Don't bother with older iPads with the Mackie DL32R. I have a 2012 (4th gen) and a 2018 (6th gen) iPad. The 4th gen is slow and clunky as mentioned - although it does work, it won't run 5.1 if that ever materialises. There's nothing on that iPad apart from MF4 and the faders are a bit "sticky". It'll get you by I guess (as it does me) - but may be a little frustrating at times. I'd plump for a 5th gen as a minimum.

And before anybody says it.... we now all now know the secret behind how EVH got the brown sound...

I call BS on that. He may have done that - but it would have the opposite effect of deadening them. The salt and acetic acid from the vinegar in the ketchup will actually clean the strings... (although on a brand new set of strings, I'd say the difference pre and post ketchup would be minimal, or more likely, have no impact whatsoever.

All good - but white power cables across stages? Vom.

🤨

Who did Johnny? Capaldi?

No bass purchases for 2019 for me (theres still time I know but Im hoping I'll get there unscathed!)...

A crystal emblazoned jack for your custom lead. What everybody needs.

Fret wrap... for tapping freaks and lazy B string muters everywhere.

@lemmywinks running in stereo is a big improvement over mono. In your Aux setup, set up link over channels on your Aux bus view so Aux output 1/2 become Aux 1 (stereo). Then you can pan your channels independent of FoH. Repeat this for Aux outputs 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 (annoying how output is on far right and far left of patch bay), 9/10 etc...

Just thought, if you got a DL32R, I'm guessing that you are going to be wanting stereo - Check this thread out for connectivity options - https://community.musictribe.com/t5/Recording/Using-the-Powerplay-P2-for-Wired-IEM/m-p/237996

Suspect it will be a while yet... I've been on the beta testing team. Looking good but progress isn't anywhere near as quick you'd hope eh?

The Behringer is probably built better than the Fischer unit. Having had some P2s in my arsenal for some time, the only real downside is the battery clip inside. In normal circumstances, it's fine... but if the unit is ever dropped (which you shouldn't do - but it can happen), the chances are the batteries will jump out of the clip and the unit won't power up. It's easy to fix - just pull the housing apart (as you would to replace the battery) and reinsert the battery. It's a small gotcha but can be frustrating in the heat of the moment when the thing won't power up and you forget about this little quirk and you know that the unit has fresh batteries in it. The main difference between the the P1 and P2 is the fact that the P1 enables two balanced feeds to give you a stereo signal whereas the P2 is only balanced in mono and unbalanced if you run stereo. For most people this is a point not worth mentioning - but obviously, in problematic environments, the unbalanced feed can give you noise on the line, so to speak. Battery wise, it's worth getting into the habit of getting rechargeables and getting them charged for every gig. Having said that, the battery lifes on both of these units are pretty good and will easily get you through a few gigs. However, nobody wants to look like a clown when the power goes down mid gig and you are scrabbling around to replace batteries. The mix function of the P1 is generally for dual mono where one feed is from the PA, and one is a "more me" function where you can boost/cut your own feed in relation to the other feed. I personally don't like them... especially if you are using modern desks where you have control over the whole mix from a tablet or phone anyway. It certainly wouldn't be a make or break feature for me. The other thing mentioning is that the P2 is designed to clip onto your belt. The P1 is a bit clumsy in this respect. With two XLRs hanging off it, it can be quite a weight. You'll want a twin core XLR to minimise the trailing cables... or better still, use it as a headphone amp and get a headphone extender... but then you should take into account that your headphone extender is unbalanced also...

Wow. Great save from a bad situation. If it's any consolation, I think this bass really suits being headless.

Good effort!

Well, the Midas DP48 is certainly floating my boat. Of course, what I am waiting for with baited breath... is the new Behringer Wing...

And I thought my day couldn't get more dull.

ZS10 should be more warm, especially in the lows... but its the headroom when you dig in that you'll notice most. Custom is the biggest improvement that you can make assuming that you have a decent mix to begin with... but appreciate that it is a considerable outlay if you aren't sure how they'll fit in with your setup. The P2 is a very capable unit... I have no issues with the unit, it performs and sounds great. My only slight criticism is that if the unit is knocked or dropped, the batteries can fall out of their holder preventing the unit from being turned on until the batteries are re-seated. As long as you are aware of that though, it's a quick fix to get a seemingly dead unit operating again. It would be nice if it was a balanced stereo unit - but no great shakes really as most people wouldn't even recognise the difference between balanced/unbalanced in most gig situations. There's plenty of people getting good results with a set of ZS10s and a P2 - in fact, they've pretty much become the BC standard go to IEM solution without breaking the bank.

The ZS10 is going to be the best value for money IEM you can get for bass - as noted in the thread early, if gives you loads of headroom in the lowend and whilst it doesn't have the most honest of signature or wide soundstage, it does serve as a great on stage monitor. Certainly for less than 40 quid, you'll be hard pressed to find a more performant monitor - in fact, they'll smoke most 400 pound monitors. I wouldn't bother going anywhere else unless you are ready to get into the world of customs, where you are looking at something like a quad balanced armature IEM or the oddball UE6 which gives you good performance and headroom, whilst retaining a lower pricetag due to it's hybrid driver setup.

The latest firmware was delivered two days ago to the beta testers. I'm beta testing for MacOS and iOS so can't really comment on the Andriod or PC ports - but 5.1 is defo going forward at this stage.

5.1 has been in the works for quite some time now - and is currently in beta. When 5.1 is officially out... well, that's anybody's guess. It's quite overdue now!

Build it with Bernie from GB exact to my spec. Perfect. Haven’t wanted for anything since.

He hadn't got the hair for it. Guitar and bass straight through the top at the end of the songs..

I've just watched it with the sound off and hummed a random melody and spat some random lyrics. Certainly puts a different slant on it.
