  1. its taken longer than i had expected, but then... life... it seems the promoters are still interested despite my choice to not perform after my wifes accident, i am much better equipped this time thanks to everyones input here as well as dumb blind luck. a single lewitt lct 640 set 12” above centerline of three gongs, slightly forward of the intersection of those three centers focused downward at center of instrument. i plan on a second one, set at 90 degrees and figure eight pattern. as it stands now, everything except the upper frequencies of the two side gongs are being accurately reproduced and done so far above what is needed for art festival standards, easily within ranges to produce the results im seeking. i only need to fill a 30 foot diameter dome so im trying what i have. a single yorkville elite Ls720p, a choice of a pair of qsc k10s or k8s... im opting for the 8s due to short distances and the 8s wider dispersion angle. yamaha 12 channel is kind of overkill... at the onset, im happy... very clear, super clean through all frequencies and spls... seriously happy with the accuracy... until i pack up to leave for another week of tropical beaches and gongs, im going to try to add a bit of soarkle to the two side gongs or set up so i can easily reposition on the fly if/when i choose to switch primary instruments during the performances... ive redone the pyramid stand as wellmaking a lightweight, easily portable stand/gong transport which will allow impromptu performances anywhere in the venue...

     

    sorry to dig this up but unresolved and ongoing for me... and i feel i should share what ive learned with any of you that were still interested. i seriously appreciate all posts in this thread, thank you,

    ive tried everything i have, which isnt much... ive a couple samson cl3's which might work to spot mic bowls, a couple crown pzm-6d's and an old mxl ldc thats way too bright and harsh... everything else is vocal live performance or drum kit mics which dont have the frequency response or sensitivity i need for this..

     

    $$ experiment with the mics you have, do not concern yers elf with what mics are supposed to be for etc. off axis cardioid , Omni, figger 8 etc.

    run a mixer and combine, beware possible phase issues however. mic edge of gong etc...crazy sometimes moving a mic 1" changes sound

  3. Thanks guys!

     

    I don't have the Alesis Data Disk. So you suggest it is worth and plays the songs without the need to load them. Can I do the eprom update myself or how do I know it is updated and how many songs will fit in a disk?

     

    Tonight, I will try to record a song with the tape out onto a digital recorder.

  4. Are you worried about your job?
    I quit my job in July to start my own business.

    Ability to pay rent or mortgage?
    My home is modest and paid for.

    Your retirement / 401k?
    I've lost some money.

    Are you putting off purchases?
    No. But spending much more time doing my homework before I buy.

    Is it altering your income directly from music?
    Not yet.

    Are you worried about a prolonged recession?
    No. I'm more worried about a government totally out of touch with its folks. They truly screw up everything they touch. Anyone who thinks the next president is going to make their life better needs to pass whatever it is they're smoking my way.

     

    amen
