    Using XLR and TRS outputs at the same time???

    I like to record shows that I do so that I can go back and critique my mixing. I normally connect my recording equipment to a matrix that has the main feed on my console. My problem is the show I'm currently doing relies heavily use of an effects processor that is after my board and my...

    Boundary Mic's on Tables

    I moved the microphones as close as possible to the downstage edge of the table and that really helped a lot. Since it was all scripted I only had one on at a time but for some reason the center one still sounded funny (maybe because the center people where taller and thus above the 60 degree...

    silhouette dancers

    I did a show with Pilobolus and for this dance they used a powerful projector plugged into a Mac book. I don't remember what kind of projector it was but it was a PIA because it required two phase power and took 2 people to lift.Edit: here is a picture of the projector they used.

    Boundary Mic's on Tables

    Yepp, but I still had problems.Thanks for pointing that out! Horizontally the people are almost dead on because there are only 2 people per mic, but vertically I think they are pretty close to 60 degrees. I'll try to make sure that the microphones are closer to the edge of the table.Thanks!!!

    Boundary Mic's on Tables

    Boundary Mic's on Tables

    I'm running sound for an event tomorrow that involves 6 people sitting at a long table. For the tech rehearsal today I set up 3 boundary mics spaced evenly along the table. I don't remember the exact model number but they looked just like this one: Audio-Technica U851CW Cardioid Condenser...

    "Bi**hy" Stage Manager Voice Effect?

    I guess I should explain. None of the actors moved when my stage manager called places before rehearsal tonight, and the technical director said to her "your problem is that your voice isn't bitc*y enough!", so I thought it would be hilarious if tomorrow she suddenly had a b*tchy voice.

    "Bi**hy" Stage Manager Voice Effect?

    Does anyone know of an effect on the Behringer Visualizer Pro to make a stage manger sound more bi*chy?

    Power Conditioner

    My school has one power conditioner, would it be better to place the power conditioner in the booth to run the board, eq, cd player, wireless mic receivers.... or backstage to run the amp?

    Sound guy doing light show :O

    Thanks for all the advice!A couple questions:Do I record the show as a series of cues connected by follow's or is it possible to have complex cues (1-7 @ FL then after .5 secound's 8-10 @ FL......)?Can I somehow link the start of the music to the start of the show?Can I transfer cue's...
