r/livesound

I'm going on almost a 3 weeks since requesting a single instance SNUC rig. Paid for the plugin, but having issues running it on my current hardware.

How long have you been on the waiting list?

Not a real echo chamber, but pretty close. The main hall of an old train station. 150’ x 65’ beautiful old arched ceiling, hard tile floor.

Pushing the planner to do carpet, add as much soft seating as possible, and maybe pipe and drape some walls.

With all that would you do a line array on crank towers, lots of little speakers around the room? Silent disco headsets? If only.

I would love your thoughts or cool ideas.

Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to prove that if you put channels into fixed bus (for bus comp) that it you keep both individual channels in LR and a fixed bus to LR that you'll hear phasing issues. It would be nice to be able A/B that immediately to prove.

Thanks! I'm not in front of a console and won't be for a few more days but figured I'd ask

So, I’m helping to setup the sound for a school talent show. There are two things I’m thinking about:

1. I’m wondering about potential problems (feedback or otherwise) with running to PA’s in the same room (school gymnasium). This has come about as I’ve been preparing to use the school’s PA system (a new Yamaha Stagepas), and I’ve dialed it all in for a performance I’ll be doing. However, the other organizer has also planned to use her own PA (Fender Passport). If this will cause issues, I could try to dial my stuff into that PA. We could also turn it off, as my act is last.

2. So, I’ve dialed in everything in an empty gymnasium. Tomorrow, it’ll be filled in with 200+ people. How much do bodies affect perceived volume? I imagine it‘d affect the tone of instruments and vocals and would cut back on room reverb. What about volume? Do I need to plan on adjusting volume up or down to compensate for bodies on the room.

The only stupid questions are the ones left unasked.

Hi all,

I have been tasked with designing & mixing a system in a tunnel for an upcoming event.

The tunnel is approx 35m long, 7.5m wide and 4.5m tall at apex.

Anyone mixed in these sort of environments before? Will be deploying 2x delay rings (LR) and a main LR with central block of subs and FFs. - system is Funktion 1

Other than spending the morning measuring the response with Smaart and correcting - any advice / tips would be appreciated.

Thinking about updating my Avantis to the 2.0 firmware. Anybody run into any issues or bugs with it?

Hi everybody,

We have a UI24r at work and I'm having a hard time with the AFS system. All of the documentation that I've read implies 12 discreet notches with the "Fixed" and "Live" sections of the AFS but my system will only lock in 6 all together. Is there a setting somewhere that I may be missing? Routinely when I attempt to ring out the room I find that after I fill up the fixed frequencies and move over to the live frequencies, that the newly notched live frequencies take out one of the previous "Fixed" notches. Is this how this system works?

Thanks a bunch

Ive always wondered why nightclubs dont use a combination of directional and traditional speakers to reduce the volume extremes and assault on everyones hearing..

It seems like directional speakers focused on the dancefloor, while the peripheral areas receive a clear but significantly lower volume, makes much more sense than just blasting the whole place at a deafening volume..

Hi guys,

new to the sub and live sound. We have a pair of Yamaha Stagepas 1K that I use for my band.

As mentioned in the title, the vocals clip alot when we play in venues, especially when the singers are REALLY singing into the mic. Turning down the volume knob seems the obvious answer but doing that means they're no longer loud enough. The P.A allows for basic EQ and reverb but no compression. How do I stop this from happening??

Apologies if this is a novice question or has been asked already. Appreciate any help :)

Is there some reason that I can’t think of the PM on a corporate gig would set the attenuators on VRX to -5db? I have always THOUGHT you want your speaks (any speaks) at 0db. Does he know something I don’t?

Yes it's back! Please keep all show and tell type posts in these weekly threads. Unless you have a specific question about your setup, keep those types of pics here. Bonus points if you include a list of equipment with your picture.

DL32 stagebox popping

I run sound at my church. We have a Midas M32R connected to the DL32 stage box. For 26 weeks it worked fine, the one Sunday a loud Pop, then the DL32 muted everything, but the "mute all" button wouldn't unmute. Restarting the stage box made all sound turn back on.

Turned out that we were using a regular ethernet cable to connect the two. We have since changed to this cable, but are still experiencing the same issue for the past month. What are my next steps to trouble shoot?

On larger shows, and shows with truss rigs in the air, how do you go about planning how long of cable is needed? We're getting into larger and larger shows and I'm just curious what the larger companies do for this.

I know GreenGo previously had a cell beltpack out for use on NFL fields. This seems like it has the potential to be a lot more mainstream. I'm very curious about the potential to deploy private LTE networks in the CBRS 3.5GHz band. Seems like we might need to do a 3-hour online certificate in order to work with the legit antenna systems? Has anyone here done this?

Hi,

I'm a web developer and considering to build a web based Open Source Software (OSS). I've levelled up my skills as a developer and can now provide easy to install software with less maintenance burden because of the technologies I use for development.

I'm a hobby sound engineer and I mostly think of an inventory managing software to keep track of all inventory. Beside this I also thought of digital agendas that can be shared via web links and are always up to date.

If I start anything, I would like to start something that solves a real pain point. So, if you have any ideas and/or a specific pain point, I would like to know about it.

Thanks,

Tobias
