Lol we had 2 members of the Wu Tang Clan play this last weekend oh man what a fun project this was and it genuinely keeps on giving.

Though I will say, I have been developing a 15 inch bass reflex sub to be mixed with the titans for either monitoring or supplemental purposes. When designing in hornresp I would export the simulation into rew and try to align with the titans. I found that with the natural rolloff and phase shift of...

Oh boy yeah as much as I would have loved to give the djs something a little more it really just wasn't in the cards. We gave the djs a pair of otops and it sounded very nice up there. They just wanted to feel the bass. While I do understand the need for high level monitoring, I started out as a voc...

The djs were bitching about the complete and utter lack of bass on stage but they don't realize how important this is for venue operations. The venue was very pleased, that was a first for them. Normally engineers don't have a care in the world and just let the sound go everywhere. Directional array...

I had a gig this weekend that required some pretty extreme low frequency directivity so we decided to do something a little bit different. I present to you; the endfire cardioid v plate array 😆 Worked like a dream, with just under 4ms of delay and a polarity inversion. The bass was practically inaud...

Yes that is exactly what is happening! This DSP I have is FIR capable. Meaning you can introduce a set amount of latency, and use that pocket to correct for time discrepancies. You can eq phase and magnitude separately. Normally with IIR when you make any sort of change to the frequency domain it ef...

So recently I've become obsessed with the idea of making presets for my otops. We spent a lot of time working with FIR this year so I wanted to dive into that and see what sort of gains could be had from fancy linear phase processing. I downloaded Rephase and have just been going back and forth betw...

Symetrix has a pretty amusing super module called "the clamp aka DJ tamer" that is a peak limiter with some automatic gain reduction beyond 6db of compression. I find this to be an exceptionally clean and effective limiter. The peak limiter itself is pretty transparent but with the added a...

Thank you for the kind words! Lots of learning as I go 😆I think if you just learn how to learn, it becomes much easier to try adjacent projects. I had never used power sequencers, open architecture DSP, Dante, or heat maps before last year. But the training is available for free online, and with a l...

Not a single grille in the whole foh is marked, if you wanna know more about the rig you gotta come find me and I'll talk your ear off about it

Flowdan was originally going to play at another local club that I'm going to refrain from naming, but there was so much outcry about the quality of their sound system that they moved the show to vice 😆😆 pretty amusing to read all the threads about it on social media. That other club actually has muc...

Since Vice has opened last year we have had some absolutely massive names in dance music come through our doors, such as A-trak, Apashe, Bear Gryllz, Autograf, SNBRN, VNSSA, Pickle, Bijou, Lee Foss, Cash Cash, Drezo, Boombox Cartel, and Whipped Cream, plus a handful of comedians lol we had Faison Lo...

I thought the enclosure dictated extension? This is true if you ignore the mechanical compliance characteristics of the driver. Not all drivers have the same motor, voice coil structure, and cone/surround material. A driver with a higher qts and lower overall motor force is going to have a harder t...

I just noticed my phone decided to post these all on its own sorry yall XD
