To Bart, Stacy and all the members of the SC community: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. We're grateful for the terrific content this year and look forward to more in 2025!
Congratulations on another event held with the excellence that you always achieve. And I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year. May God continue to give you wisdom and prosperity and open doors for work. So that we here on the other side have more videos to learn from and inspire us. You are the best.
Thank you for your comment...we are glad that we are able to share our experience and help others out! Merry Christmas to you and wishing you the best for 2025!
What fun! A special holiday gift to all of us from The Sound Couple. This gig is certainly not the normal kind of gig to which Bart and Stacy allow us to tag along. But, this video is rich with a long list of learning opportunities for us. I feel like we've been given a very special Holiday Treat, as we watch Bart navigate the front-of-house duties at this special concert. As always, a tip-of-the-hat to The Sound Couple for continuing to illustrate how the excellence in honing the craft of providing production services pays off with big benefits for the performers and for the audience. A very Merry Christmas to Bart and Stacy.
I certainly agree when you say you mix differently dependant on the type of gig. I’m lucky to work in live band, corporate AV, theatre and streaming and although the essential skill set is similar the approach and execution will vary to fit each scenario. Happy Holidays to you and Stacy 🎶🎄🖖
Man, I feel like shows like this with rehearsals, and multiple shows are the perfect candidate for scenes per song. That way you can really have things dialed in, and have a high level of consistency show to show. Use this in conjunction with time spent in virtual soundcheck, and you've got a recipe for success
@@thesoundcouple Recall safes are definitely your friend in this situation. you may only want to recall FX parameters, mutes, and maybe a couple faders, depending on the show etc...
@@thesoundcouple i agreed with your insight in regards instinct vs instruction vs expectation vs client, tricky business but at the end of the day, somehow we need to draw some lines as audio engineer simply because we are the one that responsible running the audio system. As always, great content! 👍
@@rickyshines Correct..instincts are derived from experience. Your reputation is derived from all of those factors...but the person you need to win over is the person writing you the check!
Another feather to add to your cap. Thanks for the Christmas special. I'm always interested to know how different people connect their own desk/system into house gear, especially for multiple level or raked seating, a combination of FOH (direct or array) & fill speakers (for under tiers), whether the FOH speaker system is run via the matrix system within the consol or through software / driverack / system processor to accommodate the different needs of the audience seated on different levels and proximity to the stage (speakers).
You send your main outs, plus any aux outs from your console into the houses console. The house engineer, or you, then route them appropriately to where those feeds belong on the house console.
I was told the balcony is an issue and the fills are maxed....I honestly could not hear them when I was up there thus the need to overcompensate with the mains. The mains were located on each side covered by a facade.
@@RegularTennesseeJoe I would say that is a fair assessment. I wasn't going to push my opinion as those can be perceived as insults quickly. Overall, the system performed well...I think a part of the challenge was also catering to the average age of an opinionated audience (60+)...so that magnified any underlying system issues. My guess is for most shows, they let the system do its thing and some of the considerations provided to me are non-factors for most of their shows.
i love you guys i have learnt alot. was hearing wwith my inears but all was sounding good😂😂😂😂 me this side i didnt have sound stresss.greatings from UGANDA, YOU PROBABLY WOULD LIKE TO CHECK YOU MAP😁😁😁
Bart, thank you for sharing this gig as well. Was this show listening to the band play only, or was there other challenges as well? I’m just curious how many shows got attended. The band sounded great, you did excellent as usual.
Thanks DeWayne! The two biggest challenges with this one was keeping the volume in check and getting consistent coverage. I call it a win as I never received one volume complaint!
They did, but they said they didn't work well. I tried to pry a bit deeper, but they said they have done everything they could. Honestly, I could not hear or see them.
Great question, but I did not ask! I was really just focused on the task of mixing the system...so from that perspective, I had to use what was there and knowing what it was wouldn't have really mattered.
Hi, moving forward, would you consider patching the audio from the board to your video if you do a gig like this again. Just curious. Great video by the way!
Yes...couple of considerations. It would probably been a good idea to inform them I was recording...but a more significant challenge is posting the content on RUclips. It is very difficult to post musical content on RUclips without being demonetized or incur revenue sharing. This really impacts how we are able to present the content. If you go back in our catalog of videos, we used to demonstrate recordings, etc....sadly, it's not possible for us to provide content like this any longer....at least consistently.
Merry Christams from Italy, Stacy&Bart, two simple questions: 1) Which PA was there in that theater and did you find the system already calibrated? 2) I noticed that you left the wireless systems in the control room and therefore at a considerable distance from the stage, aren't you afraid of disturbances and frequency drops during the show? Have Happy New Year and at the next gig!
Thanks for your questions....the system has been in the room since 2017, so I can only assume it was tuned and it was just fine to mix on. It's a busy theatre, so I can also only assume that the wireless mics at FOH is working for them. We did have one mic acting up, but they were able to resolve by scanning. Have a great New Year!
You probably want to run four outputs. L, R, sub, and fills. That will give you more control. I’m assuming there are fills in this theater. Did you get a trace to confirm the pa is processed the way you expected?
The one thing I would probably do differently next time is to run the subs off an aux. It seems like they have exhausted their "tuning" of the system (including balcony fills) and they will be doing some upgrades in the future.
@ unfortunately you can never know beforehand what the pa is doing in some theaters. I had a theater where I had to shut off the amp feeding the full speakers because it clashed with the main pa. When the fills were on, the vocals disappeared in some parts of the theater. Mixing theaters is definitely a cool gig
@@markjastrzebski2065 It can be important to know what questions to ask, but I was hired to mix FOH, so that's what I focused on. That said, it does feel like the system could use an assessment to ensure it's working optimally. I don't know if they have had anyone come in to look at it or if it's just been the staff applying their knowledge.
@@thesoundcouple fair enough. Nothing is better than hands on faders versus tablet. I find UC on a tablet a bit too course when adjusting settings. Been a member of your channel for some time now and enjoy hearing your views, looking forward to 2026 content. Any chances of you running us through your EQ process for individual channels? Do you start with a "flat" EQ or do you start with the persons installed presets and make adjustments? Also some of your "effects" setup as finding videos is somewhat elusive.
@@PhatOtterStudios I rely heavily on presets and my base project/scene. The goal is to be able to get any lineup in the ball park very quickly and this approach has worked very well for me. We have a video where I cover my approach to working with a new line-up: ruclips.net/video/vD0SSN98nDU/видео.htmlsi=X6bjHOvli1Hx9vba. Also, if you scroll down to our posts in our channel page, I provided a link to all of our presets that we use that can be downloaded. We have a lot of videos in the works!
Theatre and acting appears to be a different type of sound-handling. I have watched a couple of videos on the actor side. Tends to be very fast movement on the board. Instinct versus Direction - I like it. We get a bit of the latter at church. What did you bring beside the PreSonus 64? Thanks for the video and insight.
We brought our NSB 32:16 stage box which we placed by the drums. We ran out of their analog splitter into that. I also brought a laptop, headphones, and a few misc. items. This was a pretty dynamic show as well. What was interesting is how I was able to transform from being reactive into being proactive by the last show because I knew what to expect. Then, just like that, it's all over!
Before rehearsal did you get a chance to walk the room and evaluate the in house PA? Was there even, adequate coverage or was it spotty and changing depending where you were seated? How did your mix translate to different parts of the room? Mixing under a balcony always provides challenges. Curious as to what the in house PA was.
There were gaps in coverage....I suggested a center fill, but they were concerned about the additional volume....I think our CDL 10's would have been perfect for this role and I could have managed it. It's their system and they do a lot of shows there so it was my job to work with what was there. Any failures would reflect on me. Sorry, I did not ask what the system mains were...they sounded good though!
@@thesoundcouple I appreciate your response. As a touring FOH engineer myself, I often have to do deal with pre installed systems, so I understand what you were dealing with. Well done in making the best of it and adjusting your mix to accommodate the room. Thanks for sharing!
At the start of day 2, you switched on your desk and put the master up but I didnt see any amps being unmuted or switched on. Was the PA already on and if so, how did you not get any pop or noise when turning on the desk?
The PA system was on when we came in. Our main outputs ran into a couple of channels on the venues mixer (to the left of ours). If I had seen it wasn't on, I may have said something before turning ours on.
Not sure...one speculation is that the stage and surrounding areas are active for performances, storage, etc. Placing the receivers at FOH keeps them out of the way.
Wireless is placed FOH at the Theatres in Pillager and Pequot Lakes, MN. The Pillager theatre is a new build. No problems at Pillager. Pequot Lakes has a host of problems, but that's due to its age and lack of funding more than anything.
G’day Bart and Stacey, as always really appreciate your vids. Was that a dB meter on the the big screen showing in the last rehearsal before the show? Are you limited to 95dB for the sound?? Thanks.
I was just monitoring where things are at. I wasn't provided any specific limits on dB....I was just told it can't be too loud. It was then up to me to determine what that meant.
@@thesoundcoupleI mixed an outdoor variety show, in a town with a noise ordinance. Problem: the level is arbitrary. Was just told to "keep it down so neighbors don't complain". The city didn't have a DB/distance numbers to give me! I never got a noise complaint 😊
There are a couple of reasons why we do...We feel their ecosystem offers the most flexibility of any similar systems. The rack mixers are unmatched. The mixers sound great....in fact, we have been told many times that our IEM mixes sound the best....that's not one big coincidence. Going on 5 years with the CDL speakers and you couldn't give us anything else still to this day. That said...not going to sugar coat either. We have had challenges and some of them pretty big. However, they stepped up and made it right and there are things promised that have yet to happen, but I feel that the dark times we had are over. They climbed a big hill committing to AVB and I sense they learned a lot. I am a customer beta tester, so we do have that relationship as well. We have prevented a lot of people from seeing things and only wish we could have stopped more!
@@XIIMonkeysMusicGroup Suffice to say....I absolutely do what I can, but they ultimately call the shots on releases and sometimes the only thing I can do is 😖 and breath.
Hi. I miss seeing Stacy. I wonder if you do an RTA of the auditorium? I didn't really like the band this time, especially the bass and drums. Although to be fair, through the camera and RUclips it's not the best way to listen. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

What/where was the PA?! Couldn’t make out where mains were, how they were configured. Likely that it’s not deployed well to truly cover the balcony.

Was there a reason to why you utilized the SL64 rather than your SL32sc with the NSB 32:16?
For an event like this, a full-size console is more desirable...but more importantly, our SL64 is not in a rack and can sit on any surface.

They have missed out a classic christmas song from the darkness
Which one would that have been? The show consisted of approximately 18 songs.
I like Roland In general but that console is horrible
Part of agreement was to allow us to use our console....they were perfectly ok with that (read between the lines).
Roland have stopped making audio consoles, probably for a reason.
Saying that, I don't have issues with the Roland that I've used.

Snare is quit a loud
Volume of drums is a common challenge in auditoriums like this...the drummer was doing what he could and the snare was not in the mix...E-drums??
@@thesoundcouple I noticed that too. And the snare was not in the mix. Yes, a good electronic drum system could perhaps be better here.
