    Re: Outdoor shows...

    Copy that. Message received.






    Again, copy that. Funny...when I started my sound company I made up my mind that I would be able to handle large shows. So I geared up for that. But the...

    Re: Outdoor shows...

    Great information here. Thank you!

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't 36° of vertical coverage be enough for your average small outdoor event? In my mind, it seems like the audio is being...

    Re: Outdoor shows...

    Thank you for taking the time for such a well thought out reply. Good information here. I had a feeling "comb filtering" would come up. So basically I can WIDEN the throw by splaying the cabinets,...

    Outdoor shows...

    Hey doods!

    So last weekend I mixed a couple bands at an outdoor show. I do NOT own a large, outdoor P.A. system, and haven't done an outdoor show in years, so I cobbled together the following:

  6. Follow up post on "Mixing the worst room ever"...

    Hey doods!

    So a few months ago I posted an article expressing my frustration with a room I was mixing in Santa Fe, N.M. The venue is the legislative "round house." As the moniker suggests, the...

    It takes 24 hours to cure. So I'll know by tomorrow afternoon.

    That's amazing. What a small world. I don't know Rick, but I know Mark very well. Please tell him Donnie Frank says hello, and give him a big hug. If you want to freak him out, call him "Mr....

    Re: Audio engineer guitar players...

    Great anecdote. Thanx for the advice. The problem with the VCA idea is that background vocals are all over the map. A "one fader does all" helps when cumulative background vocals + lead become...

    Yep...I've been doing that for years. Works like a charm, because the BAND (not me) will tell him to turn down.

    Re: Making 15's sound like 12's...

    Touché. I just thought I'd ask. My general observation has been that there is a definite difference between 12" cabinets vs. 15" cabinets. As you pointed out, this speaker design is also part of...

    Making 15's sound like 12's...

    Hey doods!

    I'm sure some of you can related to sitting at a console for a casual gig, just to find out that the mains are old school 15" drivers (instead of 12" drivers). I cringe whenever I see...
  13. Re: Harbinger V2218S subwoofer warning or, "Assumption is the mother of ****umption..

    No sir....not at all.






    Thanx! I will post my findings in this thread, and may even start a new one once I get a chance to run tests on the Harbingers. Heck...I might even make a video....

    For their acoustic guitars? Or are they using electric guitars now? Are you talking about the brothers from "Del Castillo?"

  15. Re: Harbinger V2218S subwoofer warning or, "Assumption is the mother of ****umption..

    Touché. I love the QSC offerings. And yes, their backplates are very intuitive.

  16. Re: Harbinger V2218S subwoofer warning or, "Assumption is the mother of ****umption..

    You're absolutely correct. I conceded that I would do this exact test in another one of the comments.






    Exactly. As you can imagine, the first thing I checked were the settings. To me,...
  17. Re: Harbinger V2218S subwoofer warning or, "Assumption is the mother of ****umption..

    It's definitely a case of "poor labeling" and "poor documentation." Turns out the crossover/link switch is to set high-pass on the XLR output jack. Your guess is as good as mine as to whether or...
  18. Re: Harbinger V2218S subwoofer warning or, "Assumption is the mother of ****umption..

    I guess. Pretty unintuitive, if you ask me.






    Apparently. I can only assume these were built for the karaoke/DJ market. I never run my top cabs directly out of the subs. I always run...
  19. Re: Harbinger V2218S subwoofer warning or, "Assumption is the mother of ****umption..

    The top speakers (K12.2) have their own built-in processing. Plus I ALWAYS run the subwoofers on their own matrix. So I don't connect the mains to the subs ever.






    It's pretty clear now...
  20. Re: Harbinger V2218S subwoofer warning or, "Assumption is the mother of ****umption..

    Which brand of sub-woofer high-passes the top speaker, but doesn't low-pass itself? Not QSC offerings. Not JBL, as far as I know. In "Link" mode, the manual simply states, "When set to 'Link,' you...

    I actually perform with a guitar player who uses the Fractal system. Yes, pretty amazing. Also, the stage-left guitar player in this video uses the Fractal. The stage-right guy uses a thing called...

    Re: Audio engineer guitar players...

    I'm mixing on an X32 in mostly "combat audio" situations, so "plugins" aren't an option. Not only that, but I'm limited to 8 FX. Not only that, but GEQ counts as an effect. So that leaves...

    Re: Audio engineer guitar players...

    We went direct, which means instead of hearing an essentially "band-passed" amp aimed at knees, he hears a high-passed version of his guitar aimed at his skull bone. So far, after one gig, I like...

    Re: Audio engineer guitar players...

    #3 may be an option. I will explore that. I believe the stage left guitar player is sending a direct signal. They set up the whole mess. I just show up and turn knobs, so I'm not as familiar with...
