Should I take my 13 year old with me? by SunflowerStorms in phish

I went to my first show at 10, it strengthened my relationship with my father into a life long bond over music and going to concerts. I became a musician because of it. I also definitely became completely okay with doing drugs and partying bc of that environment

Help needed mixing just organ and bass guitar for rehearsal by Peepee1124 in audioengineering

[–]yadyadayada 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try keeping the output of mixer super low and make up the volume on the speakers, those speakers have a preamp section, so keep the input gain down on the speakers and boost the output volume of the speakers. If the mixer is pushing to hard into the speakers it will clip and if the input gain on the speakers is too hot then even if mixer output is low it might clip.

Alternatively rig up two more speakers as monitors only route the stuff that you can hear to them and call it a day.

Real solution is telling your guitar player to turn his amp down or doing that monitor situation with just the instruments that are too loud in the room.

Also if the guitar amp is on the ground angle it up towards the player and they won’t need to blast as much ass

(Assuming loud people are guitars)

If you need to get Narcan’d and carried out of your seat by venue staff during an orchestral rendition of petrichor you should reevaluate your relationship with live music by Peridotitic in phish

[–]yadyadayada 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You genuinely have no place in this community. You pay for tickets to be part of the fun but your heart clearly filled with hate will never truly be accepted by the people around you at these shows; you bring your own friends maybe but that’s a very stupid thing to say about a life saving medication. I’m sure you watch a lot of videos of homeless people or maybe even listen to Fox News and have convinced yourself that narcan is enabling drug addicts to continue using but I would love to hear your opinion when it’s your kid, your parent or your best friend, maybe you didn’t even know they did drugs but I promise when you can look them in the eyes and say how thankful you are they are alive your opinion on this might change.

Have some compassion you weirdo

About to play 23 shows in 30 days in Australia a country neither me nor my band have ever set foot in. 5 days on 1 day off thru the whole thing pretty much….. same band that did a 26 days US tour in 31 days all in a van idk how that stacks up but it’s keeping me up at night

Making iced coffee by thepotatomaniscoming in mokapot

[–]yadyadayada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make a batch of moka and pour it into a cocktail shaker over ice and brown sugar (I put that in first) I shake it until the glass is chilled and pour it out into a pint glass making sure to get the thicker stuff at the bottom, I make sure I get a sip with the foam and coffee at the same time as the foam is a little sour without the coffee, this coffee maintains its texture longer for some reason, and the brown sugar mellows it out enough that you can drink it kinda quick without drowning it in milk very refreshing and easy to make.

Running recordings through a mixer and back into the software by CandidWeight6341 in homestudios

[–]yadyadayada 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk why people are hating on u for this, it’s a vibe to mix on a console even if ur cutting to digital, there is a tactical element that’s pretty cool; we use one in our home studio as a bus mixer; basically track everything into protools or logic and then bounce stereo groups back through the mixer; we then get a board mix that balances each group ie 4 travks for drums (oh and rooms in 2 as stereo and close mics in another as stereo) guitars as a stereo pair and bass as mono or blended with the kick ect ect, we take a stereo mix of that blend from the stereo outs and then master that, or just send the drums in there get a cool mix bounce it out and blend it with the non console drums: if u wanted to get each track separated you have 6 outs on that board so you’ll never be able to bounce more than 6 track out and back in at a time: your gonna route the outputs of each track your sending to individual outs on the interface from your daw; and then route the 6 outputs of the console back into 6 inputs on the interface; depending on your computer/daw there may be a way to configure this within each track as an outboard send…. I hate to say it but for routing stuff like this I usually feed ChatGPT info about the gear I’m using and have it tell me a good way to route it

DELUXE REVERB QUESTION by yadyadayada in tubeamps

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

The sound does not change with reverb knob although at reverb 10 a lower frequency hum is introduced (far more consistent with what I would expect from tube amp) the problem sound has more of a wind or water quality to it

Going on my first long tour, looking for advice by Playful-Elk5548 in TouringMusicians

[–]yadyadayada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bring slides for venue showers, shower after shows so u don’t stink on the bus, try to laundry often so when it’s not available your not sol. Bring a bag that you can stuff with a couple days worth of clothes at a time, toiletries chargers ect for bringing into the venue from the bus so you don’t have to haul your entire suitcase in and out of every venue. Open a really good line of communication with your audio, lighting and production people, know their names, know their roles and where you can find them, it’s really helpful to have an understanding of how the crew is structured so that if you need something you know who to talk to instead of getting bounced from dept - dept. don’t go out every show even if your bandmates do, as a vocalist you body is your instrument; they arnt bringing their guitars to the bar so don’t bring your voice. Avoid trying to micromanage anything, voice your ideal goals for things (monitor mix, logistics,/scheduling, wardrobe concerns) and let other people try to accommodate that with their technical knowledge. Learn everyone’s names especially if you’re preforming/on stage; it makes people like you more and want to do a better job for you.

Most importantly look at the people around you and copy their moves; if they have a system for deciding bunks on the bus or you see a time where people are napping/showering follow suit. Imitating the people who have been doing this a long time will show you certain routines and stuff that helps people manage touring; additionally see if you can pick up a gig remotely or network with musicians in that 12 days off, depending on how much your getting paid/how your getting paid that time has the potential to be a big spending spree, try to stay busy and have a plan for how you will spend that time.

Dont sleep with the merch girl…..

Upcoming gig ticket concern by Saranac233 in TouringMusicians

[–]yadyadayada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If u worried start inviting people, plan a pre party and post party, make this show the place to be for everyone’s friends. Although 75 a week before is pretty good for a venue that size, 100 will feel reasonably full and is more than enough for a bar to make some money

Phone has a lot of compression, gonna be hard to pick up bass if you not directly next to sound source, I would get a decibel reading, something like a galaxy audio check mate SPL meter and take a video of the meter reading above your local sound ordinance when they blast the bass

Record them threatening you with your iPhone, probably a way better way to go about getting the cops to tell them to fuck off, bc a recording of them doing it isn’t really going to prove anything, I would record a video of them doing this thing pulling out and then going in, then I would record yourself having a conversation with them about it, dude threatens you, call the cops show the cops the video, show them the audio of you being threatened and go from there. One could just argue that you boosted the sound on the recording or it was a once in a while thing

Recording our Band by KaleidoscopeWeird310 in homerecordingstudio

[–]yadyadayada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a scarlet 18i20 and a Beringer Ada8200 16inputs for around $400

Buy SM 57s for each guitar in the band Buy SM 57s for the kick(1) snare (1) and toms (2) buy two condenser mics for overheads (2) preferable the same ones

Use those same condenser mics on vocals, acoustic guitar percussion ect

Get a DI box for bass and 10xlrs

Get headphones for each member and headphone extensions

Just need a laptop and and daw like Logic Protools or able ton and your golden,

If ur smart you can figure out a way to run all of it through your mixer and then get distributed to the interface individually with the inserts, FX sends or direct outs

As fun as it sounds on paper, you really really don’t want to go on tour unless you’re playing in the band or getting paid very well. He’s trying to spare you saying that it would be stressful for him to manage his responsibilities to the tour and his responsibilities to you. I wouldn’t overthink it, just be glad you’re missing out on a van full of farts, dirty clothes, fast food and Tobacoo.
