When using the matrix you can adjust the aux level (for your que) without it having any effect on the level going to the musician. And you can adjust the level going to the musician without it having any effect on what you hear. You could also put a master eq on the matrix if the musician would like some strange eq to compensate for the IEMs or something without it having any effect on what you hear. It's absolutely not necessary, but it gives you a few more features.

Not once in 30 years. It has been close a few times :) I've had mixers die, stageboxes burned, power failure, rain (oh the rain ...), beers in gear, 5G antenna interference ... But there is always a show :)

I've been pretty conservative with the settings so far. And only just used it for FOH, not on anything going to monitors. But so far there has not been any issues.

Thanks for sharing. IEMs are great, sometimes. Wedges sometimes. I just did a few shows with swing bands. If I had suggested IEMs I would have been fired 😅 What’s great is that these days there are solutions for every situation and preference.

I think the wireless control dies of the host lose connection since it's just a mirror of the host. However I have another redundant solution coming up so stay tuned.

@joevegna Awesome! Cant wait to tune in and see what it is.

First: The only thing that has changed from the diagram is that the foh server now is connected to the main switch (center image). If you always have the same setup it would make sense to just have one switch on the stage. But since we do a lot of different setups for different shows we always do it as shown in the diagram. About gain master: When setting up, the first console to add a stagebox becomes the gain master. No matter where it's located. Normally we add all stageboxes to the monitor console and then share it to the foh. But you can do it the other way around as well. So to make it as simple as possible you would have just 2 switches. One on stage for all servers, IO and monitor host. One on foh for virtual soundcheck, foh host, foh IO, smaart/tract. However ... I have some updates I will share shortly. Everything above is still true, but with some extra features.

Since the release of emo iem we have not been touring. For one offs it’s a bit faster with traditional stereo.

@ plans to try it next tour?

Yes I have a tour this spring where we will try it. And hopefully more to come.

Hope you got some inspiration 😀

Thanks for saying that, appreciate it. Let me know if you have any questions about it.

That’s exactly what I do!

And sometimes that’s how Filip does it. This is just a starting point. Sending everything post wold effect everyone if you do fader moves. That’s not always great. So often it’s a combination of pre and post.

Absolutely right. If you have more than 8 monitor systems going you have to skip the matrix part of it. Everything else can still be in play though. We've done this a few times lately. And if everyone has the patience to trust the process it's remarkably fast.

Filip does the mix for the musicians while I mix FOH. So musicians don’t have to do anything. If someone would prefer, we offer iPads.

Yes, sidechaining is a cool little trick that can be used in a lot of different ways. Glad you like it and thanks for watching.

Well there are a lot of ways to skin a cat. You obviously put som effort into this to find a way that works for you. I agree that something close to the Lácoustic curve is the way to aim for. Right now I only use Tract as an EQ, I don't import anything from Smaart. I find it easier to do my measurements in Smaart, try to make some sense from the data and then apply EQ as I see fit. Nice to get some other perspective. Thanks for sharing.

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching

Thanks for the report. That’s interesting. I’ve never come across this but have not connected/disconnected things the way you described. Perhaps someone else??? My first guess would be that it’s a network problem, not a software problem. Do you use static IP addresses?

@joevegna i used DHCP Mode and ive already done a request to Waves support and they said that this is the only approved way to do it.

Hi! The steel box is 4kg empty. The edge strip can be found on Amazon or any car parts store. Search "U Shape Seal Edge Strip"

@ Thanks you for tips !

Nope. A good feature request though.

you cannot be serious

It works well for some stuff. A nice tool to have for sure.

@@TECHNICKER_Cz 100%

Oh yeah! As with most compressors when you spank them.

@joevegna for sure playing with this tonight in a mix. You have to be very light handed with this. It kills and thins a mix easier than it help it. This is something that should be used very carefully. I like what it does , but hate how it does it 🤣 if that makes sense. I found the mix to very very articulate and punchy. But it loses a lot of its ass

You are 100% right. It’s easy to overcook things with this boiler.

Oh, have not tried that one. Will check it out.

There is a Live-Version of IDX which is zero-latency.

You are way too kind 😍

An analogue of Soothe2 would be rather Waves Curves Equator i think

Yes I think Curves EQ is more similar to Soothe. This is compression rather than eq.

pretty great for a FREE plugin right?

I would describe it more like a mega-multi-band-compressor.

Any time! 😀

I have the Ionic16 and have toured with it since day one. Not a single hiccup or error. Rock solid. So I bought the Ionic 24 as well. So as far as I can tell everything is top notch.

@@joevegna Cool, that sounds good, thank you very much! Would be nice if the launch a 1ru version for foh.

And that’s why we have the mix knob 😎

Pink only send left or right will work with TF measurements, right? And sent to both L/R will help with EQ correction curve? Please, correct me if I’m wrong!!

Smarter people than me are welcome to weigh in on this. But the way I do it right now is that i only play pink in L or R. I take 3-8 measurement points, front to back, and then do an average. So far I have gotten quite good results doing it this way. But I'm sure the metode could be further developed. It's my 2025 project :)

@@joevegna your first sentence is actually the reason why I was watching your video again and came to my question. All the help and suggestions are welcome!

I need to find someone who has more experience with this and do a proper video including everything you need to know.

no, Joe is using demo version of smaart that is limited with maximum 50ms of delay compesation.

@19deadmeat87 You're right, thank you for your message. Best regards

Absolutely. I use the F6 all the time for all kinds of trickery. And if you need to sidechain the low end from one source and the high end from another just add another instance and select the sc source. The F6 is simply brilliant!!

The latency depends on your buffer size. Which depends on how many plugins you need to run. Lowest latency I have had is about 2ms.

Not from my end since I don't have Klang.

The headphone outputs are a big step up from the Tactus. We use these for wired IEM and it's great.

I haven't tried it so I can't say too much about it. I guess it's a nice box for the money. Nice with a surface with a lot of knobs and faders and stuff. I kinda miss some of that on the FIT/Classic.

I just had a listen and yes, UA-cam take away a bit of the effect. As always. But the overall feeling is there, just not the finer detail.

Ok.

I'm really impressed with the Classic console. If I were to buy a console in that range today I don't really see any competitors. It's a steal at $8k.

Thanks, appreciate it.

Not at this point. But we are working on a solution to be able to offer multitracks for this act in the future.

@@joevegna fantastico will be great to follow along and practice!

I’m ducking this question since it’s above my pay grade. The guitar in the video is in stereo. So you can hear how it behaves. Someone else might have better knowledge on what’s actually going on.

Thanks for watching 😎

​@@joevegnaMy pleasure

Good question. Haven’t had a look but an educated guess is: Not much.

That’s great!

I can’t share the multitracks but we are working on a solution for this. Meanwhile you can check out the studio versions here: ua-cam.com/video/P81jxzlquaY/v-deo.htmlsi=Vd7p2dfLq8A6zo3i

And have to say if i hearing it again and again. I stick with Stereo which is sagnificat more "present and clean" in my ears. I know that imerssive means ""shifting the phase and eq" but this is something what i dont like in my ears. I think the correct wayt to do that is compare same mixes ALL channels on "mono/center" position and compare how just enabling the new IEM mode change the sound. In fact i think there is no reason to "change" how it sounds if you are on same "panning" in both modes

It’s one thing to sit at home and listen, but the interesting thing is how musicians like it in a live situation. Is the added separation worth it? We’ll just have to try it live I guess.

It’s absolutely possible to get a better mix than what I show in the video. But I agree, Klang is another level. With another price tag.

It’s a recording from the last tour with Stonemountain Orchestra. A cover of Tattoo with Loreen. You can check out the studio version here: ua-cam.com/video/P81jxzlquaY/v-deo.htmlsi=j0igcGqSAEU81gKw

Yes it should be possible to implement. To me the ”distance” parameter is higher on the wishlist though. Ideally both. We’ll just have to wait and see what Waves come up with.
