what would you do if you are given four different speakers and subs and no time to tune and you discover they are all operating at different levels, some have screwy xovers etc. ? this happened to me on a small festival. i used an ipad and spl metre to set levels first, then went for it. wing and a prayer. my console was a crappy QU 16 . every channel had a different Q value range. Ridiculous. If I had a decent analogue board and a single reverb, a few comps and graphs I would have been fine. I love digi best but if the system is fucked, i'm boned from the get go
Question on the virtual sound check. What if you don’t have the capability to either A) use it imputing back to the console or B) don’t have a recording of the band your working with on said night???
If I don’t have the ability to virtual sound check, I will separate system setup into two processes. Pre-show I will focus on gain before feedback and a relatively flat system response in the room. During the show, if I find a need to adjust, the coloration of the system as a whole, I’ll do so.
@@billparker4815 Hey Bill, how would you approach the gain before feedback part? I'm curious. I usually just set the mic input gain to a level that I know would work for that mic and then send it to aux or PA at a nominal level to let it ring and apply some EQ, and it works fine, but I think it may not be necessary. I feel sometimes it would end up working against you as you could be cutting off too much or unnecessarily altering the speaker's response.
WHAT A TEACHING. Or, as we say in Brazil: AULAS
