Members Tomm Williams Posted October 8, 2015 Members Share Posted October 8, 2015 True, just count that against all the other days with 30 mics, 10 DI's, 8 seperate aux mixes and a stage filled with prima donnas and today will seem like a gift.

CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted October 8, 2015 CMS Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Easy isn't always as easy as we hope. I think there's a balance of work and chaos in which we seem to thrive best. Just sitting there while some CEO drones on about ebitda can make a day seem like a week. Working a large, bad band can be a long day too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sitting there while some CEO drones on about ebitda can make a day seem like a week. Working a large, bad band can be a long day too. Good point. I did a corn hole tournament of all things this summer. It was horrible. Canned music and one microphone for announcements and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BillESC Posted October 9, 2015 Author Members Share Posted October 9, 2015 The client put together a Family Feud game with all the sound effects and show's theme music. Problem . . . effects were at 70 dB and the music at 125dB. The initial run through was a bit shocking.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wesg Posted October 9, 2015 Members Share Posted October 9, 2015 Yikes. I have that problem when I prepare samples that get played through my keyboards (e.g. breaking glass for Billy Joel's "You May Be Right"). In my case, I find that a lightly compressed sample that peaks at -6dB comes out at about the same level as my piano notes... Did you ride the faders all day long, or compress the poop out of that channel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dedmeet Posted October 9, 2015 Members Share Posted October 9, 2015 Had a three-mic gig the other day that really kept me on my toes - headliner was a big hip-hop act. Total inputs were three SM58s and a stereo feed from the DJ mixer. Pretty much I had to ring the wedges to within an inch of their lives and compress the heck out of everything. Headliner, crowd, and venue owners loved it. I was happy when it was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BillESC Posted October 10, 2015 Author Members Share Posted October 10, 2015 Finished the three days at noon today. $ 1485 for 16.5 hours using the hotel's gear that convention services set up. Left the hotel and set up for the Hospice Regatta a block down the street with my gear. I'll load out that system on Sunday after working the Sunday matinee of BeauSoleil concert for the RFA.

Members Pro Sound Guy Posted October 10, 2015 Members Share Posted October 10, 2015 I sometimes do sound for a Bluegrass act Horseshoes and Handgrenades. One single Shure large diaphragm center and Shure pencil condensor on each side set lower for guitar and banjo on each side of the mic.The large diaphragm mic needs more filtering then just a few tone controls because of the gain you have to get out of them. BTW we use a Shure KSM44A and I have to say that is one of the best large diaphragm mics I have heard live.The Audio Technicas are good but that model Shure is really an amazing mic. Love that gig. Sounds like your staying real busy Bill. Good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
