I think we both agree qsc makes some nice shit! If you were micing the snare from the bottom for the sound of it, try using a PZM. I use the Shure beta 91A, but it on the ground under the snare (on a small towel to get rid of stage vibrations) and it sounds really nice.
I think it was the ride i could hear quite prominently in the mix. What overheads did you have? I quite like having a single one over the whole kit and a HH one miced from underneath. Im constantly seeing new things that other engineers do that i want to try. Like the 91 on the snare, saw that when I was doing stage for House Of Shem earlier in the year.
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...

Sounding really nice man!
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.

take the $25 you've got bills to pay
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.

everyone thats ever seen it.
if you dont; #### you gay.
You may REALLY want to change that before an admin sees...

It was pretty nasty in Charleston WV. We caught the edge of the storm and our power was on and off several times.
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...
-
Well I just checked the local laws and it looks like I can't go shooting away. So unless someones life here is threatened I'll just stick with a bat.
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?

Well, I built a prototype stage, and it came out pretty well. 5/8" plywood (just to test) 2x4 frame in 4' x 2' sections (technically), 14x3" screws all around, and it came out REALLY stable. Both me and my father jumped on it and stood on it and it barely moved at all. Looking good so far, for a temporary solution..

Hey man, Just a little idea id through out there for you.
It would allow you to take the legs out easy peasy for transport. and also it means you can make in time different height stages, or do tied stages like in your picture but instead of needing to have a seperate staging peice ontop of the normal height one you can just chuck some taller legs on it. You might not need the double brace, but i dont know how stable it will be. Some sort of locking system to keep the leg in place might be a good idea
oh and sorry for posting on like every thread you make haha
No problem man, I'd rather have too much criticism than too little. I actually was thinking about that, but I don't know how stable it would be...I'm going to try the 4x4's with bolts and see how that works. Just wish there was an easier way to keep them attached.
-
I vote for an SMD 18 in it.
-
Well, since nobody really had some advice (& now that I have some spare $$) I got a sheet of plywood (5/8") and some 2x4's & 14x3 wood screws. Put a prototype together. Frame held together great, and with the legs screwed in, the sucker was REALLY stable (alot more than I had thought it would be). Hoping to build the other tomorrow with some carrier bolts and some 4x4's hinged. 16" seems like the perfect stage height too, indoors & out. I will have pics tomorrow, we got toned out for a structure fire the minute I got done (literally...)

Jack my truck up & run the bastards over

Would you be interested in a STINGER SPV70? It's the largest battery in the original STINGER POWER line. I bought it new and only used it for a couple months. It's still perfect and has never been deeply discharged. I've also got a new in the box STINGER 200 amp dual battery isolator to go with it.
Don't think it will fit. 13" long.
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.
Best festival I've ever done! (Videos, and some ass)

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.
