Well, what are the new shoes. I have the same problem😊

Out of curiosity are the musicians using XVives U4 IEMs? We’ve had musicians experience similar issues when using xvives. We’ve seen very dodgy performance from them when multiple units are used at the same time. There are only so many channels… Also as others mentioned the volume knob location is problematic on those.

I’ve come to really enjoy using a Beta 91A inside the kick. As you say bad cables can give you grief but they seem to require less EQ to get what you need. Thanks for another great video. 🤘🖖👍

he is the most disrespectful man towards Stacey, its crazy how rude he is.

I liked how you guys took turns sneaking up on each other. I'm glad that you both had a good gig besides the unknown location and the weather and the clients of the gig.

Bummer that the two bands couldn't share backline or drums! We just did a 3 band show and mandated the first two bands use the last band's kit but could bring their own snare and cymbals - reduced changeover time to 15 min. But here with such different bands and layouts not really possible... Gotta roll with the changes... If it's the hypercardioid mic I'm thinking of, it has great gain before feedback - but you have to be eating the mic constantly, vs. more forgiving other mics. Our female singer bought one of those, and had her return it after 1 show. SM58 worked way better... The AT PRO37 is inexpensive used, but does well as an OH or HH small condenser in case one of the Octava's ever goes down. Super small and affordable used.

I'm a sax player (obviously by my avatar). They are quite picky as to what bell mounted mics actually work well (especially lower priced ones). Myers Pickups bell mics are awesome, as are Audio Technica. Where they're placed on the bell, and what direction they face the sax, is huge too! Some sax players don't have a clue on that either. But they need to be pointed between the bell and stack keys. Clipping it on the side of the bell lip, not the front (side towards audience), usually works best. I use a Myers on my curved Soprano sax and my flute, but use a neck pickup micro mic, called an Intramic, made by Viga Musictools out of France, on Alto, Tenor, and Bari saxes. This setup has all the warmth of a bell mic, with all the feedback rejection of a Piezo!

I wish I had the opportunity to mix this style of band! This is awesome.

Thanks again S&B for sharing - wonderful location, great weather and happy crowd. Bonus = parking spot. One thing that dawned on me (in this digital age) is the use of scenes for shows. As you have a handful of bands you mix for regularly, do you have preset scenes for each band which are used in repeated shows, even if there are small adjustments required because of local acoustics, etc? And if so, do you have one scene for "indoor" gigs and a second one for "outside" gigs to help with the setup of each show?

Curious what measurement scale you used for the decibel readings? A or C?

Do you already used a Audix D6 microphone for kick ? It is a very interesting microphone for low frequencies

Did he say ruf

Modern sound systems are superior to the old point source systems of the past. I had one guy in a band tell me on an outdoor gig "that ain't enough PA for this gig!". In the end, we actually had to TURN DOWN the volume! I use LD Systems Maui44 and Turbosound IP3000 towers. Haven't used point source speakers for mains in over 15 years! And yes, I have the 901 boundry mic as well. Don't often use it but it works great if you don't have XLR issues!

Hey guys how are you doing as far as the business

Is the singer with issues sure that their in ears are fitted correctly?? Could be just slipping around in their ears while singing, which can sound like volume changing when it's really just the fit.

It’s always very interesting and instructive to see how The Sound Couple approaches a venue where they have not previously had the opportunity of providing production services. This video is no exception. From making arrangements to drive closer to the actual venue, to setting up equipment when the possibility looms that there might be rain, to determining how power will be provided, as is consistently the case, Bart and Stacy teach us a variety of helpful tips and techniques. Thanks to The Sound Couple for once again taking us along for the gig at this truly delightful venue. We appreciate the opportunity to learn from you both how to improve our own production capabilities.

Awesome video guys! Recently my friend bought a Presonus 32SC for bigger shows this summer and it’s great and I tried on mixing a band with it and it’s great and I’m going to pick up myself a 32sc soon and the routing for stage box is confusing for me a little bit so are you going to make a video on stage box routing soon!

another great video. There are two pet peeves that I have as a sound person. 1 happened here. When a band member puts a mic up to an instrument or amp (in this case the little melodica the horn guy was playing.) To me, the band member is assuming it is not being heard out front. It is indirectly questioning the job youre doing. Im sure no harm was meant but its just one of those things. The other is when a lead singer asks after a song or two, "can you hear us out there? everything sound ok" its another way of questioning your skills. I dont know, maybe im reading into it too much. Love your videos. I know how hard they are to make while you are working the gig.

Who provides AC power for the band and backline on these gigs? Do you give them quad boxes/extension cords or do they bring their own?

Back in my day sound engineers did not use iPads

Amazing

Not true about ipads.

One thing i noticed about the wireless rack shown @ 16:05 is that the band really should invest into combiners for their IEM and a better antenna. Most bands (and i feel guilty too) just set up their wireless racks with the antennas that came in the package and hope for the best. A good frequency coordination before soundcheck is key to success. I invested in a simple 16 port switch and connected all of our wireless gear to it. (4x Shure QLXD4 and 6x Sennheiser EW IEM G4) for better coordination. Once they're in the network you can monitor the devices with their respective software (Shure = WirelessWorkBench, Sennheiser = Wireless Systems Manager) lets you coordinate frequencies and even plan ahead. (Some locations may have scans done in the past that you / bands can use to determine problematic frequencies, tv channels whatsoever). If that doesn't help, a combiner (for inears) and a splitter (for multiple wireless microphones) is a must. + a good antenna.

The issue with volume changes in the IEMs might be due to the volume knob on the pack getting moved. If I'm wearing a jacket or shirt that brushes against the volume knob, it can turn it up or down when I dance to the beat. It's very easy for fabric to move the knob. The first time it happened, I thought someone was messing with me, but it was just my shirt! It's really bad if I am wearing a jacket when I perform.

first off... Sound is great !

QSC KLA's over QSC Subs. Two KLA's and two subs per side I use. Next I want Danley 🙂 I use an adapter to raise stack more up facing the crowd more. KLangler... check it out, might be handy for you guys also.

Do you find the bottom cab is to much pointed to the ground ?

Hello, good morning 😂😂😂 congratulations. I ask what microphone do you use for the conga?

Your system has a great sounding range. From what i can hear thru the video you're not loosing much low end or highs when walking up on the grass. I'm really looking forward to buy the exact PA just based from your videos and insights. Thanks for sharing your work <3

Also, your thoughts on placing the mains? Does it make a difference if the mains were placed in front of the pavilion columns rather than to the insides?

Why is that? Singers don’t memorize their words any longer?’ Back in the day, that was a big deal, no cheat sheets.

Nice body cam.. just little bit cloudy view.. but its ok.. nice.

🇧🇷👍🏻

Hi Bart i need to know how are the equipment in the rack connected with each other. Other words i need to know the schematic of how the equipment are connected together

super band super sound engineering.

That PA has GREAT coverage. Outstanding work!

Nicely done! I did see another tip where they clamped a foil heat blanket under their pop-up to keep it even cooler - definitely taking that idea. What iPhone app are you using that's showing peak and average? We had a gig where we had to be at 85 at 100' (! yes, we weren't told until band started playing). would be helpful to show average vs. peak...

Bart Can Sing !

How long is your speaker pole for the subs?

5:50 made my day somehow 😀 Bart chasing the sub in Timelapse 😀

I used to do sooo many gigs like this....hotels with never ending pushes. I live in a very rural area now, we dont have hotels out here! I do completely different types of gigs out here, far less music...which I am fine with. I do church stuff, school stuff, conferences, rodeos, auctions, parades, expos, etc... and a little music. But Im home for dinner a lot more often these days, compared to the days of doing mostly corporate party bands. I will be 53 next month, I have been doing sound for a living, for 35 years. About a year ago I began selling off some of my bigger stuff, and have begun replacing it with some smaller lighter stuff. Most of the gigs I do now, I do by myself...so its getting to that time in life where I cant just schlep all the big heavy stuff, all the time, as well as I used to. But honestly, the smaller stuff is making as much or more money than the bigger stuff. The non music related gigs pay a little better, and are typically less stressful...and they dont go until the wee hours of the morning!

The keyboard player using an extra keyboard stand to have the wedge closer to them is genius...

Thank you for informative content. The "school of hard knocks" visual experience and expertise is invaluable. One novice question though... why didn't you leave the sub on the ground as the stage is quite high and all...... thanks and keep it up.

Great video Bart and Stacy! I would really like to know what kind of stage that was and if it was good in your opinion. I am in the market for a trailer stage.

Love this. I had Audiopile cases but same issue - too big for some shows. vs 2-3 tubs with lids.

Putting those peavey speakers on the truss like they did in the venue scares the hell out of me!

The sound couple is so stinking cute!

Once again, The Sound Couple illustrates how to excel as production professionals. Thanks for all the great tips.

Thanks for the video! Where can I buy a power distribution box like this?

As much as i love the longer Videos, these short Videos are really great!
