    Ciao Domenico, domanda banale; volevo chiederti se, una volta fatto il monitoraggio sui vari dispositivi con l'app con l'app 4you, l'audio viene trasmesso direttamente sui dispositivi, oppure se la sorgente sonora va comunque presa dall'uscita selezionata sul mixer. Grazie, Rick.

    Great video, I think I have learned something but I have a question: I have very little experience in corporate shows, so probably my thinking is wrong, but wouldn't it be better to change the insert position of the automixer and the 5045, so that the 5045 "gates away" all the background noise and only the voice runs into the automixer. The other way around, some frequencys could trigger the automixer and then get cut by the 5045, so that some of the automixer gain gets wasted.

    • @imdomtrotta
      @imdomtrotta 3 месяца назад

      So if I insert the automix before the fader unfortunately every mic will effect the automix even if not live, as I have only one way to choose where to put the insert point I prefer to put that after the fader so I only have the automix working with the mic that are live, the 5045 in my case it's just there to help a bit the work that auto mix is already doing. Thanks for your comments, I'm always happy to hear other opinions and if any other sound op has done something different I will be more than happy to try.

    Nice! Actually very similar to my peli... I love the pouches, I have to get those as well, as mine is a total mess after every show 😆 May I ask what do you use your streamdeck for? I've bought one, as I really liked the concept of it, but I rarely use it. It's not worth setting up for stuff I do once on a laptop and it's too complex, time consuming and unreliable to connect it to lightning consoles, mixing desks etc. over OSC etc. in touring situations... I see loads of uses for it in an fixed (or semi-temporary) installations, where it could automate and expand a lot of things, but can't find a use while touring...

    • @imdomtrotta
      @imdomtrotta 3 месяца назад

      Hello there, thanks for watching. yes the pouch are useful! I've created several videos about the Stream Deck on my channel. Here are a few use cases I'd like to share with you: 1. With my SQ5, I use them to communicate with each musician while simultaneously opening their AUX mix. 2. I can press record for Reaper and mark each session accordingly. 3. For QLab, I can cue specific tracks, play, stop, and pause as needed. 4. I utilize them for software like Barco or AW for calling presets or other functions. 5. Sometimes, if there isn't enough budget for two technicians and I'm managing video switching, PowerPoint, and playing multiple videos, I can network all the laptops together. This allows me to play the videos, switch to a preset, and make the video live with just one button press. Setting this up isn't easy and requires a good understanding of networking and each software involved. Machines can fail, so being able to troubleshoot quickly is essential.

    • @youtubak777
      @youtubak777 3 месяца назад

      @@imdomtrotta Yeah, these are exactly the things I thought of, but for (semi)permanent installations. I'm an network engineer and software programmer, but I find networking everything together and fiddling with OSC, companion, IPs and ports etc., let alone some OSC routers and converters in a touring situation time consuming and not worth it. For permanent deployment, it's awesome... I'm more of a lightning guy, but I like 1, that might be worth the effort as it's only a single device...

    Hi, I have a new band to work with this week. They are using qlab and live mics/ instruments. They request a monitor mixer and foh. I have sat for monitor mix and sq6 for foh. Live (local) input to sq5 are channels 1 to 14, qlab (via USB input) 15 to 26. Will the q lab 'self populate' the sq5? And will those settings also populate the sq6 (front of house)? I assume the 2 desks will be connected via a link? Thanks

      Hello @mshep6318, so this is how I will approach this. 1. you will need a Slink to be able to connect the 2 desk FOH and MON 2. USB B to your Qlab Machine 3. You will need to patch the USB B Channel (Qlab output) to channel 15 to 26. 4. Use Tie Liens to send your Qlab Channel to your Monitor Desk

      yeah you could do that, you need first assign the soft key to a mix select and after you will need to assign that to the stream deck, but you will need to have the PFL always select on the master so when you will select the mix you will be able to select the mix, this is the way that I use it
