Ive emailed Lugs to see if i can get my MEE audio IEM’s re shelled. If not, well ill need to get some new ones. In the mean time, im just trying out some Spinfit CP360’s, which don't seem to bad for silicone tips. -
Well I guess we could swap an ear each, then only one of us need get the customs made 😂

Had a good gig on Sat, other than a rather silly bit of user error at the start with the mixer. The XR18 is working out well. Now got 3 of us on IEMs because of it. I am still struggling with keeping my right ear in though. Tried quite a few different foam tips. All good for a while but then comes lose. So finally going to get ear impressions made. I’ve found a place local and they charge £60. I don’t really want to spend more on new IEM’s at this stage, and really do like the MX 3 pros that I already have. So the idea is to get custom ear tips made. MEE Audio do these, but are based in the USA and to seems a long winded process. Im looking for more local recommendations. I know about the guy in Ireland, but anyone got any other suggestions? Do these companies actually do this sort of thing or do they just re house the whole lot in new shells? Cheers. Looking forward to finally having a stress free gig 😁

I like her new single, but it sounds like she recorded it while chewing gum lol. Still more musical that DH. Im sorry to those that are sticking up for her, but this is just bloody awful. The band are good, but WTF!!! This was from last weekend. No excuses like ‘well she is 107 and done a lot of gigs recently’. It’s just not entertaining. https://youtu.be/8e4t8RuN85o

Both valid opinions to those that have them, but in the second case, maybe try harder rather than quit. Make the effort needed to do the job.

I don’t think age has anything to do with if you like a band/singer or not. Other than the age could be attributing to a sub par performance. Phrases like ‘well she is 77’ don’t mean a thing. It’s like agreeing it’s below par, but then tying to justify it. I thought Robbie Williams’s was pretty poor at IOW, and that’s not an age thing and I was really looking forward to him. Still, I think we are now entering the ‘I like them and you should as well’ arguments.

I my opinion she is not very good, and makes a horrible noise. Yes, she is better than me, but i assure you it’s purely because i just don’t like her voice anymore. Ive seen Blondie many times over the year, and just as with a lot of iconic bands, people will go and see them because of who they are. The music is fine, but these old singers really do need to wake up and realise they just don’t have the magic anymore.
-
Yeah, they seem a bit more fragile compared to the Comply’s, but at that price it’s fine. I brought so many different sets of Comply’s so im trying to use those up at the moment. I do find they all seem to come loose in my right ear after a while, hence the wing tips question, but all are better than the silicone ones for me.
-
This is what happens when you get a well below average singer not taking the hint over decades of being sub par. And i am (was) a fan of Blondie. I have a live recording of Debbie’s first solo tour at the Borderline and she was only just passable then.
-
Im using these at the moment. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09L7F6D9B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
-
Yeah, I’m using them at the moment. I’m fact I found some cheaper ones that seem to last longer.
-
Yeah. I guess it’s needed more for the newer versions.
-
Does anyone use add on wing tips with their IEM’s? I know custom is the way to go, but I quite fancy trying some wing tips. I’ve recently been using my Beats Fit pro’s at the gym and love how well they stay put.

We had our first gig with the XR18 las night. Quite stressful getting it all set up as the band had never seen anything like this, and it was the first time we were fully wired up to the desk. Loads of ‘where does this go?’, ‘cant hear myself’ etc. Once all the cables were in it was plain sailing. It worked flawlessly, other than i was getting feedback from the bass (DI’ed, but im guessing it was the pup picking up the room). No sure how good the overal mix was out in the room after we had sound checked, as im sure levels went up as the night went on, but it was a good mix at soundcheck, minus the keys as i was at the back of the room. Then got my singer to take the ipad and balance me in to the mix. 3 of us now using IEM’s, and another looking on with interest. So nice hearing everyone in my ears, rather than just me and an ambient mic (although i still used one). I recorded the whole gig, via my iPad Pro and Logic. I wasn’t expecting much, but it worked flawlessly and captured everything. 17.5GB in total. And to top it all, X-Air is now working on iOS16, although i didnt use it last night. Good times ahead.

Ive ended up sending the TP-Link AC750 back, and got the GL.iNet Opal instead. The AC750 worked fine, no issues at all, but i can see the advantage of having a hard wired connection as well. Although i can connect my ipad directly to the XR18 using Ethernet, that would exclude anyone using phones for their mixes. Hopefully the Opal will be the solution. I also prefer the USB-C port over the Micro one. I did originally order the Slate plus, but the Opal seems almost as good, and more than up to this job.
-
I don’t think it can, at least not from the XR18. I tried loads of cables but there is no power coming out. I believe the XR12/16 can. Not a big deal.
-
Ah cool. Thanks for that.
-
The TP-Link arrived today and it was quite painless setting it up. It looks cool and will fit in the Gator case with the XR18. I ‘think’ im all ready to go live with the band in two weeks time (bloody Bass player decided to go on holiday). Just wondering what firmware you guys are on. I was looking on Behringer’s website and they have 1.18, but mine is 1.19. Obviously no need to update, but i was surprised that 1.19 isnt there.
-
Cheers guys. God to know im on the right path. As much as i quite fancy that GL, i think I’ll stick with a brand i know. There are a few posts about connection issues (which im sure all brands suffer from occasionally), but Ive always liked the Tp-link interface, and i like that i can power it with a USB cable. I’ll get it ordered tomorrow.

Ok, so now i need to get a wifi router. I was going to use my old Nighthawk, but it seems that its not used because its broken (bloody kids). Plenty of cheap ones on Amazon, but i quite like the idea of a small one that wotn take up much room in the gig bag. I dont intend to spend more than £50. I like the look of this one. Anyone have any thoughts? Am i better off with a full sized one? We are only playing small stages and the router will be a few foot from me most of the time. Wont be using it for anything else. https://www.amazon.co.uk/GL-iNet-GL-SFT1200-Wireless-Pocket-Sized-Repeater-White/dp/B09N72FMH5/ref=pd_lpo_sa_sccl_2/260-8215407-4110546?pd_rd_w=ZUEnj&content-id=amzn1.sym.38c75885-a11b-44e0-bdcc-565322173826&pf_rd_p=38c75885-a11b-44e0-bdcc-565322173826&pf_rd_r=WEWSWFTA90QB1C8C5QYG&pd_rd_wg=Kn3Vp&pd_rd_r=381f002f-1d13-48d7-99a2-596520e5074c&pd_rd_i=B09N72FMH5&psc=1 Also quite like the look of the TP-Link AC750. Other wise i was thinking for a TP-Link Archer C50, which i have had in the past.

Sorry, yes, that was a typo. It uses the standard private address range of 192.168.1.xxx
-
Mixing station reports it as being 192.169.1.10.
-
yeah. The ipads just seem to work without all that nonsense……normally 😁. At least with the desktop version i could get in to the network panel and see whats going on. Anyway, ive now got Mixing station all set up, and hopefully just needs a few tweaks once the band start playing through it.
-
It’s strange as the iPad one boots to a connect screen (with the demo bits at the bottom), and dorsnt go any further. The desktop one boots straight in to a mixer window with all the features displayed.
