I think I'm going to have to look into this camera a bit more - I'm not too keen on the wide movement but for a two or three camera angles, I think I would really like it. Mevo seems to be doing a similar thing - but the low light performance of the GP seems to trump it slightly. I'm guessing you could take the footage into Lightroom and correct for lens distortion. Hmm.

Aye - very moody.

@intime-nick and myself only caught up with each other this week. I can't say when at this stage - but we are still pursuing it but cottage industry prototyping without bankrupting yourself is pretty difficult! The design has moved on somewhat since we last updated... and I think it's fair to say that we are pretty excited by it. It's construction is like nothing you've seen before.

Yes ! For one unit in low light, it appears to work pretty good. Nice one. Thats actually surprised me to how well it performs. Quick q, how to control what the framing is like? Can you control that precisely or is it an auto in app thing? Having (yes, I know) worn similar trousers to the singer on a gig, I thoroughly sympathise with her taking those off at the end of a sweaty night. Mind you, ladies don't sweat, right?

The QU is great. The SQ too... although that seems to be catching a few people out with some teething troubles. I'd really like a go on an Avantis... Of course, the Behringer Wing is what everybody is talking about at the moment. Certainly seems to offer a lot for the money.

Finally! Welcome to 3d! Massive, massive improvement isn't it? Next you'll be running a separate desk for getting inear specific channel EQ, compression and fx. Who am I kidding? 😛

PS a real sound engineer would use SMAART. But when you are rolling something like that out, you generally have the luxury of time and a room that isn't full of punters or other sources of noise to get your starting point (because the room will still change as soon as people enter). Try doing something a RTA reading in a pub with a load of pink noise or a sine sweep or even something like a DriveRack and you won't be very popular. And of course, in smaller venues, the second you start introducing people into the equation, the whole thing becomes a pointless exercise. Not being rude - but the "taking me for an idiot comment" isn't helpful, especially when what you describe in your posts is generally for domestic use (hifi nerds), suggests optimum speaker placement (in a pub you go where you are told) and overall, not viable in the situation for which we are talking. For pub gigs, you are best off playing a prerecorded song that you know inside out, hear for any hot or cold nodes and adjust appropriately. I also tend to run chromatics on the bass and hear or watch on RTA for any hot notes and likewise adjust. At least people won't be as annoyed hearing a bass player running notes up and down the neck...

Wahey. Nice.

Looking forward to the post gig report! Hopefully its a revelation for you!

For just monitors, it may be enough - generally it's a set and forget thing. So those few awkward moments where the responsiveness gets a bit iffy may not be too bad. Of course, you got an iPad mini - so it may be better than my experiences with my old standard iPad.

So if you are running it on not connected to the desk, than yeah. When you've got a screen full of the meters displaying, things could be a different experience for you.

Just make sure you aren't running anything else on the iPad if it's struggling. (Double click the home button on the bezel and swipe up any open applications, apart from Master Fader of course)

No - it wont connect - it will complain of a firmware/application version mismatch. 4.6.2 is that latest official release.

I've never known a worse rig to use than Bose for a full on band. Folk band maybe, acoustic duo... but electric band... I'd run a mile.

What version of firmware are you running on your DL32R? MyFader was dropped after version 3. If you are running Firmware 4 on your desk, MyFader3 shouldn't connect and complain about a version mismatch. MasterFader4 essentially become the equivalent of MyFader when run on an iPhone/iPod Touch. Note MasterFader 4 is the latest official release for DL32R. 5.1 is in Beta but not available for general download.

Cream can also turn sour. Disclaimer, the above isn't a catty comment towards M@23, just in case anybody think it's is. I'm sure they are a great player!

Well, that's where you made your first mistake.

Feel free to head over to the IEM thread and we can share all our experiences and share some top tips!

It's the band getting off with the bridesmaids... if you're doing it properly.

Custom IEM quads or UE6 or above. You'll never have any problems with fitment then... and if you think the 215s sounds great, prepare to get your thoughts on "great" rebenchmarked!

Granted this is true. I guess the real point is, a showcase song should be one in that is keeping with the band you are applying for. If somebody gets a gig in a Beatles tribute or and Indie originals band due to their show piece being blistering slap chops, I'd say it's more a reflection of poor decision making by the band rather than the player (who should have been playing something more appropriate anyway).

Sir Duke is a good call. Standard function fodder. Who plays Colorado Bulldog or the The Real Me in the function world? Audition for the band you are trying to be in rather than the band you dream to be in. In the originals world, I would look at their influences and tailor a piece to something of that genre. If you are trying to be in an Indie band, are then interested in your inappropriate 6 string bass... or your slap chops? If you are going for a Dirty Loops cover band, than yeah, start learning some Snarky Puppy covers, or get some Level 42 down by all means. But ego tends to not get you hired.

And you probably wouldn't get the gig along with m@23 - because the first thing I would think of (and other potential band leaders) is... ah Level 42 fan. How long til this guy starts busting out inappropriate slap chops over function fodder?

If somebody was joining a function band of mine, I would be more impressed with a show reel of I dunno, 40 clips of function fodder, than some epic display of fire that may have taken months/years to learn. I would need to know that somebody can be told about a first dance the day before a gig and turn up and I've got enough confidence for them to nail it first time through. The best function players aren't necessarily the ones with the chops - it's the ones that are reliable and have repertoire under their belts.
