@rom - section 1 of this may help -

There's 2 things in play with multidriver IEMs. Headroom. Headroom means less distortion (both perceivable and unaudible) - which gives a better and less fatiguing listening experience. However... When you start adding drivers, unless utilised with a properly designed phase aligned crossover (which is pretty difficult), you may get weird sounding IEMs, that can be plagued with phasing issues. Whereas KZ are not the best sounding IEMs for critical listening, for on stage use, headroom is king.

KZ ZS10s or AS10s. They are pretty much the best you can get for headroom and bass for the money.

Ooh. Tasty

Looks cool - how do you adjust height?

Are you having another component to cater for intonation?

Thanks for the kind words I'm really obsessed with colour grading - always have been, both for camera and video. Much prefer the cinematic thing as opposed to the broadcast, news report feel. The room that was filmed in is bright white and not flattering at all... which is really jarring on the eyes, which is one of the primary reasons I wanted to get some filmic colours into it. Grey card really not an issue when shooting raw as you'll know, but when you are committing colour in real time with then more limiting options in post, it has been a massive step forward. Setting the white balance to be the same (eg using a preset temperature value shared by all) on the cameras just doesn't nail it. The colour correction per angle was a lot lot less this time around. Defo happy with the purchase of that little piece of magic card . There was only really tiny adjustments needed, which is great and within the tolerance that I was hoping for. Given the different angles, different sensors, different lenses (which in themselves give slightly different colours due to the coatings and fall off), I'm pretty chuffed. I've also got a white card for exposure - but fortunately all cameras seemed to be metering around the same (allowing for slightly different ISOs and apertures) - I tried to keep the stops consistent across cameras. The two 5Ds slightly screwed it though, what with being FF.

For those who may or may not be interested in my video learnings, here's taking what I learned last time and building on those lessons learned. l love the simplicity of an acoustic session and gives me slightly more time to think about what I'm doing when there's only a couple of people... "Just play guys, I'll video and see what we get". The grey card was deployed and hopefully you can see the better consistency throughout the video between the cameras. Anyway, done. Onwards. Oh and @dave_bass5, what you reckon to the LUT deployment? 😛

I always said in the Facebook groups, never buy something on the back of a promise. Until it's available, consider it all vaporware.

Well, well, well. So MF 5.1 got released last night. Interesting observations - the "extended view" that was disclosed in the original announcement video hasn't materialised. Of course, the original video from Mackie has been removed... but somebody ripped a copy and put it up online anyway. Here's the big sucker though... Mackie announced that there would be no MF5.1 support going forward for the DC16. This forms part of the flagship AXIS mixing system.... So those that have invested over 2k in the control surface are stuck with MF4. Ooh. Mackie have just peed ALOT of people off. I say ALOT... I suspect they didn't actually shift alot of DC16s in the first place... because if you are dropping money for a DC16 and a DL32R with Dante card, you would realistically be looking at something like a QU or SQ5 with digital breakout boxes... or a X32 with similar? Mackie screwed this. I own two DL32Rs and haven't really been fussed for 5.1 to be honest - it's USP for me will always be complete I/O in one 3u unit without breakout boxes. RM32AI is the only unit that kinda fits a similar bill... but with the pricing of that, I don't think you'd be going Presonus.

Err...

See it as time saved before the invevitable... Read my post here -

Agreed Jim - the thing is, cos they not class D, they have fallen out of favour. Great news for sourcing great affordable used HD350s though. Those filters are bang on... as you say, why did they mess with something that wasn’t broken?

So today's step forward....I've ordered a grey card and colour card to try for another round whenever that happens. Should help with the colouring and white balance which was an absolute pain in the backside on the last video.... as they say they though, done is better than nothing at all.

Cheers! Always learning - I’ve got some things to take away from this and work on but overall I’m happy with the result considering it was just little me manically running around trying to get everything I could.

So as part of my journey of documenting gigs, the guys out my band got together for a little run through of tunes... so I took my cameras down to try some stuff out. Still learning... oh - and this is a lot easier when you aren't on stage too! My main learnings on this one... is my motorised slider was so slow... you can't even tell it was moving. FAIL!

It ain't here til it's here! Thing is, are you brave enough to install straight away... or do you wait for the inevitable bug fixes? Remember, this is a ground up rewrite.

Wemos D1 is my go to board for most things, just wish they'd come out with a 5Ghz version!

Will still break down when you look at it though.

I guess you could spray on a poly finish and buff that. Of course, the key thing is how precise the sizing has to be.

Yup - you got it. The scaremongering tactic.

Will 3D printed items withstand a buffing wheel to get high glossed?

@stoo - how many pins are you utilising at the moment? Was thinking about projecty stuff last night whilst driving. ESP8266 may give you the option of a web based editor which may be easier for bulk configuration... meaning that touch screen could be for just on the gig changes. Mind you, if you've got your phone with you...

The reality is, that when it comes to speccing PA, monitor wedges always tend to suffer - if there’s money to be saved it’s always the wedges that people skimp on... hence the perception of wedges not being able to give a great sound. In reality, if the wedges were of the same quality of the superior FOH speakers, this would not be the case. Youre right though, IEM saves the day.

None of that comes into it. I take a feed from the desk and mic the room.
