The amount that goes into live shows always blows my mind. If the physical labour wasn't enough, every single person involved have some deep rooted technical knowledge of the role they're playing to make the shows happen. So interesting to watch this.

I‘m still surprised, that so many people don‘t expect us touring techies to be highly trained experts in what we do and are blown away by videos like this. What did you think about us ? We unload trucks full of gear, set it up somehow and trust our luck ?

@@kaislivesoundchannel4706I don’t think they were suggesting any of that. It’s just that a lot of people only see the end result. They don’t see all the work that goes into a show they only see for an hour or so 1 night. I mean, I think it was a compliment.

I agree. It's not that the perception is that all techs/roadie's/engineers are just uneducated tattoo-laden, alcoholic ex-criminals, but just very impressive the amount of technical knowledge that you pros have for this. I've been studying music engineering on my own for a few years, friends have gone to school for it, and it's incredibly daunting trying to wrap my head around some of this stuff. Not to mention the sheer complexity of the setup, and technology involved. Lots of ways to patch gear, but figuring out the best paths, etc, 😮. A mixer might be a mixer, but every console I see is different and gets better all the time. Personally, I feel I could spend years learning this stuff still. Crazy seeing some young guys just out of school who have a solid grip on this craft. And equally impressive knowing how many people are involved, and basically everyone walking around is a sound engineering pro.

Love the content. All these videos of Pov/behind the scenes are awesome. Everybody should be doing this, I know it's a lot of work to record/edit but the content is so good. Also I purchase those arms you suggested a couple of videos back, love them for my kit. So easy and sturdy.

Just keep at it! Show that you are a hard worker & make sure you network and talk to everyone at every show you do!

Nice video, nice vibes, loads of cool people! I'm just asking myself two questions: 1) how long did it take you to get that fridge into your control desk without causing any ground noise or disturbance issues? 2) Who actually selects the music at the end of the concert to scare the metalheads out of the venue - is it a playlist by the band management or do you just take whatever's on your teenage daughter's tiktok playlist?

RE: Preserving of ears during a long tour or bunch of shows. Do you put in any hearing protection mid show once you get your level to where it needs to be, or use cans to find adjust and protect your ears? Would be interested to know your take on this, James! Nice one for the content!

GigaACE card is for the FOH console or MONS console to plug into to get the inputs (depends who has master head amp control)

@RattlinBonesClub

3 ай бұрын

DM64 gigaace card links to the giga ace card on the DM0 so that the both stage boxes can control the I/O of the DM64 and both can receive the inputs

As a budding FOH engineer who has only just started doing shows with separate FOH and monitors, I LOVE videos. Out of interest, why a digital split and not copper and then network FOH with its own digital stagebox? Obviously you trust the monitor engineer with gain. :)

16:38 song name?

My first show was in 81 and in all the time iciest been attending shows the sound is always terrible Excellent work when you think about it

I noticed you've been doing OH's under the cymbals for a while. What is the reasoning for this? Is it preference of sound, ease of set up/teardown, or something else? Do you approach them any different from FOH being underneath rather than above?

@RattlinBonesClub

3 ай бұрын

Just preference on the look and ease of having everything attached, no random stands around. i probably eq them a little harder with them under as i try to remove the drum shell sounds more

@@mjvst the rehearsals were in a different building. The Pa in rehearsals were just to reference and get a mix built and in a good starting place, lots of mixing on headphones as well to make sure stuff is sitting together. Then when we moved into the arena the line array was the Pa in there, the system techs set that up and tune it and then I just tweak bits for my mix.
