Yeah, because anyone can be But, they would need to find a Bassist Live and recording sound engineer Poster manufacturer PA Band secretary and cat herder So, that's probably why my band members haven't bothered yet 🤣

Nope, assuming your desk supports that It's more faff, you need to watch the Q on both filters, gentler slope and the same crossover point is probably your best starting point. Oh and unlike IEMs/monitors you want a Post fader send usually You are sacrificing an aux out/matrix or however you end up implementing it, but you also get the advantage of choosing what to bother to send to that channel - which can mean not having to worry so much about high passing lots of channels

The band must know the songs inside out. However well rehearsed you think you guys are, you can be better rehearsed still. Record your practice time on your phone, listen back for areas to work on. Do what the engineer wants. Do not over eq your bass sound, let him do the eqing. Have fun!

Absolutely gutted. Plux is my eldest, Herbie was an absolute gentleman, met him first a quarter of a century ago, he was so generous... https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/97801-today-i-played-herbie-flowers-1959-jazz-bass/page/1/

Really sad about this. Loved Herbie, super chap, looked after Pluxtheduck on a few Rockschools, and was always so generous with his time and knowledge. RIP

Pop Will Eat Itself at Chalk Brighton Felt like I was 18 again, except for my knees, which assure me I'm 88 now 😬

James Taylor Quartet tribute to The Meters this evening, on the train home now... Was excellent if a little short...

Still got my Twain on my board Serious kit that!

Its been a while, was just checking the new HX Stomp patch levels with the BT to make sure nothing I'd set up has gone completely bonkers and thought, that needs a wee piccie that does

1176 and La2a are very expensive specialist comps that realistically you won't be using live in rack form. The new UAD modelling pedals are superb though....

Focusrite Compounder was what I used to use in my rack Dbx160 Drawmer Joe Meek 1176 La2a Whatever you can find thats decent project to pro studio will work. Less is more for on stage always on compression, the devil is in the detail of the attack and release times. Keep the ratio low and take the threshold down till you get at absolute most 3dB of compression. 30 to 50ms attack 60 to 100ms release You shouldn't really hear or feel it much until you play in a mix and at that point it just adds a bit of punch and clarity to everything IME

Band played a blinder, ridiculously great reaction from a very hot and sweaty crowd in Hastings. New tracks went down superbly. Old hands who have seen us many times repeatedly told us it was the best gig we had played there and the second set was particularly brilliant. Apparently it highlights all sorts of different variations of funkiness whilst always sounding like us. Got paid well by the venue and the tip jar was stacked as well. All in all an absolute belter of a gig 🤩

Higher sample rates drop latency That's the only possible advantage IMO And it's very tenuous since there's nothing wrong with the XAir latency at all.
