Not ethernet! USB. The other ballache with the XR - is that there is a maximum distance that USB cables can be without using relatively expensive repeaters (and adds to the chance of failure in the comms)... which means your recording device (eg laptop) has to be in close proximity to the XR.

That's true - that's why you use Dante over ethernet. Anyway, it doesn't help that the comment above alludes to the Behringer doing it's recording over ethernet. It doesn't. The ethernet connection on the XRs are for network connectivity for control... and the other is for Ultranet, which is for their Aviom equivalent for monitoring mixing. The key difference is that the Behringer presents itself as an audio interface (via USB) so a DAW etc is required for recording. Unlike the XRs, The A&H and Mackie mixers (not A&H GLD) will do direct to disk multitrack recording. (They will also present as an audio interface like the Behringer). For the X32 to record multitrack, you need to install XLive card, that will record direct to SD or use it as an audio interface like the XRs. If you want to record over ethernet from the X32, you'll need a Dante card. I've got a couple of DL32R with Dante cards - that enables you to go 64 channels direct to my laptop for recording. Pretty cool stuff.

That’s an owl’s eye

Maybe it was all about getting a "celeb" for the socials...?

@stingrayPete1977 - definitive.

This.

I'm talking about the virtual faders that are in the app.

You can - the only problems comes if you have moved the sliders. It will recall with the saved slider positions.

Before you blame the preamp, source of noise can also be noisy pickups (is the soapbar a true soapbar, a single coil... split coil, humbucker?)... a lack of shielding... As for a blend pot, you can hard wire it to a full panned position - voila, single pickup preamp.

You'd hope. Did you go with plugs or IEMs?

:-/

Their background I believe is supplying ear plugs to the NHS - so closed mouth. (I think they lost the contract - hence the diversification - but don't quote me on that) What worries me more, is that when I spoke to them about phase alignment and coherence of drivers, I was met with a glazed expression. Didn't fill me with much confidence. I was there when Al Murray had his ear impressions taken for his IEMs from them. Face palmed as they were laughing and joking with him... sans bite block 😕

EX29s. To be honest, unless you can play like PG, nobody really is in a position to pass comment about the coolness of his headphones! 😛

Surprisingly, a lot of audiologists don't appreciate the needs for an open mouth impression - most of their work is for closed mouth impression ear protection (e.g. for working in a factory) or hearing aids. If in doubt, 64 have all the relevant terminology in their impressions guide, found here - https://www.64audio.com/img/instructions2.pdf

Yes - but was the discussion happening at the same time that they were taking impressions of your ears? Sitting in silence and completely still whatever impression (closed, open, semi-open mouth impression) is imperative.

Haven’t Mark Bass shamelessly nicked their look from Tonka?

Begins with a M? Did you have a full on chat?

Looks like Fret King finally have some competition as to who can produce the most ming mass produced bass. https://www.jhs.co.uk/products/guitars-folk-instruments/bass-guitars/fret-king-basses

A bite block is what you are looking for. It's a little polystyrene block that has little indents to keep your open mouth impression a fixed width whilst you have your impressions taken. Rule of thumb is like this - Closed if you are listening to hifi music (which isn't the case with ear plugs) Half open bite block impression - for general movement, maybe backing vocals. Full open bite block impression - lead vocalist that like to scream alot. It really angers me to see a lot of (big name even!) custom inear/ear plug manufacturers take impressions and post it all over instagram with closed mouth impressions. Whats even worse, is at a couple of shows that I do, I see manufacturers taking impressions whilst the recipient is having a full on chin wag. These impressions will just not cut it, result in a poor fit for the final product and just serve to the give the custom game a bad name.

It’s utter tosh!

Tsk all this talk about small fry prices... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F132878594988 imagine what it would be worth if Fodera had a hand in choosing the wood.

If you are looking into haptic feedback devices, also check out the Woojer and Backbeat.

Not really no - the XR channel settings would be for your core tone... it would be a bit clunky otherwise.

Indeed. Although when I saw him on the Police reunion gigs he was into thoroughbred Ampeg. Also - Anthony Jackson - Meyer Mike Gordon - Meyer (although they may be powered) (think Phil Lesh also uses/used very similar rig)

Yet poses with Ashdown rigs...
