Out again Friday... for another go. Could be quite interesting - it's a private festival with Deacon Blue headlining.

Oh man. Sad to read this 😞

😉

Yeah, with the Otto from the Simpsons hair cut (lockdown locks), behind the camera.

Phone call went like this... "Got quite an interesting gig tonight... fancy bringing down a camera or two?" For those wondering what one man (me) and a load of cameras can do...

Some folks may find section 7 of the IEM bible thread useful -

Playback mix I presume? (Virtual soundcheck)

Ive done similar in the past

Some woud argue that in my case, it's defo accurate.

Just a word of warning on FRFR cabs - make sure they can handle bass!

Hence the link - I didn't want to regurgitate the whole lot... but yeah... this ^ If people aren't using PAs, maybe sacking of the rig and buying a couple of top end tops is the way to go. That way you can use a top as a traditional rig if you are playing with a band when you need to play without IEMs.

This ^ The key things to consider are this - 1. They offer hearing protection, enabling you to have monitoring at a safe level 2.They offer an enhanced clarity over traditional monitoring solutions, you only hear what you want to hear, with minimal influence from ambient sound 3. You can move around the stage without impacting what you hear 4. They are a lot easier to carry around than a pair or wedges or rig (see them as a replacement for your rig, or monitor wedges, or both - and then you'll see that comparatively, they are cheap... and your back will thank you for it) 5. They enable you to go ampless 6. They enable consistency across gigs 7. They look cool as fk and makes it look like you mean business @Hammer_If you haven't already, check out the following thread - https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/389429-the-iem-bible-thread/ - all the advantages and tricks and tips are cleared off in there.

Maybe you should get a covid test.

Mushroom, mushroom! It's a snake, it's a snaaaaake.

Was working at Silverstone last night - It certainly feels like gigs are pretty much “back to normal”. I’m not sure the Covid figures will look so great after this - I was certainly happier being “this” side of the fence.

They also work well in pubs too.

Did the Elf do a good job of doing the Trace thing…?

it’s because it’s all dry… that’s why I am saying dump the channels into a DAW and do a live mix in there.

Coming to think of it, much digi desks could do that over USB

All about the matrix mix! If you have something like Dante on your Raj and Dante virtual sound card, you could subscribe to the channels on your desk via a laptop and a Ethernet cable, take it into your favourite DAW and mix somewhere more quiet.

Have I stumbled into a Sue Ryder thread?

Victor's tone on this Sire does nothing for me. Too much clank for my liking.

This is very true. A lot of people don’t realise that the smartphone is very powerful tool. Remember, you can also get mics to upgrade the sound on your phone… or get gadgets to take a feed from your mixer. It may be the case that a phone (with it without mic upgrade) on a tripod will give you everything you want.
