Well... I set up the NT5's about 40 feet back in the audience, and used a couple of direct outs on the board (yes, Virginia, piper bands DO have a sound guy when they play indoors) for close up. For our Irish friends on the board. Forgive me for not knowing the name of this song. I named it...

Thanks Mike... I found out the band will set in a semi-circle in the alter area facing the church. 28 piece band, 3 rows deep... so they will be wide enough I can put a mic on each side of the center aisle - about 12 feet apart, 7 feet up. That should give me a pretty wide stereo field. And...

Revised: Removed hat strike on toms intro Lowered strings during bridge Extended strings on ending Eq around 16k to remove some 'air' and warm it up Something2

Unfortunately, I won't have a chance to see or hear a rehersal. I will be able to have access to the church an hour before they arrive. I will be able to talk to the band director prior to the show. At least I'll find out thier configuration - drums in back or front... fife and pipes...

Thanks guys... My thought was, on the 'you're asking me' part the strings get a tad swollen - they seem to mask the vocals, especially on the "i don't know' parts. The rhythm guitar does seem a bit bright, I'll try to soften it without losing it's ability to be heard. Yes, the ending it a bit...

My niece is in a Irish band... a marching Irish band. They want me to record them this Saturday at a local Irish church. I have a couple of Rode NT5's, and a Yamaha MG12, into a Marantz CDR630 cd recorder. I figure I'll place the mic's about 6 feet high, about 15 feet in front of the...

Hi guys... I need some critical ears on Something . It's pretty close... but I've heard it so many times in the last day. I need some objective ears. I have a few tweaks in mind, but I don't know if others would hear it the same. So, if you have any ideas, lemme know. BTW, this is a live...

I'd really love to get my hands on these tracks. As the FOH sound man for a Beatles tribute band, these could be invaluable to the guys in the band for learning thier parts. I'd glady send a blank CD(or DVD is larger than 700mb) and return postage(and maybe a few bucks for your trouble) to...

Hey cellar... Me too. I consider a sign of the stability of the software that this forum is dead.

I do FOH sound for a working (50 gigs a year) Beatles tribute band. I had the direct outs on my Midas Venice 320 set to post-gain, post-insert, pre-eq. This allows me to used some gates and compressors (drums only) for my live recordings. But I can run EQ and EFXs out of the box. I record to...

Short exposure isn't going to harm any electronics. If you park you gear in permanent install in a Texas roadhouse, you might want to clean it once a year.

I'd second the DBX. Of course my first choice would be a Klark-Teknik DN360, but you did say affordable. But then again, if you can pick a used one for around $650, it might be worth it - cuz in a couple years, you can sell it for $650.

Joe... I don't know why you'd want 'switchable' outlets, but if you want power 'conditioning' what you might need is a voltage regulator. Furman makes a full line of professional power equipment. Like this voltage regulator that I have in my FOH rack...

You know you'll have to re-install whichever OS you decide to go with, right? You will not be able just to plug in the drive to the new motherboard, boot up and have it work. It won't. You will be starting from scratch with the OS. Which means you will have to re-install all your...

If money is no object, take a look at the Midas Venice line. Top of the line Midas mic-pre's, Midas EQ's, compact footprint.

I've heard and read that for Win XP, you need to have at least 25% free on your OS drive. This gives the pagefile(virtual memory) room to operate efficiently. It also give you room to complete tasks like defragmentation. Of course, having as much RAM as you can helps too. Using a fixed size...

Rami... Very good job! I like the extended intro, nice build up to the verse. Excellent "Oh Yeah's" - specially the third one -very Lennonesque. I like the abrupt ending.

I've used EWI products for years. I currently have and use use an 8 channel insert snake for my comps/gates and a 16 channel patch snake in live production. If you treat the equipment well, it will serve you more than adequately for many years. Mark and Liz are very good people and give you...

Sounds like de authentic mu-sic, mon. tis da raggae. I'll bet the bartentenders loved it. Very hypnotic. Bands sound very tight. Don't really care for the lead vocal. Sounds like Sean Connery doing Jamacan, mon. And every once in a while, his accent slips. The thing about raggae, if i'm...

The Mackie is a good board. I've used a 2408 a few times and it's performance was acceptable. The eq's aren't as responsive as I'd like, but I'm used to mixing on a Midas Venice. The meter bridge is eye-candy. You can solo a channel and get a visual from the regular LED ladder. That era...
