Budget? Crowd size? Type of music?

Just got this e-mail in my inbox...Don't know if it's the fact that it's half past 4, or if it's a scam...It's an e-mail from a site called "VideoPrivacyClass.com" explaining about some sort of class action suit...can anyone explain this to me? I would like to know how they knew I had Netflix...and where this shit came from...

NO! WE LOST YOU TOO! Just kidding. I MIGHT get one soon, not sure...not a real fan of doing anything new...lol. But if I decide to, I will.

Couple more videos I got around to uploading. First one was probably one of the best covers I've ever heard. Largest band at the whole show as well. (I'm removing that stupid auto stabilization on those videos...annoys the hell out of me. Lol.

It will be a while, not sure, could be anywhere from a couple months to several years, lol.

Definitely. The plan is for 4 each of the 153's, 152's, and 181's for a larger setup. The EV's will be for smaller stuff. In bars, I would probably only use one pair of the 153's and probably use one for a drum monitor, lol. I think once I get these and the Luminlight cans and some mics, I should be good for a while, lol. The EV's are great for smaller stuff (even bluegrass: another company I work with has 2 more 12's I can use if needed)

Yeah, I've seen 9 out of 10 reviews saying they are great, especially compared to JBL PRX's gear. I'm thinking the 4 KW153's should be OK, 75* dispersion should help curb the comb filtering, but I've heard they don't throw that far. My family is wanting to help me out, but if I do get the mains, I'd like to get the KW152's for foldback. The CAD condensers that come in the Pro-7 drum mic kit. I had them in an XY config, but like I said I brought them out of the mix at times, and it was just general bleed, probably from either the vocal mics or the other drum mics... Just go for the KLA's they are in the budget right? hahaha Also idk about the 153's but i know with the jbl 725's if you push them together so that the two inner sides are flat on each other, they are meant to not have any negative effects on the sound. I use them quite a bit and they sound really nice. Ive never heard the 153's but they look nice I dunno, the KLA's would be nice, but they're not AS versatile as the 153's. I'd like to use the 153's for front fills and the KLA's for distance coverage, that would be really nice, lol. But these are just going to be for "larger" events, mainly ones that I will be running solo for the most part, with a helper for mic'ing up and lighting. OF course, for the one festival I would be doing next year, 4 KLA181's and 6 of the KLA12's would sound awesome up front, probably a bit overkill but still.

Getting there. I need to play with the overhead placement some, or may not even use them at all...still think they were way too loud in the mix, and I even brought them down out on occasion and there was still a lot of bleed. We did mic the snare from the bottom most of the time, which may be where it came from, but I did what I could. When you can walk in front of your own system to get to the stage and get overwhelmed by the sheer volume, you know you're doing something right lol. I plan on purchasing another pair for medium-sized gigs, and eventually some QSC KW153's and 181's (4 of each) for larger shows, and I'm hoping to have those by next year for the same festival...along with another Presonus board, lol.

Long story short, called a guy asking for a sound engineer for a small town music festival. Gave him a call, told him what I had, ended up becoming the provider for the second stage at the festival. Main stage was a 20x12 homebuilt stage, Cerwin Vega stacks and Peavey side fills, Crown amps all around, not a bad setup. My stage was a 16x10 homebuilt as well, (technically 16x8, but had a 2' addon for monitors) used my EV 115P/118P for FOH, and the 4 12's on stage (3 front line, 1 drummer). 14 bands total (7 per stage, alternating every hour). End of the night, we had anywhere between 200 and 300 people in attendance for the last few bands, things went very smooth, and got to hear some great bands. Most I had on my stage was a five piece rock band, it was a tight fit but had no problems at all. Everyone complimented on my setup, and aside from a slight thermal shutdown from the sun peeping through the trees, had no issues at all with volume, coverage, or clarity. Some people even said my stuff should have been on the main stage, I just laughed. It was good to get out and have a good time with a bunch of talented musicians and artists, and give people a nice place to chill out and relax. Couple videos from two of the bands that played. First video was a three-piece rock/metal band, second one was a pop-rock type band (the lead vocalist being the host of the shindig) (And yes, the chick in the second video does have a very nice ass, I've already been well informed, lol)

Trying to choose what I want to do with my response lighting for my truck. Nothing too fancy or flashing, just front and rear lighting. Thinking about a single dual-head LED light (or two) in the front, with two in the rear. I also plan on a set of grille LED's, a set of strobes, and a couple Sho-Me flashers for the LED tail lights. Just trying to get the main in-dash lighting sorted out, and kind of need to see what I would like, as most of my path goes through stoplights when I'm at my mom's. Just as a note, TIR optics produce more light straight forward to the lighting, while Linear, contrary to the name, spreads the light out more, covering more angles. Front Options: Traffic Enforcer T-2- Pro's: 8x1W LED's, TIR optics, Price: $75 Traffic Enforcer L-2- Pro's: 16x1W LED's, Linear optics, Price: $109 SL20 LED- Pro's: Whelen Talon copy, 18x1W LED's, Linear optics, Price: $99 Vulture L2- Pro's: 2 rows of 8 LED's, TIR optics, Price: $62 Rear Options: Vulture L2 above Mini Traffic Enforcer TIR- Pro's: Small form factor, 4x1W LED's, Price: $49 What I had in mind was either the TE L2 or SL20 for linear coverage, plus a T2 or Vulture L2 for straight-forward coverage, and probably two of the Vulture L2's for rear lighting. What do you guys think? I know some don't have alot of experience, but if anyone has any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated.

This. I understand where you're coming from, you want to help people out, but unfortunately you have to think about your family and future. Plus, if the hours were the only thing killing you, why not go back?

Welcome to the dark side. We have cookies, and ice cream.

You may REALLY want to change that before an admin sees... To topic: It's stupid, but it amuses me late at night.

Yeah, Huntington got smashed bad. Marshall U and that area of town are out, the whole west side of town is out, a water main break between 4th/5th Ave & 14th/11th streets is flooded. Our county got hammered, power is out everywhere, there's like maybe 5% of the county and most of the city has power. We had to run the club PA and lights off my generator, so that was alright.

Pop-up storms came barreling through. Entire tri-state area is in shambles. Half of Huntington and most of Boyd County is without power. I was scheduled to run sound for a set of rappers at a club in town, and the power went out, so we ended up bringing our generator over and running everything off that. Anyone else suffering from the damage from these?

Might want to watch it. Peavey does something similar with their pro gear, except the entire basket assembly, everything but the motor. Seems like a smart idea, but as for how viable it would be in car audio...

make sure its not a metal bat. that shits considered a "deadly/lethal weapon" To OP: good luck, and keep the camera close by.

Anyone get one of these yet? Just curious I might buy one once I get a stable check. My neighbor was asking if they made one and he's planning on getting one too.

I'm not gonna lie, we picked on our staff in school, but not like this, nowhere close to it. We gave our bus driver hell because she couldn't drive, but we kept it civil. This shit, just makes me lose even more hope in society. Thank god some people in this world are nice, and have been able to provide some form of apology to this lady. It was completely uncalled for, but one of the few nice gestures that will be made in today's world. Kudos to the guys of Reddit, and I better not catch those kids out anywhere.

Maybe just rolled off the bed and hit the dresser or something? Our deputy chief woke up one night and ended up passing out in the bathroom (pre-excretion) and they first responded us, ended up being his blood pressure (or blood sugar, something along those lines, I wasn't in town) dropped.

I'll check for you tomorrow.

You're right. It will die in 5 months Just kidding, nice ride.

As you all know, I run the EV ELX118P pro audio subs. Well, after some research, I've come to the conclusion that these subs could put out a little bit more to keep up with the top cabinets. (They are only rated to about 125dB max SPL, while the tops are 132dB). No T/S parameters available for the woofers (EVS-18K) I looked at the passive model (same woofer, no amp) and determined the woofer has a sensitivity of 96 dB 1W/1m. Took a look around, and found on PE, the B&C 18PS76, about the same power rating (600w cont 2400w peak), with a sensitivity of 99dB 1W/1m. In a nutshell (throwing warranties and stuff out the window) would it be worth swapping the EVS woofer out for the B&C for a real noticeable difference? Being as there are no T/S param's out for the EVS woofers, and I'm trying to see if this would be an easier way to get a little more output out of these vs. another pair of 18's. Thoughts?
