    Anything that has a browser, which is any table/phone I guess. 

    With our Soundcraft we've used iphone, ipad, android phone and tablet, Amazon fire, Apple laptop. You get the drift. 

    I'd recommend at least a 10" screen as it can get fiddly using your finger on a small screen. But as there's no processing (it's just a browser window) you don't need to go expensive. 

    As has been mentioned, the wifi can be a bit intermittent so we run a separate router. 

    Like you, I have a Soundcraft (Ui24r), which as you say is browser based, so tablet/phone agnostic (so long as it is not totally ancient). However, the Behringers need an app to interact with it rather than via browser, so age and type of tablet is a little more important.

    Glad it is working, I’m still slightly surprised by mine when I crank it. Another outing for it tonight as it happens. 
     

    I need to get on with the Eight and a finalised design.

    ...and I still need to get the 8" drawings sorted for you!

     

     

    Stain fading question

    Crimson have some videos demonstrating how to do bursts with stains, and I'd imagine the principle is the same - you can always sand back it it doesn't look right. I would suggest having a play with some scrap wood.

    Trampa v3 - DIY MIDI Controller

    This looks really interesting. I have a Dwarf on the way - as a super early bird adopter, I chose to be in the last tier for delivery, so got caught in the collapse.... haven't stumped up the extra to get it sooner as yet...

     

    However, with all these multi FX devices like the Dwarf and HX stomp, all I really want it is a way to be able to jump between a few set "sounds" - so an additional controller like this looks like just the job for gigging use. Watching with great interest!

    Yep, they’re great if you don’t already have a drum mic setup. If you have, they’re probably a better bet in the long term. 

    I do have drum mics, and have been thinking of adding a kick mic to get a better kick sound from the recordings, but the EAD10 is sooooooo easy - and on a small stage space, the lack of extra mic stands is a real boon as well! The recordings are only for us to listen back to for reference as to how terribly we played. Here's an example recording - I have to admit I don't spend ages tweaking the mix or anything, just set the levels roughly in Reaper for the whole set, then export one track at a time. As you'll hear, the drum sound isn't brilliant - but I don't think we have explored the EAD10's capabilities that much yet - but it certainly works for being able to hear.

    If he likes spending money, the Yamaha EAD10 is an all in one mic/monitoring solution. 

    I was going to mention that (but hesitated due to the cost). Our drummer has one, and it works surprisingly well. I multitrack record our gigs via the mixer, and the only drum monitoring we have is the EAD10. We also use the feed from it through the PA to add a bit of oomph to the overall sound.

    Do audiences really want Xmas songs at Xmas parties / Dec pub gigs and does your covers band oblige?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    On Saturday we had a gig, and had run through Merry Xmas Everybody a couple of times "just in case". We got to the end of the second set, so I asked the audience who wanted a Christmas song - the resounding answer was "no" - so I told them they were getting a Christmas Number one hit anyway - and we launched into Killing In The Name (our usual closer) - which went down a treat. 

     

    Had the reaction been more positive, we would have busked through the Slade song as well, but Killing acted as a good backstop :)

    I'm not sure if @RichardH has the same speaker I have at the moment but mine has the the Faital and one on its own gives you a real punch in the stomach. I'll have a better look at that and see what I come up with. 

     

     

    No, it's actually a non-neo driver - I don't know the exact driver - though he did say it's a discontinued driver (it's not a Beyma) so it's kind of academic. 4" voice coil on it though - a real beast.

    Basschat 2x12

    Posted · Edited by RichardH

    At the moment I am borrowing a cab From Stevie - it is a tweaked version of the Basschat 112 - the driver in it is stupendous. I used to have a GK NEOX 212. I reckon this 1x12 could keep up with it. Played a pub gig with it a couple of weeks ago and had my amp (Genzler Magellan 800) on about 9 o'clock - PA was only for vox and guitars. It has made me realise that I very much doubt I need more than a similarly potent 1x12!
