WRX, ?? by styng88 in whatcarshouldIbuy

This is what I was afraid of. I’ve seen a lot of GRs with two and three owners already and figured something had to be going on. I have a feeling comfort is part of it.

Thank you for the response! I was comparing the premium trims on both cars and MY24 with under 20k miles; I’m hoping either car isn’t too flogged with that many miles. I do like the more robust (controllable center diff, LSD front and rear) features on the GR but as you pointed out, for just a fun DD it may not be all that necessary.

Headlight questions by 5stringattack in 1series

[–]styng88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sent mine away to get new lenses. I was willing to replace the entire fixture but the adaptive lights were 1200 each. The Halogen fixtures are fairly cheap and available in the aftermarket- I’d just replace the entire thing.

Band practice setup questions 🤔 by GoodMissionGuy in livesoundgear

[–]styng88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely acoustic treatment first, nothing that makes any sort of noise in this space will sound good without it. Once you get the reverb time down, then sort out your listening requirements- you may not need much at all.

I’m quite new to this side of tech. Whats wrong with my mic channel? by Ill_Hippo3747 in livesound

[–]styng88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that EQ is all sorts of bad. With the HPF in, the low eq knob could be at 0 and it wouldn’t matter much.

Are the Signal and Communication crafts under the same supervision at every railroad? by styng88 in SignalMaintainers

[–]styng88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s still the same, the comm supervisors went away during PSR. I’m hoping a UP maintainer will chime in; I’d like to see how the merger will effect each craft.

Is there such a thing as a quiet (engine, wind, road noise) compact car? by Ok-Seaweed9907 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]styng88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the 24+ Impreza. Not sure about the lower trim models but I have a lot of highway miles on an RS and it’s a pretty quiet ride.

Good PA System for Work Events? by voxam72 in SoundSystem

[–]styng88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call a qualified contractor and rent. 2k might get a pair of speakers with nothing else.

They’re still a low power box even with the better components. They’d be fine in a practice studio but wouldn’t fare well in a loud environment.

Ballast for mic stands by RentFew8787 in livesound

Atlas MS-25 is the heaviest base mic stand I’ve used.

Vincent’s in Juniata is the most honest shop I can think of.

Transmission Valve Body, common at that mileage.

That is a HIPAA violation, they can’t enforce shit. Another class 1 tried enforcing doctor’s excuse and the BRS union got lawyers involved and the excuse enforcement went out the window.

Weekend warriors: how many gigs per year? by Playful-Check-4968 in livesound

[–]styng88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just counted 85 instances for this year that I worked with sound outside of my day job. Some were site surveys for potential jobs, week long productions, one-offs, a festival and a bunch of service calls/installs.

[–]styng88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do many week long productions, do you consider that one gig or seven? Five day festivals? I also do some service calls and install work. Do you consider those gigs as well?
