deMille

Age: 57 Been playing over 40 years, it's therapy for myself. Did a rock group, acoustic groups, duos, trios, solo. Now solo acoustic/vocals. Years ago it was full time but raising family, etc. needed something more steady. Now imaging/audio tech for law enforcement but doing a solo again on a regular basis after backing off for too long and the wrong reasons. I'm a hacker but venues pay me to play music. I have used lots of different stuff through the years. Recently cut back my sound system from some old Peavey 112's (much too heavy at my age) with a Mackie 1202 VLZ mixer on a QSC 1450 amp and now use 2 - Mackie 450's with same mixer. I have 2 - 350 Mackies that I use in small places or as a monitor at larger venues. Also use a Bose L1 model 1, depending on the house. They all work well but I decide which works best in each environment. Audix OM5 mic, EMG acoustic pickup on Simon and Patrick guitar (sometimes an SM58 for the guitar also), Yamaha Magicstomp pedal, Digitech Vocalist 2 for harmony and vocal processing. I hope this thread was not intended only for bands!
