I have pretty well enough leads and stuff in case that goes wrong, and screwdrivers / alen keys. Honestly i have never needed any but the rest of the bands have!

How is it relevant to the story, no genre has a monopoly of having a bunch of frustrating people - the OP knew what they were applying for, and I assume it is something they wanted to play. I wouldn't audition for some group playing stuff I wasn't prepared to play and as it is him seeking them, I would take that as a given. I have asked to be in a couple of groups playing music that I wasn't that keen on - one I gave a chance as I thought it would be good with the people in the band, and once I avoided as I didn't want to do that sort of music. Frankly there are no modern progressive rock bands around here, so cover bands is what I do.

There are loads of great bands - we are not talking about top of the line main stage at glastonbury bands, just functional bands that actually gig, there are loads of those I have been in a few, and they advertise for people. At the moment we have trouble getting a new guitarist again. There are loads of bands round here, I have been in them in this area over a decade, but we dont' do multiband gigs often, and don't really hang out with other bands, don't really get to see other bands so they don't know us, we don't know them, apart from the drummer who goes to the pub every night and sees bands. There are a few bands with younger people that break up and form every few months, with the same people in different bands, but the majority of working bands round here have the same lineup for years. So yes, I know guitarists in other bands and they are in other bands. If I was looking for another band, I would advertise as the chance of those needing a bass player at the same time as me wanting to join a new band are slight. i have had offers in that time but not looking to move. I guess the scene in London or other major cities are very different than scenes in the rest of the country, so your experience might be different. The guitarist we are talking to know was a bit wary, having been to 3 bands with equal stories to here, including a blues band that changed their entire list they advertised to grunge, a group that had a major argument when he was there and split up and a few other questionables! So my advice is to just keep looking and don't get disheartened by it, they are out there.

Literally his post is about trying to get into a band

Theres a difference?

I take one to play, and one to have in case anything goes wrong.

When I bought my chapman stick, the guy I got it off seemed a great guy, had a reasonable social media presense including pics of him playing the stick so I could have gone F&F, but I didn't because fundamentally it was a lot of money and the extra money was just insurance for it. Turned out, he was a great guy anyway, but the thing is, a lot of scammers seem like great guys, and there really isn't a way to tell the difference. Like those people who meet some girl online and then pay for them to come over and it turns out it was just a scam and they lost their money. Well, I have been married to my one for 25 years on last monday, so you really can't tell.

Not really a question of speed, its because a quantum computer can be in many states at the same time. So it can have all passwords at once

The Gl iNet 1200 is the at the moment on my list of things to get as soon as I can get a non amazon source for it - I use a much better one, but I don't need that much power as it doesn't have much to do, but that little one has the advantage of being USB powered. So yes, I would go for one of those. I do have a TP-Link AC750, which is what I used before and it worked perfectly, but I need two ethernet sockets for the mixer and the surface, so even though they were reliable and perfect for the job (in some ways better than what I have now), it was twice the number of things, and I am all about not having as much stuff now. Then I needed one around the house, so I used the other router anyway. But in your position with just the one socket need, the AC750s are perfect, reliable, can be powered by the XR18 (although probably not officially!) and work well.

Well, that is going to cause a loss in performance, certainly!

mine is on sever mode in a practice as I don't bother with the surface etc and client mode on a gig. But the iPad knows both networks, so its pretty transparant. Now I think about it, I should probably use the XR16 I have for practice as it is smaller and not used for anything else, and it also has a 2 channel recorder on it.

It occured to me that in the time I have been using wireless, 5 years or so I have had one gig where I had a few dropouts. But in the same time we have had to stop the gig about 5 times because the guitarist insisted on using those Fender leads, and once had to do a quick swap because the singers XLR died. So yes, although I have always had a cable next to me in case i had to quickly swap out, if 100% reliable is the cable standard, my wireless has been about 103% reliable!

I generally use my ashdown ABM600 and 2 1x12 TC speakers, just because everything fits together. The volume is generally at 1/4 - directly to the left. Before that (and still sometimes) I used my TC450, which was less and had no problem with that. But TBH, the most time in the previous band I used a TC250 1x12 combo and never had any issues with that. I am sure they are pretty cheap now, the only reason it changed was probably being on basschat!

Really does sound like a defective battery or a high current drain. Switching it on again (by unplugging and plugging gives a higher voltage for a short while until it has got drained

Yes, I have changed it

I am also using that, even if it sounds like a bad Cardi B song, but mine is on 192.168.0.x !

This was during the setup on Saturday night: IMG_6166 (1).mp4

Sorry, yes, the mixers default address is 192.168.1.1, and it generally hands out a 192.168.1.101+ to an iPad connecting through its internal wifi. I sometimes confuse it as I am using a wifi 5g router on the 192.168.0.x range, with the iPad on wireless and the X18 and XTouch on wired. I assume the 169 there is a typo of 168?

I would say vanishingly little chance, unless he isn't a native english speaker.

True, but the desktop one has a separate panel for network and connection type. Sometimes that is a little irritating actually, at least on the iPad you know you are connected.

it is pretty much exactly the same as the iPad app. I don't understand how behringer didn't bother updating it while the XAir series are very popular pieces of hardware, not like they don't get the updates (unless the lost the person who wrote them).

Indeed you can't but you can change how you scan those things, or what element of those bits you use.

They looked from a basschat user, but the prices didn't look very genuine!

That is just a straight up network issue. The demo mode will always work, its not really doing anything. It does a request on the subnet for any X-AIR mixer and shows a list of them. If there aren't any, it means that none of them are showing up on the local network. Same as the mac and PC versions. The difference with the now non functioning iOs 16 is that sometimes it appears and won't connect, sometimes it appears and dissapears and sometimes it connects and crashes. So for whatever reason, your XR mixer is not on the same network as your iPad, or there is something stopping it getting there. Plus the software is very old, so it almost certainly works on iOS 10. I have an ancient iPad (the second one) - I am sure it worked on that, can try it if I can find a power lead!
