Things have changed since the days when I used to do live production. 30-40 years ago, only the top level bars had house production. Bands walked into a blank stage. Had to provide sound, lights backilne and often even their own drum riser (if they wanted one) Then again, at the time, most places in my area had one band for multiple nights each week. None of this 3 bands every night stuff.

Such good advice in this video. It's so important to interface with the person doing sound, the people behind the bar, and everyone else at a venue you are performing at. A lot of green bands lack the knowledge of how much work it is to run sound. I don't personally do it very often, but I do a shit ton of live filming/pulling stems from the x32, and if it wasn't for being good pals with the venue I work out of a lot *Legends Bar and Venue Cincinnati* that wouldn't be possible. It's a very important relationship.

A decent tip that i got where you were talking about the VOX mic with the cymbals is when doing a sound check out a gate on it that way when they aren’t singing you don’t get that background noise and you’ll get much more vocals out of it overall. that’s just what i’ve found.

@chrishammillaudio

Жыл бұрын

I tried that. If a singer isn't projecting at near screaming levels in their voice, the vocal and cymbals are nearly identical in volume, making noise gates useless. Also, the sound of the gate activating/deactivating on the X32 causes a weird almost static like sound that throws off anyone listening to it in soundcheck. I desperately need a drum shield on that riser, but good ones cost near $700

I started in live sound in the mid 90s, but didn't really ramp it up to the level of earning money from it until around 2006. I was doing pretty well until Covid hit; then, as I'm sure most people did, I lost all of my gigs that were booked into 2023. No income to make necessary upgrades, and most all of my clients, even those with whom I had a great relationship, wouldn't answer my calls when gigs slowly started to come back. Now, I'm once again starting from the bottom and trying to get new gigs on my calendar. It sucks big time having so much experience, yet also having to start over from the bottom of the ladder, but I love doing sound and will continue to seek opportunities :) Thank you for your videos!

Interesting what you mentioned about it being a 'dream job'. It definitely depends on your perspective - producing Howard Stern isn't my dream job, for example, but I think the main problem with that phrase is how it frames a job as unobtainable.

Hey bro, I've been binging all your videos lately, I cannot get enough lol. Just curious, have you ever tried side-washing with the amplifiers on stage rather than doing traditional back-line? Mid-way through this video you said about too much gear on stage + mixing monitors being REALLY challenging, side-washing guitar and bass amps goes a long way to help with both of those things. More perceived room on stage, more DEPTH on stage, (which is the big one for my band on small stages), plus less guitar off-stage in FOH so you get more headroom there, and lower perceived stage volume also. Plus if you ever get a snare drum that just rips your head off before you even push up the Fader, I've got a "Snare Skirt" trick we use in small venues ALL the time!

@chrishammillaudio

I do side washing sometimes but headliners are reluctant to move their stuff and would rather house cabs be completely off stage.

By the way, really nice way of winding up the cables. This "fowards turn/backwards turn". I'll definetely use this from now on! I first had to think about why you where doing it, but then I understood. By this, the cables don't get twisted and stay straight. I always had the problem with really long cables that they get twisted and you can't wind them up properly.

Q - If you would upgrade to another mixing board for the same/same size venue. Which board and why would you choose it?

@chrishammillaudio

Жыл бұрын

The Midas M32. It’s essentially the same exact board as the X32 but it has warmer sounding pre amps than the X32 and better quality feeling faders. The M/X32 are two of the most common used consoles for both FOH and monitor mixes and a lot of traveling sound techs have their own presets and scenes saved on a thumb drive they travel with. Any other larger sized console is probably for theaters or larger venues that need more than 32 inputs.

Much respect for your work from Sweden. I really appreciate your videos, your work ethics and skills of the trade. It’s nice to see some “real” sound engineering instead of the major tour things. Most people will never work on digico SD7’s at a everyday level having a 5 man sound crew just for rigging the PA. 😅 Watched this episode made me think, have you tried having a plexiglass wall in front of the drums to shield of bleed etc into the vocal mics? I know it’s not metal to put it up but it can make wonders. Back when I started doing in house sound a plexiglass sometimes would have made my day, especially 9 piece bands with horns n stuff. For me the big shift was when the digital desks such as LS-9 became available for mortals, it was night and day difference.

How many in house engineers work at the venue? Look like a awesome place. :)

When I was in my early 20's I moved to Idaho because of family stuff. As a metal head I felt like a fish out of water there as the main scene was country. Still I liked to drink a little, love music wasn't an a--hole so I would go to these country bars that had live music. It was a hit and a miss for sure, some places had vibe and others I saw my way out sooner than later to say the least. One night I bumped into the sound guy who was clearly a metal head and we bs'd a bit and the next thing I knew I was behind the desk as a fly on the wall, just soaking up all of it from that point of view. From that point on when I came to that venue I was invited invited behind the desk. I didn't hurt that I had a lot (copious amounts) of really good green bud, LOL, but I was also non intrusive, helpful and totally respectful of dudes gig. It was from there that I not only gained a huge respect for country musicians and the culture behind it but I also got to learn a lot of cool stuff just by watching. Me and dude (John) became friends and I was able to ask him questions about stuff I had seen him do. It was pretty cool. He also introduced me to a bunch of other local metalheads in the area which made me feel like I had found water, although at least half of them were just cranked out scumbags. I was used to that being from Washington State though. Anyway some stuff you said here jarred these fond memories, I feel like you and my buddy would have grooved together cause he loved making good bands look their best.

@@chrishammillaudio Amazing. It says so much that almost everyone who worked there is still in good with Anthony, but they hall hate Opie's guts. Apart from Pat Duffy, who SHOULD hate Opie for allowing him to be fired when Sam assaulted him. Yes, I'm a bit of an O&A super-fan.

I don’t hate Opie. I feel sorry for him. Dude wasn’t the funniest in the room and he hated that fact. All he had to do was steer the ship and let the funny people be funny. His ego and insecurities couldn’t allow him to just be the Sulu in the operation.

Please clear the old spike tape off the floor and put some black tat on the "DJ table".. have some pride in your stage.

As a dj that setup for a dj is garbage. I would never dj on that narrow riser

The DJs and the 250 people that packed the club and danced until 1am didn’t seem to care. What kind of rig do you have that a 10 foot wide riser is “too narrow”?!
