  1. About me; I'm a 30yr old Afghan veteran with a back ground in music production. The army thing was an early mid life crisis I suppose. I've played in several bands, toured the bar and college scene in Canada. Many kitchen parties out east, fundraisers, jams, ect.... Played in arenas right down to tight living quarters. The world of Live sound production is a fairly new venture for me. I was educated in recording engineering tech. and sound engineering. The rules of live sound are much different. It's been an interesting learning adventure. Presently I'm rockin; Mixers: A&H R16 - Simply amazing. Samson TRX-16 - Surprisingly good. Some bleeding, on board eq not so good, Soundcraft MPMi 20 - Very nice. Needs more LED's. Yorkie 6040's and 4040's for power - AWESOME. Very quiet (noise), very powerful (Sound) Behringer 1220 powered mons - They are great for what they are. Surprising performance from a company I wouldn't have bought from 5 years ago. Behringer eurolive something or other "FOH" (for really small venues) - Meh..... Nady EO3's - Good for what they are, cheap. Get the job done. Turbosound custom FOH's. Bi-amped, screamin tweets, 2 15's. - Simply put, the best FOH I have ever used. A lucky score. Custom built Cabs someone had ordered in, and never picked up. Shop thought it better to knock off a few $$ rather than dump $500 in shipping to return the cabs. I picked them up with a yorkie 6040 used, (once, and by me) for $1500. Art 31 bnd eq - Not a accurate as my old URIEs, but they certainly get the job done. One chan is FOH, Chan two is usually kick drum shaping. dbx 160 compressor - Speaks for itself. dbx 266 comp. gate - Lovely little guy. The gate has been a life saver many times when working on crappy kick drums. samsom scom comp - Meh, good for what it is. Has a built in gate, horrible. makes a very noticable pop. behringer fbq15 EQ - I bought this for $20, so that's the only reason it ever entered my live rig, but with the FBQ (the feedback detection system) I've actually found it infinitely useful in ringing. I use it in line with the art when I'm setting up. All the build up freqs light up on the FBQ, I take them down on the ART. Not an exact science but it has sped things up. After that, I use once chan for the MONS, sec. chan for mons or vocals/guitar ect... TC-Helicon VoiceWorks Plus - Awesome. Makes a good singer great. TC-Helicon Voicesomething or other pedal - Soundguy in a box. For $200, what a great little guy to have. I keep the "pitch correction" on this turned off all the time. The auto adjusting EQ, compression, warmth, are fantastic, especially for thin voices. Shure sm57's, 58's, 52's, PG48's, a C606 The SM speak for themselves. The PG48s are just fine. The C606 is cheap, but for small venues, you can never tell the difference. AKG Perception 220's - Guitar cab micing. VERY nice sound. A tad bright, but that works well when micing a amp. AKG Perception 200's - Drum overheads. Great sound, but a little airy. CAD 2400 - Good for what it is. I use this as a backup for guitar or for a setup for amatures. ART tube preamps - Nice tube warmth. When I can, I use these vs. the phantom power on any of the boards.
