All, Thanks for the discussion, things are going better. While adjusting the equalization for each performer, I was getting some high frequency (~8kHz and above) despite having these frequencies heavily attenuated with the onboard digital LPF's. However, when I reset and started again...

Let me tell you how I approach EQing and ringing out the system. I start with all graphic EQ's leveled out in the middle positions. I work on monitor placement and aiming, but I am limited as to where I can put things. The monitors in this case are placed along the downstage edge of the...

Onstage wedges are getting the piano and vocals folded back to the actors. I am working with a Yamaha 01V96 digital board. No, I don't run the channels at full, and you are correct, there is no monitor desk. The mics are Sennheiser EW100 G2 body packs with ME2 elements. I'm not a huge fan...

All, I am looking for suggestions and techniques people use to ring out/EQ an onstage monitor system and a FOH system. Do you do the FOH system separately, followed by the onstage monitor system separately then them both together? Or is it better to do them all at once? Last week, I...

@WooferHound & avare: I agree, except the feedback was hitting when I reduced the threshold without turning up the gain elsewhere, that's why its so confusing. @Dave, I may send you a Studio Manager file if things persists. To all - I think I found what might be going on. The compressor...

Hi everyone. I'm working a show right now running a Yamaha 01V96 digital board with onboard (digital) compression. I'm working on dialing in the gain lineups for the wireless mics we are using (Sennheisers EW100 G2 with ME2 elements, which are not my favorite elements). However, when I...

Hi Dave, Yes, I could adjust the main speakers, but they have been tuned for the room/flat response. I have done this at other venues, but it does open up the worms, especially if you have sound effects that need playing back. If I adjust the speakers for my mic mix (which is what I am...

I agree, the broadway recording had a lot more processing power than I have available. Comparing monitor mix to the space, there is a difference, the space is more lively, even with my EQ's in place. In regards to the parametric EQ's, I have 4 on each mic via the LS9's input channels, but...

Do you mean better feedback control? How many bands did the parametric EQ have? I am assuming you had to use high-Q's to really narrow in? I thought a 31 band grapic EQ had the best resolution?John

Hi Dave, Yes, reminding the producer that the broadway recording was mastered in a studio was the first comment when he gave me the CD. You can hear a fair amount of effects on it to richen the sound. As for the mics, I am unfortunately having to use one of my least favorite lavs, the...

Actually, no, the music is live rehersals. Although, the LS9 has allowed me to record the direct outputs (pre-EQ, pre-HPF, pre-everything) to a USB thumb drive. I've been recording individual solos during rehersals then using that material as a playback to do mixing/EQing when I don't have...

LPF's and HPF's at both levels. I will try opening these up a bit and see what happens.

There is no feedback eliminator/destroyer in the setup, just a graphic EQ. I have a good EQ, and don't really want to add any more of low end back in because it starts to sound muddy. May be able to add high end back in some for 'sweetness', but that's it.

Send to FX's come on a per channel bases, pre-EQ pot sends to a seperate mix, with the returning wet signal mixed back into the overall main mix at the stereo L/R point, i.e. last mix point before exiting board for PA's and speakers. '

Hi everyone! I have been doing sound engineering semi-professionally for live musicals now for a number of years (OK, on and off for over 20...) and I seem to have plateaued in my skills. I no problems with equipment, setup, or basic equalization, and getting a good sound, but am looking for...
