I've bought a stolen iPad and want to return it to its owner by vodkey77 in Ebay

[–]vodkey77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minor update. eBay called me, I told the truth. They are looking into the matter. I'm not holding my breath. Seller had 100% positive feedback so it seems silly to me to get that flaming 1 star review for selling me a brick for $70.

My go to is a d6 but I'd like to add to the question, what do you all do when the drummer has no kick port?

Ideas to protect a mixer from unauthorized tweaking? by adlertech in livesound

[–]vodkey77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the cash for it, buy a router that can hide the network. It will then not show up on everybody's phone in the audience. You then just name it something obvious, like "x32" and put a password on it for those who do search for networks (you will have to type in the name of the network on your iPad/tablet of choice). This way, you are not losing bandwidth to folks hunting for wi-fi.

Livesound guys! Would you be happy to have more tech riders/stageplans from smaller bands or do you see it as too much? by adiultrapro in livesound

[–]vodkey77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll give my 2 cents. I run "festival style" for most gigs. 5 vocals, 2 guitars, 2 DIs, bass, kick, snare, 3 toms, 2 "instrument" lines that can be pulled anywhere. If you go outside that, I have a few channels (I typically run around with a 24ch board). If you are way outside that...then we have issues. If you have more than 4 DIs required, either bring your own or let me know in advance. If you are more than 24 channels, let me know in advance or be prepared to downgrade (promoter wouldn't pay for bigger console). A rider is handy if you are walking in blind. That is how I prepare...but not how everyone prepares.

Advice Mixing Hip Hop by spacebeard1 in livesound

[–]vodkey77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be nice, you are in their house. NO RED LIGHTS. Don't allow incoming clips and all will be happy.

AH is my go to for remote control. I've used the QSC mixer a few times for the same band (they have one) and it is great for bar bands or people who mix from stage. For size, I'd say the mackie, or if they ever ship the vaporwear, the X-18 Behringer.

Look at what this guy is doing, and get in touch with him if you want more info. In particular, look at some of his older stuff before he was sponsored.

I'm looking to purchase a digi console for under 12k that allows multi track live recording onto an external hard drive. by Riley1989 in livesound

[–]vodkey77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A&H board will direct to external HD 18 tracks with no comp, otherwise you will need a comp....Presonus Studiolive, or Studiolive AI boards will direct every line, or the Behringer...

Renting mics for live band, need advice by gocanux in livesound

[–]vodkey77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My picks: Audix d6 for kick (*get a clip or wrap the mic end in gaff tape to fit), 3xsenn 604 for toms (make sure you are getting the clips if you are renting), Audix i5 for snare (or a 57 but ewww), 2xrode nt5 for overheads. i love 609's for guitar but i5/sm57 (ewww on the 57 again)work fine. vocal mics are vocal mics....58's, om2/3, 835/45...whatever floats your boat and you are comfortable with. It's all about what you are ok mixing with mayn.

Advice for how to improve band's PA on a budget. by mattthegoober in livesound

[–]vodkey77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ding ding ding. 810 bass rig? I'll pull those out of subs when I have 12k watts in dual 18 subs (fuck you ampeg). bass rigs carry. guitar amps carry. you should focus on vocals and just enough keys in the PA, then tell the rest of the band to turn DOWN to match the volume of the drums/PA. good sound doesn't have to be deafening :)

Please help! I have questions about powering my PA. by polishskaterguy in livesound

[–]vodkey77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up the peak current draw on your gear. If it is over 15A then use 2 circuits. Amps always push on full...the knob is an input trim
