I agree 100%! 😂😂🥰🥰

Hey Shawn, I have a 24R as well. I have a playlist on that console too. I am still digging into it, all the videos are things that I am learning as I go. kzfaq.info/sun/PLxszCPSjfl3t-aIyDwJHkT1rgO2nh4eXi

I use the same M32C as in this video and my band uses the Q-mix system for their in ears as well, no complaints with that actually unless they use an android phone for some reason. My biggest problem is my band is always late so we have short short sound check and the rooms always have crazy reflections with marble floors and walls. Oh well

@@billylaguardia 🙏

I have a GoPro on my head. The hand held shots are using my iPhone. My video shooting/editing skills are lacking...these are easy for me as an audio human to understand!

Hey Sergio! I prefer the Midas for live sound. I like the EQ’s and the general workflow in Midas land. The 24R is more suited for recording. If I wanted a console to use as a studio interface, the 24R wins. I’m building a new M32c system. Keep your eyes peeled for those videos. I am going to make a m32/24r comparison video soon.

@Billy LaGuardia That's what I figured! Thanks for the feedback and look forward to any videos you'll have on the midas M32C and DL32 setup and tips! Cheers

The covers are the ones available from RCF. The bands has a custom stretchy fabric (technical term 😂) logo on the grills. The fabric claims to be acoustically transparent. I would concur with that statement.

The covers should be off.

Welcome to running sound for a band, it’s always going to be tricky. Live music never usually happens in spaces designed for live music. It’s often mixing a band in the corner of a bar or a boomy room. Tough gigs are going to happen, it’s best not to get discouraged and use them as a learning experience. So much of live sound is anticipating problems and solving them before they happen. Using a lot of EQ isn’t a one size fits all approach. I use EQ as needed to get the sound I want and eliminate feedback. The rooms that I mixed in my videos required that much EQ to make the band sound the way I wanted. That band was a wedding band. They had people making speeches in front of the PA, 4 singers, a horn section and were generally in boomy rooms. That much eq was needed as I couldn’t change the placement of the PA etc.. Generally, live sound can’t use preset methods. It’s about training your ears and understanding what methods will work with the rig you are using and the room you are mixing in. Good luck on your next gig!

@@billylaguardia Also they hay in ears, makes everything way easier, please, and i beg you, do a video on bands who use floor monitors and how to route em, if you use pre eq post fader etc it would help us so much!

How did the subs sound?

@@billylaguardia look at the equalizing, you bring the hole System down in every step you do, what will you do on a open air with 10.000 or 30.000 People ? Order more stuff or 20 Delay Lines ?

Right at the beginning you couldn’t even hear the subs. He has no bottom end coming through those subs. Any bottom you can hear is coming from the top speakers. You should probably just put them back in the van

Oh man, it was really laggy in this video. We use a standard Linksys router. You don’t need to go crazy with the router. Obviously the newer the better to make sure it has the latest protocol.

@@billylaguardia I bought a used one on Facebook marketplace but it’s extremely laggy and makes the audio go crazy before it catches up 😀 just wondering what other people use since in your video it looks really smooth

Try mixing station. It’s more stable and has a much better layout and custom options

@@laughingthrushmusic5269 I’ll look into it thanks

Tops are HDL12, the subs are 8003 AS-II

Sure. Digital mixers work just like analog mixers. Assign an aux to a physical output, send to your fx unit, then patch the fx unit’s output to a channel input for the return.

Yes the M32C plays well with Android. You can’t use the mix app on your phone, you will need a tablet. You can use your phone with the M32Q app for individual monitor mixing. You can use the 3rd party Mix Station app to mix on your phone if need be. Some people prefer the Mix Station app to the Midas app.

thank you very much!

The subs are fed a full range signal via a matrix. The built in crossovers have a very gentle slope. This means that higher frequencies from 90-150hz are being duplicitously set to the subs and the top cabinets. This to my ear sounds muddy. I like the subs to handle a very narrow frequency range around 40-75Hz and the tops handing 75Hz up. The way I mix, this achieves a very tight low end. Try it, 40-75 is perfect for dub.

Hey Michael, myself and Anthony were reading through “Morning Dance” by Spyro Gyra

Using self-powered speakers, it appears that he didn't use the built-in filters at all.

Correct. I don’t like the filter slope of the built in crossovers which is why I run the subs on a matrix with such an aggressive EQ.

Possibly the most redundant comment in the thread. Being nice because I said possibly.

😂😂😂

1- Previously record the band for virtual sound check when needed. 2- Teach the band that sound check is part of the show. 3- If 2nd option does not work, get a professional band instead of an ammateur one.

You deal with it.

My preferred approach is to smack the musicians across the face with my iPad for always complaining there’s traffic en route , but the previously recorded idea is a good one, will look into it.

This comment hurt to read.

Maybe. But based on what? Graphics? So, the way to do this is to make minor tweakings, so that the graphics look nice despite the poor sound quality in the room? Interresting. I always thought that the range is there to be used AS REQUIRED, which is the case. Also, he not only put the reasons in the subtitles, but explained them again at the end. Between a nice looking, inside the rules EQ and a great sounding system, I'd rather go with my ears, instead of my eyes.

Do you think I should change the title of the video? I don’t want to mislead people into thinking that they too can make a band sound good in a difficult room.

My mom told me that I’m the best sound man she knows. She also said that a 31 band EQ aka a graphic EQ will never beat a parametric EQ. Please send a video of your system EQ in this room so I and the rest of the comments section know what to do next time we mix there.
