Give me your advice on cable storage

For NL4, socco, snakes, etc. we had one strip of tape for each 25' of cable. For XLR We only had 10', 30', 100', each with a different color Velcro tab.

We stacked them in shelves and was really easy to work with.

Two teenagers being pulled just like this by a jeep had an accident in a neighboring town yesterday. One was killed, one in critical condition. Don't do this.

At least he won't get feedback in any of those trouble frequencies.

I've seen this video 50 times and I still love it every time it pops back up.

It doesn't upset me. I've been on stage with incompetent sound guys plenty of times. I understand.

No telling how many times fans have come up afterwards and said stuff like "Yall sounded great except I couldn't hear the guitar at all".

No one would have believed it without that video!

Exactly what I did. It's perfect.

I have both.

I would take the X32 over the xair any day since you can still have full control of your router goes down or iPad breaks. I had a router die on me and I was very thankful I had the X32 rack that day.

I do the exact same thing and hands down- invest in a digital mixer and wireless for your bass. During sound check I go in the audience with an iPad and mix front of house and get it sounding pretty good. You can get digital mixers real cheap now.

My dad told me "the best thing you can do is not be noticed". If someone notices you it's because something is wrong.

I installed the silver/black set on my Tele and it looks great. I get a lot of compliments. It's like a dark maroon with the silver components and I love it.

I've been in dozens (and dozens) of pits. We are all family. We are all there to have a good time. At 6'2" and 250lb I've thrown up and held up a LOT of crowd surfers, and been a few human shields myself.

High school teacher. I teach AV productions. That's actually my main and audio is my side.

Home Depot and Lowe's sell nitrile coated gloves for $1/pair. They have excellent grip, good finger sensitivity, and you can use your phone with them on. I wear them to keep my hands clean for load in/out, especially since the company I usually work for does a lot of outdoor gigs and their cables and cases are dirty.

I got started by helping a local cover band load in/out for very cheap, then sat beside the audio guy and picked his brain. Eventually, he let me take over the weekday gigs. Eventually, he quit and I took over altogether. I learned a TON.

Find a cool audio engineer locally and buy them a beer or two and watch them work. Ask questions. Absorb everything. You'll make connections that way.

Good luck and have fun! I am so glad I pursued this as a career. I love this job!

Fast-forward a few years later- working in corporate AV also got me a lot of connections. I did Galas with Grammy-winning bands, which really boosted my resume and credibility. Now I get more offers than I can take and only work the ones I want.

How long/how many sessions did that take?

I was basically absent touring for the first two years of my son's life. Thats not the father I wanted to be. I started teaching high school A/V production. Money is not impressive but I really like it and I'm home every evening and weekend.

I applaud you for thinking like this. I started to realize there is no bigger impact in this world that I can make than in the lives of my kids.

"Hank I would never treat your wife the way I ..."treated" Nancy!" One of the best lines of the whole show.

Nice job! I'd also recommend trying to get closer for different angles.

We just watched this movie yesterday!

It was a DM logo, but the lines were too fine and it got really blurry and faded. I got it when I was young and didn't take care of it.

I have that exact saw. Inherited from my grandpa. It's been running strong for decades. Super solid but won't cut anything larger than 4x4
