    Building a Mixing Desk

    If you want a good electronics project that is small, easy to build, and teaches you quite a bit about audio electronics, I would suggest starting with pocket headphone amplifiers.I built this pocket headphone amplifier as one of my first electronics projects. If you look into the circuitry...

    Can you set individual channel Levels with ETC Midi.

    Thats actually pretty genious. I think my plan is that i'm going to write about 15-18 macros that will do everything. Instead of making one macro per channel, I think I am going to write the program recursively, so it will keep hitting the (plus) button until it gets to the channel it wants...

    Can you set individual channel Levels with ETC Midi.

    First off - GADZOOKS I havent been on this forum for ages. I'm bad at keeping up with forums, what can I say.My question is simple. My Highschool has an Express 48/96, and i've been meddling with Midi control of the console. I have cue changes, macro fires, and submaster control all figured...

    Techie Messenger Bag

    Techie Messenger Bag

    I appreciate all of your suggestions! The only frustrating thing when shopping online is that none of the retailers have pictures showing the insides of the bags, or the pockets! Perhaps i am being too picky.......

    Techie Messenger Bag

    Perhaps i should have rephrased my first post. I actually dont carry THAT many long cables. I have one 50 FT XLR cable for emergencies, and the rest are 25 FT headphone extentions, 10FT male/male 1/8" ETC.... I dont do any road trips at all here. The reason why I was going for a messenger...

    Floor Mics

    JBL main mix speakers are mounted about 12Ft off the floor, about 2-3 ft PAST the edge of the stage (and hence 2-3 ft AWAY from the PCC 160's. During theatrical stuff, I usually keep the main mix speakers at 3/4 to 1/2 level on the condenser mics, and leave it up for the effx and music. The...

    Floor Mics

    Hmmm. Yea, I am eagerly searching for ways to get even better gain-before-feedback from our system, which relies mostly on the Crown 160 boundary mics. Highschool plays come across fine, with plenty of gain, but middleschool shows are a serious problem, because we cannot get enough gain into...

    Floor Mics

    I betchya its too close to create phase problems. Phasing problems often occurr with more latency, and bounce screens have negledgable latency.

    Floor Mics

    That looks absolutely wicked! what material is the bounce screen, and where did you get it from? Does the screen have any impact on the amount of gain-before-feedback? DO you have a picture of it from the house?

    Don't ask for a house speaker mic while recording a concert

    Re: Don't ask for a house speaker mic while recording a conc Odd indeed.... TRY THIS: 1) Turn all of the auxes on one of your channels to the midway point. 2) Make sure that ALL of the buttons next to the faders are depressed. (You know, the ones that say 1-2, 3-4 and LR. Those assign...

    Re: Don't ask for a house speaker mic while recording a concHeh, I can agree with you on THAT one.... Usually our school is good about telling us what is needed for each assembly, but its those 'surprises' that keep you on your toes. I especially loved this one preformance where the guest...
