@@RattlinBonesClub I was vocal lead in a big backing choir for David Byrne (Atomic Bomb! on here), and was caught unexpectedly by the sheer quality of the band: we hadn't thought about choreography, and as it demanded far more than a simple walk-on, I taught a shuffle-dance as they went on. As the video shows, it added to the busk-till-ready, so much momentum the band couldn't stop, so David waved a go-around. We hadn't been told where to, so I was left guessing, as the CD was panicking, and thankfully got it right

I'm 50% deaf, can't hear squat over 4khz, and just put together a decent PA system for local bands/shows. I've been DJing and running karaoke for over 9 years now. My digital mixer is an odd hybrid of a Motu LP32 ADAT AVB mixer and 3 Behringer ADA8200 8-channel ADAT preamps (Midas designed preamps baby! Lol), and Waves plugins via USB from my laptop. I may be deaf, but I'm still doing what I love, dammit. I get feedback from others around me on whether my mixes/instruments sound crispy or dull (they can't tell me much more than that. Lol). Your videos are entertaining and inspirational! :)

Also the way that you managed to kill the feedback in the monitor was pretty mind blowing sticking the mic down low like that. Thanks again!

Great video dude. Just wondering how you set your gain structure? Do you boost every mic to roughly line level and then use faders for the duration of the show? If not, what's your way of doing it?

@RattlinBonesClub Жыл бұрын

Set most of my gains so the channel is hitting between -18 to -12, then I adjust the channels eq, comp etc and try and balance them all so my mix sits around 0 on the faders

@charlierodgers7637 Жыл бұрын

@@RattlinBonesClub At what stage of the chain do you re-balance them? Output gain on a compressor? Would you have to turn a lot of channels down to have the fader sitting at 0? Only asking because if I boosted each channel to -18 or -12dBFS in most venues I work in I'd have to turn some of the faders down below 0 if I then add eq boosts and compression. The other issue I'd have is vocal mic sensitivity/feedback from people cupping the mic or pointing the mic at the wedge. To minimise feedback but maintain -18dBFS I'd have to hack the upper mids out with a GEQ. Interested to hear your reply, cheers for the awesome content.

The 2 stage talk backs go into aux 1 & 2 on the monitor desk. Then the mon desk uses a bus out to send these 2 plus the mon desk talk line out of the dl32, small xlr patch cable that goes into input 32 of my foh dl32. Then I have a bus on my foh console that sends that channel to the speaker via the outputs on the back of my console

What’s the routing for you and the monitor engineer to talk back and forth with each other? Also what’s the little speaker you use to hear him talk next to the console?

@RattlinBonesClub 10 ай бұрын

With this setup, it was routed like this: Mons talk into the mons desk talk in stage right talk into mons desk aux 1 stage left talk into mons desk aux 2 Drum talk into mons desk aux 3 The mons console then has a mono mix bus with all those channels routed to it, output from the mons DL32 into an input on my foh DL32 so I get all the channels down 1 line. I can then route this to the speaker next to me.

Methodical teamwork, awesome to watch! What are you sending DMX with and how do you integrate house lighting so well?

@RattlinBonesClub Жыл бұрын

I’m sending timecode from my console to the lighting desk. It’s an audio signal that tells the lighting desk the exact timings of the song so the lights are in time. This is sent out of our cymatic and is just an audio channel. Then I send this out if a bus at foh and give the LD the xlr

cool to see you using an m32 for foh and monitoring.. I know a lot of people blaming these mixers, but in my eyes they're a great solution for people not having money hanging from their trees ✌🏻🤘🏻👍🏻

I have a set of custom moulded plugs from acs but tbh most the time I’ll not use them as I want to hear what everyone else is. Or occasionally I’ll use my custom iems so I can listen to my mix at a lower volume
