  1. Its the sound of the room and audience you are going to be getting. Assuming that you want to hear your screaming fans! The multiple input Zooms are the one, feed from the mics... plus freed from your PA auxes.
  2. Exactly. I think a lot of people get obsessed about the idea of ambient, but in reality, most people don't miss it.
  3. Nope - I use a 125 B - but a DR Lo-Rider. Like you, was hunting for more tension - loved the sound of the Hi-Beams but wanted a bit more tension, which is where the Lo-Rider comes into play. (Just wanted to say that as it's not all about gauge which influences the tension.
  4. https://www.inear.de/en/products/monitoring/active-ambience-sound/hearmix-pro Alternative where you can use your own customs as the mics are on the cable (as long as you are using a two pin connector) Just throwing them into the melting pot of options.
  5. If you sound check things should be ok - as with inears, you are less inclined to have players turn around and mess with their amps. Less ear fatigue also further reduces reduces this risk.
  6. I dunno, Id rather see a well lit band than a light show. You know you have hanging bolt points on top of your speaker cabs? Perfect place to put secure a led panel on top of the speaker to cross fire across the stage.
  7. Biggest improvement would be to light the band so you can see your faces! I know everybody has their own take on mobile, easy setup lighting... but if you flood light your band then have the other lights doing their thing, the presence of your band will be enhanced. At the moment, there's nothing different between how you are being lit and the people on the dance floor. (I hate sound to light lighting btw so I'm a tough crowd)
  8. Im actually pretty impressed with that image quality. How does it do in low, low light?
  9. Whatever instrument you are playing, always a bass player.
  10. This isn't sold. One of the pair has sold. One complete setup is still available.
  11. Due to me not running bands anymore, I'm shifting a load of my personal PA gear. All my stuff is currently in storage but will be pulling it out to photograph and update the posts. Now with PICS! You probably know what this is if you are looking at this advert, here's the details - https://dbxpro.com/en/products/afs2 Spent most of its life racked and comes into its own for those troublesome venues. As good as new, like pretty much all my kit. (You can see it has no rack rash even - if you are interested in the switch too... make me an offer... have a matched pair! Note rack bag not included.) Check out my other listings for PA stuff.
  12. Just throwing it out there… have you noticed how angry people become when you suggest there’s an alternative to loud stages…?
  13. You don’t need a sub for a silent stage. Just a decent set of full range PA tops which can cover the lows in the same manner as your bass cabs.
  14. A combo does not do and will not do what a sub does, hence confused as why you think you’d need one.
  15. I’ve already done it. Problematic wedding venue. The band went silent stage, the audience went headphones. It’s not that strange really - silent discos have been a thing for ages. Only difference really, is that you better know how to mix when everything is crystal clear! here’s an example -
  16. Couple of things here - Quality of IEMs and the mix in them. Some people freak out at the clarity - you thought your playing was better than it really is. Different ball game when you can hear every fk up in crystal clear clarity - and you blame the tech when it unravels the reality. Movement of air - if you can feel that amount of air, your backline is too loud to give a decent mix in most situations anyway... but most of the time, it's a myth. Stand next to an amp and put your fingers in your ears... and you feel through your jeans.... nothing. (And that cos you aren't playing any strings because your fingers are in your ears) If you want then energy, go get a KT board or something. But again, each to their own. Some people like old school. Some people like the tech. Some people like their hearing intact too. I actually like playing without IEM too... but theres always somebody in the band looking to ruin the party. Guitarists and drummers I'm looking at you. I've got to the point where I say try IEMs. Some people love it. Some people dont. Lifes too short to try and get people to come around to your preference.
  17. Am I led to believe that unveiling this kick drum secret has exposed a load of hatred for it? As they say, with great power comes great responsibility. It's about knowing when to restrain yourself...!
  18. It’s amazing how much extra energy a tight kick can give a band.
  19. Especially for you @Phil Starr - https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/389429-the-iem-in-ear-monitors-bible-thread/?do=findComment&comment=5173832
  20. ...as I say, if your desk can't do this (or you haven't got the outboard), you can go the trigger route. And apologies for that little slap run. (I got carried away)
