Great, thanks so far. Will have a dig into the suggestions above.

Sorry, forgot about that. I’m not sure what they have, more than likely a windows laptop but maybe a Mac available.

My partners community brass band is looking for a solution to run a basic slideshow but also trigger some lighting cues on either a hardware controller or software such as QLC+, during some of their events. Have seen a piece of software called ProPresenter and a specific YouTube video where’s its s ...

Have a look here. Don’t worry, Big Dug isn’t a unsavoury website as the name infers.

Just been having a read through of some of the later threads and wanted to offer some insight/updates. Got the 932s a good while back and used them for various shows from nice quite gently “pin drop” folk shows to a very hard hitting rock tribute band For the folk shows, they have been perfect. De ...

Thanks Dave. Was looking to just add to my collection but always considering other options. Was tempted to go back to a passive setup but do like the versatility of active boxes.

Been running 2 Rcf 905 15” subs with a pair of Rcf 932 tops this year and for most of my gigs they’ve been fine, especially the folk nights where I get 200 people in a decent size room who sit and shut up - with the positioning of the rig and a good amount of time to sit and tweak, really got them tu ...

1. 15 minutes to switch bands, line check, do monitor mixes and go 2. We've brought our own desk for IEM - Short reply, see item 1 3. Can you make an announcement - Short reply, see item 1. 4. Artists who finish there set and leave stage empty handed - Short reply, see item 1 D. Can you tone it down ...

Thanks, did look at MU to start but it's more suited to a professional muso/performer and certainly has many benefits for that kind of work. I'm an amateur muso and really just play for fun/beer money but am doing more PA related work (perhaps should of said that in my OP) Have seen a few options on ...

Bit off topic but still related to live events. Just wondering if anyone had recommendations for business insurance that includes equipment cover and PLI
Thanks.

Ahhh…that may of been the case, it was a community meeting room and I suspect they have loop systems in there. Good shout.
Forgot to mention I was listening to a Beyoncé track, Crazy in Love If iirc, through my guitar at one point.

Borrowed a Boss Katana 100 last night for a one off gig and got there nice and early to set the amp up. Took my gear into a side room and started to dial in some settings. Sorted the clean channels then as soon as i tried to set a crunch/drive/lead channel, the thing started squealing terribly even ...

Great, thanks for that. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks I’ll get some time to have a good look at the process. It was just an experiment first time round and it’s something I’ll explore further. Ultimate goal is to capture some half decent live recordings so we can develop some promotional ...

But of a daft question but what’s the most efficient way of splitting up 1.5 hours of continuous multitrack recordings into ‘songs’ that can be used by whoever with whatever DAW they have. Basically I mic’ed up my band at a rehearsal a couple of weeks ago and recorded 1.5 hours of 12 channels of mult ...

I am a bit in wonder why RCF would make, what they would suggest, is a superior speaker but at a very similar price point. I also much prefer the aesthetics of the 9 series and can imagine when on stage monitor duties, they're less prone to foreign objects falling into the ports/hf driver. I do like ...

I’m looking at some new 12” cabs to sit over my RCF 905 bins. As I need some additional monitors, I’ve decided to relegate my 422a cabs to take on that role and go for something with a little more headroom Just wondering if anyone is using the 932a and if they’re are worth the extra ££ over the stand ...

I have 2 Iem setups, an LD Systems HPA01 wired and the xvive u4 wireless. The LD wired box is quite large in comparison with other units but has stereo inputs on xlr, volume and pan control. It also has a 9v dc input, so for fixed positions I can run power alongside the xlr input so not relying on ...

I’m in the middle of weighing up the pros and cons of several digital rack mixers and have used (in order of how much I’ve used them ) mackie, A&H, behringer, soundcraft and presonus. Currently the cq20b is coming out in top due to the channel count, and the option to use a configurable foot switch. ...

At home I often send video from my Apple devices wirelessly to a screen using an Apple tv, however I’d never rely on that in a live environment, copper every time. I’d look at the venues LAN and see if you could send the video over their network.

Thanks all. Going to call a couple of luthiers next week to see if they can have a look. I don’t mind tinkering with budget guitars/basses, have rebuilt swapped bits and tweaked quite a few but didn’t want to tackle this as it’s a 40th anniversary so want to keep it as original as possible. Of my 3 s ...

Evening peeps. I’ve got a 30yr old USA strat with a neck issue and I believe the truss rod nut is at the end of its travel. When I got it there was a lot of relief with very high action. I loosened the nut to make sure it wasn’t damaged/broken then made a jig to clamp the neck and carefully pull the ...

Had chance to tinker on Sunday as the module was next to the desk and I requested an early setup so we could. The difference between a working signal and peaking on the module was a fraction of a turn on the modules line input. I was still close to maxing out my sends and drummer is adamant he never ...

Thanks Wonks, I’m just in the middle of testing my desk to rule out any issues there, so far everything is as it should be. No processing on the relevant outputs etc. All is metering correctly and have connected up a speaker just to double/triple check I’m sending a decent signal to the aux outputs. ...

Had an issue last night and can’t yet guarantee it wasn’t user error somewhere. Typically we were rushed setting up and crammed in like sardines making troubleshooting impossible - playing and managing sound is never easy as it is. Anyway, the issue. Getting a nice kick drum level into the desk (qu ...

Which artwork did you go and see, we installed the Isaac Julien video wall which has the JBL Control 67HC/T pendants fitted, but don’t think that’s what you saw as we only have 2 on site. There’s quite a few manufacturers doing speaker systems for that kind of thing where the audio needs to be very d ...
