  1. [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1455566363' post='2980324'] It has already happened! The 'Djent' metal bands tend to use modelling and profiling amps now. You either get that tone with a 5150 set to a very specific set of parameters and mic'd a very specific way, or you use a gadget to model that tone exactly accurately and then send it to the PA. [/quote] Are they endorsing the di and modelling kit for live use though, we are still being sold this idea of big amps on stage even when the performers are clearly running all in ears, plenty of people are still buying amps and cabs by brand X because certain players are stood in front of them in a magazine shoot.
  2. It's called "the grass is greener on the other side" Blue, I'm sure the americans laugh at us limeys lapping up cowboy and indian novelties made in Thailand just the same?
  3. You can see the DNA, I hope you can hear it too!
  4. I try and crab a few minutes here and there as the day goes on.
  5. But there are plenty of people still alive that grew up with them and with disposable income available to spend on standing in a replica cavern isn't there? That won't be true in a few years time.
  6. I'm sure there will always be a place fire the nostalgia but will there be as much interest in ten,twenty or thirty years time? I know there is always "my son loves the Beatles " blah blah but generally the next generation aren't that bothered are they?
  7. Still learning how to work mine but so far its awesome! Paired with high end powered speakers and its one hell of a pa in three boxes.
  8. I'm surprised he hasn't been here flexing his jaw mussels yet?
  9. Once you've set it up once it will save loads of time at each gig. I know a guy who has three flight cases, mixer, iem receivers, wireless mic and instrument receivers. As the whole band are on in ears the mix is the same at every gig, plug it in, turn it on and set the volume for the venue,worst case scenario the foh eq needs adjusting to suit,that's it.
  10. At the end of the day we've heard all about these massive festival gigs only to find out they were nothing but dinghy pubs like the rest of us small fry play in!
  11. [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1455480284' post='2979507'] . . . and you can adjust the monitors from the stage. [/quote] The xair allows 4 people onto the in built wifi hot spot and you can have different levels of access so you can have overall control for the person that normally does (drummer in my function band, singer in my pub trio) then give 3 more people access to their own monitor mix or in ears if they use them, that also makes a mix of in ears and non in ears players able to play together too.
  12. In a few years time non digital mixers with or without wifi control will be resigned to rehearsal rooms forever. I have a Behringer xair and a 10.2 galaxy tab, RCF 735 cabs, db monitors. This gives; A huge range of FX, 31 Band EQ for FOH, each monitor mix (4 independent mixes), and more 31 band eqs in the FX slots. Gated and compressed kick drum, Wireless mix from anywhere in the venue, 4 speakers and some xlr leads give us a 2800 watt pa in ten minutes! Each band and each venue once mixed can be saved and reloaded everytime you play there so once you have some basic sttings uploaded, perhaps put aside a full practice just once and from then on a small tweek to suit each gig, save and you are done, if you go back a year later, load the venue and voila! Awesome box smaller than a shoe box!!!
  13. He's definitely floating around other parts of the forum.
  14. [quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1455447081' post='2979090'] I guess the Beatles weren't "in this" after 1966 either? Your trolling has become as predictable as it is tedious. [/quote] I made that post earlier,still awaiting a reply
