We use a variety of mixers these days. Also more and more production provided gigs. I would like to set up something that is sort of plug and play with whatever situation we encounter. My personal is the Mackie DL1608, seldom used now. I pull it out on occasion if I'm doing a fill in or whatever if...

Any thoughts on an all in one small processor that would provide eq and limiting to feed the transmitter? Thinking of a mini DSP kind of thing. Would need to be compatible with line in from PA board and out to the transmitter. The simpler the better. What mixer are you using? Digital mixer has EQ, ...

Talkback sent to in ears is really helpful if you do any amount of improv or flowing musically. To have someone as a music director of a sort with quick short tips on the next part of the song can be very helpful. The band I mix for rotates members for a monthly event and it’s never the same crew. ...

Yes the buds are critical to the sound. I made my own custom ear moulds with Radians diy ear plug. I was looking at the Behringer units. Though it would be a no brainer for the drummer and keyboard player. Problem is convincing these old dogs (my self included in that category) that they should try...

Since we're talking in-ears..... I work with a lot of players on ears with no problem. However, my friend's band (referenced above) were having trouble with their ears being distorted. So, they asked me to come to their practice to check it out. One guys aux mix was just dimed with the faders almost...

Hello All I had the most rewarding experience at fun performance day running my in ears. I split all the mics and sent them to my Mackie DL1608 so I had 6 monitor sends. I have pretty significant hearing loss so I was compensating for this. Limiting , eq and individual balance. I can say I seldom h...

He said they have 4 sheets in stock....so, don't wait too long.

Brand doesn't matter, but you want 48v with a minimum 500w motor. If you're a decent bike mechanic, able to adjust spokes, change brake pads and so forth you can order on-line, but if not buy local. I have 2-1/2" tires, which are good for all around use. Wider is only beneficial for off-trail....

I happen to have a couple cheap Chinese subs that have 700w amps, with appropriate crossovers. Just a warning....99.999999% of amp manufacturers lie about the power. They give you peak power and often that's at 4 ohms. Driving an 8 ohm speaker like the JBL will most likely be anemic. Only way to ma...

Get an E-Bike and you can ride to the gym. Really, it's great. No impact, no stress, and riding around is fun, as opposed to a stationary bike, which is work. I rode my E-PU to the gym today.....that's a Chevy Silverado. :cowboy: Might have to think harder about those....any particular brands to lo...

Wow. Ok Zippie.....here ya' go. Withrow Supply in Barboursville. 4x8 1/2" Baltic Birch - $73.49 That's $2.30 per sqft. That equates to $57.41 for a 5x5 for comparison. So, not way higher. My first set of subs was with 4/8 because I had done all of my Cutlist work for that. Once I realized the ...

1/2" Baltic Birch 5x5 - $44.39 in San Antonio.

Get an E-Bike. You still pedal for the exercise, using just enough electric assist to keep it comfortable, especially on hills. I ride mine 2k miles a year. If go to the store it's on my bike, going to the doctor, dentist optometrist, whatever. I'm about to head out now for my daily ten mile ride. ...

Great looking build. But, those 48s are monsters...even the slim ones. Glad I get the low end I need from my 39s.

But, it really was hot and I truly lost 6 pounds from the time the left til I got back home 7 hours later. More fun, and way cheaper than GLP-1's, Bruce! :P Well, gotta' fess up.....been on Zepbound for 10 months. Down 25 pounds. Tried to do it the old-fashioned way, but at almost 69 and a bad back...
