First gig for my first originals band, been a year in the making after losing a couple of drummer on the way. Turned up expecting to play 45 minutes but were asked if we could do an hour as the other support couldn't play due to sickness. Bolstered the set with four covers, Psycho Killer, The Specials Concrete Jungle, Another Brick in the Wall part 2 and Tracks of my Tears. I'd describe us as a shouty punkish garageband so we caught a few out with Tracks but I loved it when Big Country used to do it live so we gave it a go. A good crowd and very responsive. I used Barefaced One10 stack with Markbass LM3 playing a Squier pj contemporary I bought from here last year. Everything sounded great from where I was and we had plenty of favourable comments after. Landlord wants us back even after we explained don't have a following.....which was nice.

How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?
vbance replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
Really good practice tonight, our first go at a 40 min set for a support slot we have next month. Took my new zoom h2n to try get a half decent recording. Managed to get into the room with plenty of time to set up and checked the input signal was not clipping whilst we played at full volume, check. Throughout the evening I was constantly watching the mic lights to see if they we flickering, a warning the input was clipping, but no all ok....excellent. The practice went like a dream to be honest we even threw in a couple of numbers we'd never played together at the end, one being Polk Salad Annie...loved it.... our new drummer just lapped it up. We're a bit shouty screamy, punkish outfit and did it our way so I thought how lucky I was to grab that with the zoom.....Got home and plugged headphones into h2n....gotta say I was a tad disappointed. Note to self......remember to press RECORD. -
yes

When we have a break I'll try your settings also. Where do you position your zoom in respect of the band. I guess the drums would be behind the mic or do you have the band set as if on stage and pop the mic facing you all?

I've been tempted to get something to record rehearsals and gigs with for a long while and just gambled 99 quid getting the H2n after reading this. I'll have a play with it this Friday at practice with the manual gain set to zero and I'll try the 2ch setting as the band will be set up all around the zoom. I just wondered if you have the lo cut on or off when you record with yours? I usually record with my iPhone so hopefully this will be an improvement.

I got one from bax...it's an Epiphone for the sg bass but my shortie fits snug... they also do the Gibson version for more dosh but sometime have a good price reduction. Here's mine. and you can see the room at the top....bass stays in place as the body is a snug fit...also there's plenty of room for the headstock angle. Just fold a duster up under the body, just to increase the angle a bit more but I'm just being extra careful.

im not sure what foh we use but its much better than my mixer so should be fine....thanks for your help.

I want to put together a simple iem set up...I have no idea but have done a bit of research on YT. All I really want is my bass and maybe my vocal and that's it for now. I only do occasional backing vox and I just want to experiment at practice. I purchased kz zs 10 pro 2's....and am thinking Xvive u4. Could I as a starting point have the Xvive transmitter come out of an origin effects bass rig di just so I can hear my bass only. The idea being I have Kz's on and hear all the bands backline and drums and pa with my bass amp and Xvive signal and have the benefit of hearing protection with kz's.? I also have a Behringer 1204 mixer. Could I then add my backing vocal. Bass by di from bassrig to mixer Vox to mixer xvivi transmit from phones out of mixer? The rest of the band aren't interested but the drummer has used iem and thinks I could be the way to go....I just wanna get ahead and see how I get on wearing iem and understanding the process.

It's great to play, it's a '74 so the neck pick up is position is a bit further back from the neck and gets some lovely tones. I'd recommend having a go on one if ya can.
