The SC: Mid-Summer Cooldown!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- We needed a break from the hot summer sun and decided to go back and cool down with a gig we did back in January of 2024! This was a cold day with temperature dropping below 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
The snow and cold always creates an added extra layer of complexity....combine that with a venue with multiple entry's....even a more simple gig can take a bit out of you. And oh yeah...we can move furniture and work around a karaoke system too!
We hope you enjoy!
The Sound Couple primarily use PreSonus gear featuring:
PreSonus UC Surface
PreSonus CDL12
PreSonus CDL18s
PreSonus 32R
PreSonus SW5E
PreSonus NSB Stageboxes
PreSonus AVB-D16
Please see our "About" for a more comprehensive list of gear we use.

Nice sounding PA system and nice job on the lights. I am a lighting enthusiasts. Two ideas I had for winter time and in general. One is invest in the power + Bristle Brush head system by Ego. They also have a snow shovel attachment. You can quickly push the snow out of the way. Also for more all season I would in your shoes look at the Boundless Carrier system. A bit expensive but you can lock it to prevent theft and it helps for the sub and speakers amp rack. I hope you have many more successful gigs along with good health and luck. :)
Thank you for the suggestions.....you would hope that the venues would take care of all of the snow removal needed to support their bands. Thankfully, not a lot of snow this time, but it's probably safe to conclude that the back deck, which is right behind the rear stage and provides the most convenient access to the stage, is not part of their snow removal strategy. Yes, we can use that back door as well, but we are working on very slim margins for these types of gigs and every unnecessary obstacle counts as to whether or not these make sense for us....these are definitely factors we take into account as to whether we come back for future gigs.
@@thesoundcoupleTrue those factors do play in when rating and future business. I like to be like a boyscout and be prepared for most any weather conditions. As they say "The show must go on." As long as things go well and the client is happy that is what matters. Maybe one day you can have a in person chat or at least a video call to explain about the snow on that side. Often they don't think or don't know the issues till you bring it to there attention. Also explaining the trip and fall and being held liable for injury or property damage gets a fire under them to get changes in place. :)
W you guys are going to out in the cold you Guys are the best❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Great video! :) Cheers from Canada @TheSoundCouple
Thanks so much!
just as i sit to have breakfast i notice the sound couple upload another video tyvm keep up the excellent work!
Our pleasure!
U always inspire me and I just love what you do. Awesome and excellent work as always
Very kind of you...we try our best!
As always, worth the wait! Those In and Out "No Issues" gigs are few and far between Glad you had one on such a cold night. Been retired for 15 years and living in Florida now... no more snow and sub zero temps! Don't have to shovel sunshine! Love your videos - keep 'em coming!
Yes...but have heard that the Florida heat and humidity is something else in the summer!
Its winter here (now) as I watch this post and all I have to complain about is some rain and a little wind - but when I watch you in the snow - my, you make me feel so cold. My visits to the US were only in the Spring or Summer, from Maine to Illinois, through Kentucky down to Florida & across to California via Louisiana and Texas. Many great stops and lots of great people. But times are sure crazy now.
Winter here can be tame too, depending on the year. It’s definitely the cold that gets to you though!
I always watch your content. I love sound system, it's my passion. From Philipines 😊
Appreciate you checking in with us Ernest! Thanks for watching!
I love sound from india ❤
Amazing dedication to the job.
We aim to try our best at every gig!
Thanks for the cool reminder.
We choose this one when Stacy was complaining about how hot it was!
@@thesoundcouple Perfect!
"Working harder, not smarter"? Is that the new theme for The Sound Couple? Of course not! Bart and Stacy do their usual and most professional job at providing production services at this bar gig. Thanks for allowing us to come along for the learning. We see The Sound Couple deal with numerous challenges and they overcome them in a most excellent way. Finding other equipment in the way is the least of their issues. Leaving plenty of time to meet such challenges is a good lesson for all of us.
Glad you enjoyed it Dean! Hope you are doing well and thank you for your continued support and motivation you provide us to our videos!
Great episode!
Thank you...glad you liked it!
Me and my husband EVERY week! 😅😂
Happy to know we’re not the only ones!
How are you? That's a lot of work. I would grab a couple Meyer speakers and a sub to expensive but you wouldn't need all this stuff. I do sound myself. They were great. The vocals are tremendous. It would be a great upgrade from what you got. Check them out.
Thank you for the suggestion....there a lot of great speakers to choose from for sure!
I’m almost waiting for some commenters to go “Snow in July, is the weather that different in your area?”
We know...it wouldn't be the first time...placing the banner up front has helped. We just needed a break from the summer heat!
I do the same thing when setting monitors.
What do you do?
Thanks for another interesting video. I wondered why you had the Trax channel phase inverted.
I didn't see phase inverted. Only thing was stereo link.
We had phase enable for hi-hat channel, but not for the Trax. You may have been looking at the stereo link?
Thanks. My mistake
@@chippypil0t No worries...we appreciate viewers that look close to what is going on. We have learned a lot from people pointing things out!
16:50 - it would be nice to see the video full of your mixing. It is a great chance and interest for beginners. And nobody did it on youtube!
We agree! This is a very sore topic for us as we were able to provide more of these educational aspects in our earlier videos and we really enjoyed that. Fast forward to today, and it is very difficult for us to even get our videos posted with monetization with the footage you are seeing. UA-cam catches just about anything...if you even burp a lyric of song, UA-cam will demonetize it (they are now able to catch songs being "covered" by live bands)....so every video we post is preludes with a game of multiple uploads where we end up chopping our videos to we find something that beats the system...very frustrating and time consuming....this is why you probably see less of these types of posts. You can do revenue sharing, but you take a severe hit and some music will simply deny you and the entire video is ineligible for revenue...period. A small channel like ours simply can't absorb these kinds of hits...trust us, we are not doing this for the money. It takes tens of thousands of views to start getting into "real money". Our channel fills the gas tank....and the time and effort we put into it is because we love what we do!
We understand that there is another side to this and we don't want to mess with what artists, bands and songwriters are entitled too, but there has to be a better way....I think we have been a bigger help to them than a determent to promoting music. We are currently working on a video for a local emerging artist...unfortunately, they allow no revenue sharing so most of their material will likely be cut out of our video..so they just lost out of potentially thousands of people being exposed to their music....their loss in our opinion
Apologies for the long post, but we too are struggling on how to figure it out...we want our channel to be more about just setups and tear downs.....gigs are what we do and the the music is a big part of it and we are severely crippled and need to figure out how to deal with it. If you would like to see some of our videos that hit more on your question, here are some links!

I miss you so much, I missed your presence :((
Thank you! Plenty in the works!
love the video question is where did you run your snake cable ? Im always looking for better ideas on how to run that thing in smaller clubs dealing with people loading out.
We ran it along the wall from stage right. You’re right though, not always a fun job. Even thinking about how we’ve run it in these gigs… 😆

The shit we do ... Put That on a t shirt and sell that to the sound tech community !! I say that at every gig
That is too funny! There may be something here..that's for sure!
6° no thanks..that the part of sucks in this business..great job
It does suck, but manageable when you are moving!
Hello Bart, sorry that this question is not about this video but I need some of your expertise. I can buy a nice clean secondhand Studiolive16 for a good price (1000 euros) and my question is: Is there anything that you advice against it, it's offcourse the old version of the newer Studiolive 32sc (scribble strips and different layout of the fatchannel knobs). Is it stable in use, avb networking remote etc..?
I would not hesitate...The additional scribble strips are nice and there technically no difference between the two beyond that. Don't quote me on this, but it is my understanding that they stripped down refreshed models simply to bring the cost down for tariff considerations.
@@thesoundcouple Thanks for the advice and your time.
@@hadraai No problem!
How do the settings that you get when you soundcheck on the iPad get to the console?
Integrated wifi, directly to mixer from wireless devices. Most people will use a router for a more stable connection. Which will also allow you to reach longer distances. 2.4 or 5ghz band options. Each digital mixer is a little different, but basically similar. There is a slight learning curve to setting it up. Then you have the option of downloading the software app for direct access to the mixer. I set mine up with an IP address and save to my homepage. Different ways to set it up.
Yes, all devices are connected on the computer network and the consoles support software to be able to control them. When you move a fader on the iPad, it's moving on the console as well.
@gregmcveigh9966
The sounds from the microphones do not actually go through the iPad. The iPad is a remote control that will control the mixer, like Bart has said above. But, it’s important to realize the pad is just a remote through the wireless connection . Bothe the pad and the mixer are connected to LAN ports on the router. Hope that clears up any confusion.
hi guys
