Just a Sunday in May in Oakland's Sound System Spawn Point - Lake Merritt

A couple of 'feather weight' rigs compared to what I'm usually submitting pictures of.

Super clean RANE setup.

The Loom - The Swanky House Room - Oakland California

¡Swanky!

It was house, and I didn't know anyone playing because it's house and I was trying to vibe to my friends sets in the other room so I didn't bother trying to record the talent in here performing. It was definitely the bigger sound system but the bass was much better in the other room imho despite the power issues.

The dB meter is a fancy touch to any Sound System, imho.

The Loom - The Ratchet Bass Room - Oakland California

There was power issues all night. My friend RatchaelBeats's bass was so dirty it made the woofer cut out/tripped the breaker. She was mixing in her headphones and kept on vibin' like nothing happened, and then looks up and sees everyone quit moving, and pulls the headphones off one ear and realizes why.

¡That ish was absolutely hilarious!

Broadcast is crispy in the VOD but I was plugged into the Rec Out and their sets came out fine so stay tuned to those two talented artists soundclouds. If anyone can explain why the Rec Out, presumingly line level, somehow gets recorded in 32bit float so I can bring the 18dB signal down to -1dB without distorted audio but somehow is redlining sounding in the actual broadcast audio, that'd be appreciated because I'm a bit confused on the matter.

Wormhole Stage - UntZ 2026

I know it's not as many photos as I usually take but I was super exhausted by this point and there was a lot going on for me this year. I'll make it up with a super swanky spot in another post.

u/hydra_records Rouge Stage At UntZ 2026

I like how in my broadcast you see him playing, and then his battery dies and you see him point to my battery and his body language says, "Just plug into that dude's battery!"

¡Good Call u/hydra_records! Assets incoming shortly in reddit DM

Here's that RatchaelBeats set I owe you guys.

Still feel bad Ott made me delete that last one.

I ain't gonna lie the twitch copy came out hot and crispy as FUCK. Girls bass was sooo fucking hard it killed it the woofer but she was mixing in her headphones and kept on vibing like nothing happen, man that shit was funny as fuck.

WARNING: There is clipping in the twitch broadcast but the 32 bit float lossless wav masters came out perfect, I just checked. Homegirls will be getting the assets shortly, probably after sunset on Sunday, and it should be making its way to their SoundClouds in short order. Keep an eye out! I got a flow thing from noon until 1700 I'm streaming.

It cost me $37 bucks and fifty cents plus a twenty dollar uber ride to get this bass, but you get it for free, please try to enjoy a crispy twitch broadcast or wait until a clean master comes out on their pages directly.

Beat Kitty ripped it up too, man, one of the best sets from her in recent memory. o/~ ¡She got that AAAAAAAAAassssssssssss! o/~

Lost Swisstech flashlight

I had left a mic clipped to the tarp that was recording the artists assets and it was getting rolled up. I had borrowed wormhole security's Swisstec flashlight. It was place down on the ground for a second near the FOH on day 3 just after midnight. It was peach colored and about forearm length.

I owe it to security to buy them a new one if I can't find it.

¡Hope it turns up!

¿How do you deal with cutting your equipment live/rolling in frenzied masses?

This sub has me wet my lips on recording media and now I've got The Bloodlust™

After putting in my time of close to a decade a collective is likely going to be taking me onto the Media Team proper next year which will grant me the luxury of a steel barricade between the frenzied masses, my equipment, and the talent performing.

I've notice monopods don't get the respect tripods get. Day 3 was so wild they almost ratcheted my equipment right off the tripod head.

Other than High Reflective tape/LED strips/pigeon spikes: ¿What can be done to make a tripod look more 'aggressive' and "don't-fuck-with-me-able"?

I'm lucky most of the time during a 17 hour broadcast people treat that shit as holy as a cross but when the stage moves from the main stage to the secondary stage, the party gets wilder and the space gets smaller.

I've got the added difficulty of needing to operate on a feather-weight load out. QSC Sunpak 9700 is my UV tripod when I need to use my UV light and then my smallrig sits on a mono pod.

I'm trying to upgrade to a one click deploy solution which I know is going to be expensive, upwards of $600~ probably, although the payload is going to be rather light. A smallrig phone cage plus one or two batteries. When it's +1 it's a 48,000mAh 1~lb pounder. When it's two batteries its the former plus a Zitay 99Wh v-mount. I only need the latter to run the peltier cooler during day time sunrise-to-sunset streams, but I think this last paragraph deserves it's own post for equipment upgrade recommendation as this is specifically for how do I make my tripod look more intimidating? The level of respect you get from the masses is directly related to how expensive your equipment looks but not necessarily is.

I found the best way to clear the floor in front of the equipement is with my high powered UV lights. People posting right up in frame get out with the swiftness when their retinas start burning.

Omg I just saw something that would make u/sexydiscoballs prefer to see a phone in the most cringe IG short video on the dance floor

I shit you not u/sexydiscoballs. At wormhole stage someone walked out with a fucking folding lawn chair. Unfolded it and put it on the fucking dance floor , then proceeded to sit in it, on the dance floor and proceed to watch the talent like it was a damn tv programme!

If there was one image in the wormhole camp that summed up the music last night

full art dump after untz. I need to sleep and be awake before noon to set up before the first act.

one of the media crew knocked into my camera during my credentials shift and I think it landed on the mute button. ¡whoops! I’ll try to make sure that doesn’t happen again today!
