Yep! Standard GDAE. I’m pretty much just playing chords and finding runs that fill the space between them. I’ve been playing it on octave mandolin about four years now, so I don’t really think about the “arrangement” so to speak. If you look up my “Mary Did You Know? Tuesday Tunes” from 2020 I’m sure you’ll find a lot of little differences. I’d be more than happy to email you a screenshot of what I’m using for any of my songs.

Ps. I’m only going straight through the mic here/no pedalboard. I’ve played at this venue every year for a while, so I knew they could handle it. The pedalboard gives you more options to fall back on if you don’t have a proper soundcheck or if you have to run much of your own sound.

@@JacobHeadMusic one of the places I play has the Behringer X32 mixer which allows effects per channel and per scene, so I can tell the sound guy that I want a touch of chorus on the guitar and a little reverb on my voice so I don't need my pedal board there for most things. And I trust the sound person to do a good job on adjusting things better than I would :)

You can buy the transmitters separately. So I think I have five transmitters and two receivers, in case I want to run acoustic and electric rigs simultaneously. I’ve never really dug much into MIDI, but that sounds like it would be useful. I don’t really use this rig much at home when recording- mainly run mics straight into an interface and edit in post. At church, where I use this most often and consistently, yes, I’m just running directly into the PA. From the PA I send two mixes for left and right channels for my in ear monitors. Then I can mix myself according. I’ve tweaked little things since this video, but the gist of this board setup hasn’t changed. I run effects only on the pickups now though. That way if the mic is open at a show where someone is speaking or there are other instruments, you don’t accidentally get unwanted effects Lol.

@@JacobHeadMusic Yes, I've heard people talking to the audience/congregation with a ton of reverb on!

Thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you as well!

@@beckydampier8805 this is an octave mandolin, a bit larger of an instrument than the standard mandolin and a full octave lower. Unfortunately Northfield doesn’t make an F-style octave. This is a brand called Micawber. You can hear my Northfield octave and mandolins in many of my other videos!

Get one! They are great!

@@DLP8485 hi!

Hi

@@drpreposterous1 thank you!

Thank you so much!

I got there early, but not ahead of everyone else. When I got there, best I remember, most were just standing around talking or drinking. I went up to the stage maybe 15 or 20 minutes before it started and stood on the rail. I think it also made a difference that most everyone there were there to see Cory, rather than Sierra. Most had no idea who she was.

Thanks! I sang this in 2021 at grandma’s funeral with Sierra’s blessing. My grandma loved her gardening and her birds. This performance here was on the 1-year-anniversary of her passing, performed for special music at my church where I lead worship.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Yep! A Dahlia 5 made by Acoustic Electric Strings.

I did notice that positioning made a difference a couple years ago, so I had to be careful as to which pedals I placed near the power strip. I still did get some low white noise for a while after that, but eventually set a really low gate on the TC Helicon and now it’s no longer a problem.

Send me your email and I will forward to you what I have. I forget where I found it, but it’s just a screenshot of that section.

Were you able to send?

@@JacobHeadMusicThanks, man!

@jacobheadmusic you sound fantastic! Are you able to send me the sheet music you have as well?

@@andrianamarkano1903 he never responded to me, but if you search 'Callin Baton Rouge Fiddle Lesson,' there's a few on there that helped me.

It’s a great pedal. The Venue just serves as an EQ for my microphones now.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Just found your stuff based on your pedal board overview video. If we lived in the same area, I’d say we should jam! I’m into mando/fiddle/guitar too. I’m guessing you’re not near Richmond VA?

Sounds cool! I’m now using the set that Northfield puts together for their archtop octave mandolin on this octave as well.

If you’re just using one for your pickups- the VoicePrint would be my recommendation.

Thanks for saying hey!

That’s a great question. I think the first motivation to build this setup was because I’d be using only a condenser and couldn’t quite get the volume that I wanted before feedback. It also meant that where I stood was crucial to exactly what tone I got. So I started brainstorming on how I could include signal from the pickup to give me that extra volume and consistency. With this setup, I have control over the volume for both the pickup and mic signals independently. That allow me to tweak things in a pinch if I feel like feedback is a problem. I also utilize a Beyerdynamic M 201 TG, which is a dynamic mic that I really like when I want that condenser type quality without as much susceptibility to feedback. I’ve used it straight into my amp at Farmers Market gigs and it has given me plenty of volume. But again, positioning makes a difference in terms of tone/volume if you’re only using a mic on a stand.

I wore Starkey Sequels for a little over 20 years (from 2003, when I was 12 until last year). Last summer I got Starkey Evolv AI 2400s. I like them well enough, but there are still a lot of differences between digital and analog technology that I had to get used to. I’ve worn hearing aids since I was five years old, but having the same aids for 20 years made it difficult to transition to new ones. Sorry I’m just now seeing this. Would love to talk more if you’d like to email me: jacobheadmusic@yahoo.com
