Trevor Barry - "Strictly" bassist.........
EBS_freak replied to Shaggy's topic in General Discussion
Of course, nothing to do with mega amounts of post processing that are all present in the clips posted above. -
multiple connections in from various devices is all good.

Have you not seen how many strings he breaks on a gig...?
-
Gosh - that brings back memories. One of the first "big gigs" I did was there. I was working with a management signed artist that was looking at breaking it "big" (whatever that means) - but it was probably the first gig where I came out on stage (there had been a big stage erected there with sound and lighting rigs being brought in)... playing a bunch of songs that I don't think I really knew that well. I had just taken over from a bass player who bizarrely enough couldn't cut it on bass and went to singing just on backing vocals - I think it was a cost saving thing they were trying to do... Anyway, the various songwriters were all in the audience with all the record owner types... and there was me panicking to see if I'd played the basslines in line with how they'd been written. I remember coming off stage an absolute sweaty mess... (I don't normally sweat - hah Prince Andrew) - and remember being more glad that the gig was over rather than getting into it. I wish I had the composure that I have now back then!

Ipad Mini Gen 1 still ok for Mackie Master Fader app?

Its pretty easy - all you have do, click on the aux and do a link over channel like you do in the preamp channel view. So for example, if you chose to link over aux 1 and 2 channels, aux 1 would be stereo and then aux 2 would be on output 3. -

Excellent news! Turned out OK in the end. -
Bow finishing. Awful website, awesome finishing. https://www.bowfinishing.co.uk/

Probably not recommended. Those gig strides are so tight, they'd probably inflate.

I think I'm going to have to look into this camera a bit more - I'm not too keen on the wide movement but for a two or three camera angles, I think I would really like it. Mevo seems to be doing a similar thing - but the low light performance of the GP seems to trump it slightly. I'm guessing you could take the footage into Lightroom and correct for lens distortion. Hmm.

Aye - very moody.

@intime-nick and myself only caught up with each other this week. I can't say when at this stage - but we are still pursuing it but cottage industry prototyping without bankrupting yourself is pretty difficult! The design has moved on somewhat since we last updated... and I think it's fair to say that we are pretty excited by it. It's construction is like nothing you've seen before.
-
Yes ! For one unit in low light, it appears to work pretty good. Nice one. Thats actually surprised me to how well it performs. Quick q, how to control what the framing is like? Can you control that precisely or is it an auto in app thing? Having (yes, I know) worn similar trousers to the singer on a gig, I thoroughly sympathise with her taking those off at the end of a sweaty night. Mind you, ladies don't sweat, right?
-
The QU is great. The SQ too... although that seems to be catching a few people out with some teething troubles. I'd really like a go on an Avantis... Of course, the Behringer Wing is what everybody is talking about at the moment. Certainly seems to offer a lot for the money.

Finally! Welcome to 3d! Massive, massive improvement isn't it? Next you'll be running a separate desk for getting inear specific channel EQ, compression and fx. Who am I kidding? 😛

PS a real sound engineer would use SMAART. But when you are rolling something like that out, you generally have the luxury of time and a room that isn't full of punters or other sources of noise to get your starting point (because the room will still change as soon as people enter). Try doing something a RTA reading in a pub with a load of pink noise or a sine sweep or even something like a DriveRack and you won't be very popular. And of course, in smaller venues, the second you start introducing people into the equation, the whole thing becomes a pointless exercise. Not being rude - but the "taking me for an idiot comment" isn't helpful, especially when what you describe in your posts is generally for domestic use (hifi nerds), suggests optimum speaker placement (in a pub you go where you are told) and overall, not viable in the situation for which we are talking. For pub gigs, you are best off playing a prerecorded song that you know inside out, hear for any hot or cold nodes and adjust appropriately. I also tend to run chromatics on the bass and hear or watch on RTA for any hot notes and likewise adjust. At least people won't be as annoyed hearing a bass player running notes up and down the neck...

For just monitors, it may be enough - generally it's a set and forget thing. So those few awkward moments where the responsiveness gets a bit iffy may not be too bad. Of course, you got an iPad mini - so it may be better than my experiences with my old standard iPad. -

So if you are running it on not connected to the desk, than yeah. When you've got a screen full of the meters displaying, things could be a different experience for you. -

Just make sure you aren't running anything else on the iPad if it's struggling. (Double click the home button on the bezel and swipe up any open applications, apart from Master Fader of course) -

No - it wont connect - it will complain of a firmware/application version mismatch. 4.6.2 is that latest official release. -
I've never known a worse rig to use than Bose for a full on band. Folk band maybe, acoustic duo... but electric band... I'd run a mile.

What version of firmware are you running on your DL32R? MyFader was dropped after version 3. If you are running Firmware 4 on your desk, MyFader3 shouldn't connect and complain about a version mismatch. MasterFader4 essentially become the equivalent of MyFader when run on an iPhone/iPod Touch. Note MasterFader 4 is the latest official release for DL32R. 5.1 is in Beta but not available for general download. -
Cream can also turn sour. Disclaimer, the above isn't a catty comment towards M@23, just in case anybody think it's is. I'm sure they are a great player!
