Members DBR Posted March 22, 2010 Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 I had a great time yesterday. I mixed in a real tricky room and followed your advice to a tee and without a hitch the gig went very well. Crystal clear vocals , nice kick and no feedback issues. The only issues there was was some patrons complaining about the room ringing and DR adjustments which can never be avoided when patrons are around and they think it's like hooking up a home stereo system. Oh somethings wrong with you or you don't know how to do it right when they know nothing about the interjections between mics and speakers. Even the promoter was trying to get me to shut off the eq balance of the DR by unplugging it... I basically told him to F*** ofgff...it's a process! Good thing I didn't get into the fb suppression level of the unit. I would have probably had my neck rung. However, the club owner and the patrons that were at the party liked the mix in the end he was pleased with the results. All in all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted March 22, 2010 Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 We never use pink noise & analysis when there's patrons present. It's not polite nor necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gspointer Posted March 22, 2010 Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 I haven't used pink noise yet on my 260. I am thinking about setting up outside(at my house) and running it to use as a baseline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking about setting up outside(at my house) and running it to use as a baseline. A baseline anechoic curve is the best place to start from, getting everything aligned properly (crossover, peq's, time offsets if applicable, limiting etc) and then a minor touchup w/ a graphic will genetally be plenty good atthe gig. Much less intrusive on the environment at the gig too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gspointer Posted March 22, 2010 Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 Yeah, I have no anechoic chamber, but, I do have an empty field with no buildings trees etc. for 1/2 mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a plenty good anechoic environment for the task. Price is right too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
