    To me, it's just making use of tools. There's plenty of bands making use of backing tracks, clicks or whatever... - at the end of the day, it's the entertainment game. If the audience is entertained, then job done. It still doesn't take away from the fact that in order to perform some of the songs, you have to be a great player. Take the bass player for example, there will be plenty of people poo pooing the above - but would have nowhere that level of competency on the bass themselves. For me, the interesting bit about all this sequenced stuff is that it opens up a whole multitude of possibilities. For example, automated MIDI changes - the guitarist can be anywhere on stage when they need to change patches to their lead sound... automated lights (lets face it, a band turning up to a gig running time aligned lights to the audio without a lighting folk would be pretty impressive for most people)... Funnily enough, there's an awesome video worth watching on Katy Perry's band setup and how they do exactly all this. Less being tied to the spot and more about moving around stage and providing visual entertainment on top of the sound. And of course, they aren't miming which makes the experience better for those wanting a more purist approach to music than miming. Also - worth noting on the looping - I don't know if it was done in the video above, but if you are playing with a sequence, you can lock a playback skeleton to loop - so I had a drummer trigger off a midi controller to enter an 8 bar loop in ableton. We would stay in it until he hit the midi controller for us to exit. You can also set up things like "jump to the chorus" if you want to elongate things.... so things aren't as necessarily prescriptive as you would think. Anyway... Here's the Katy Perry rundown - Wireless DMX to the lights on the guitar. Pretty cheeky eh? There's also this case study - there used to be a video but I can't find it - https://www.allen-heath.com/media/Camryn-Case-Study.pdf Basically, whole band in a rack, all the digital domain, time line running with all the MIDI changes, running VSTs for everything. Performers just provide the input, everything else done in the box. Pretty slick to be honest - and it sounded ridiculously good.

    It's not as if it's a vintage Fender.... so... if it's your keeper bass and you are thinking about refinning it, just get on with it. May as well enjoy the bass with its new coat sooner rather than later. It's all part of it's and your story.

    Sounds like you may have the "auto" level mode set in the input setting menu. What's happening is, is that the D07x detects that the input is peaking and then automatically adjusting the gain down. You can hear the input gain being reduced on the recording. Every time it starts a new recording, it will do the same routine... hence why you are seeing the repeated behaviour. What you need to do is switch the "level mode" to "manual" (under I/O setting menu item) and save - and then when you hit record, pressing the |<< and >>| buttons will enable you to manually set the recording level. Get the band to play and monitor the levels to make sure they are not clipping (get it to peak at -6dB to be safe) Being digital, you an afford to under gain a bit which should give you a bit of headroom to avoid distorting peaks. You can then bring it into audacity or whatever DAW you want to normalise (or further process).

    EBS use Eminence woofers in their Proline and Neolines with Selenium Super Tweeters.

    Custom will be one of the best bits of gear you will ever buy!

    @dave_bass5- yay! Sounds promising! Get refining!

    Deco - as mentioned above.

    Ah - seems to be fixed channel... so that'd be a no.

    "Less than 12ms per system" For 40 quid, not a bad find - if they work for you. Watching the vid, interesting to see it will do 1 transmitter to many receivers... I'm wondering if you can run multiple transmitters for multiple mixes?

    If the socket that you are plugging into is giving an unbalanced stereo signal and your P2 is switched internally to be stereo, then yes. (assuming the XLR is locking into the P2) I'd get a proper cable made up by designacable - just show them what you want. I would be surprised if they haven't made one up before. This kind of cable is worth investing in as due to the nature of it, is exposed to more wear than your standard cable.

    The art of understanding wave theory is defo more in the science space than the arts space.

    It isn't technically classed as Ch38 at all. It's 65/66. It's covered under the "shared mic license", which covers both ranges of the spectrum covered by Ch38 and CH65/6. Ch 65/6 is actually pretty noisy. Only reason that I am being pedantic, is that this stuff is hard enough for people new to radio to understand without putting statements in saying 823-832 is channel 38. It's just that its licensing is covered by the same license as that of Ch38.

    Looks like the noise floor could be quite high (but that's not an issue once you are playing). Focus mode is not unusual on a stereo system... in fact, it should be kind of a given. Although I do think it's rarely used in practice, especially now that we are into the realms of remote controlled digital desks. U4 is mono, so it's never going to have that kind of functionality. U4 is defo going to sound better from the get go. I wouldn't go as far as saying the LD is better... the LD has never floated my boat... again, compander. Unless you want stereo, I'd go for the U4... although, as stated in the other thread, the system that I think is currently where it's at is the MiPro - although I do appreciate that's quite some price hike. But if you are using it as a rig/monitor replacement... it kinda makes sense.

    @Al Krow I found this quite interesting. The audio sounds OKish. Doesn't sound particularly wide but seems reasonable enough. 31:20 seems to show it's not too shabby for bass. Reading the comments in YT, it may be the case that it doesn't play that nice with other wireless... who knows? For less than a 100 quid, probably worth a punt.
  15. EBS_freak
    I wouldn't be going near it... I'd wager it's got a woeful compander on board for that kinda money. But... you know, for the money, it may be worth a punt...? It may be a hidden gem. But... if you want to use on a free to use frequency range... or the shared mic license range, you'll need the 830.000 to 866.000 MHz range that they seem to manufacture for - and operate in 863-865 to remain legal (channel 70). You'll also be able to use 830-832 (as part of the 823-832 shared mic license range).

    Did a gig where I was sitting on stage puking up into a bucket. Not my finest moment.
  17. EBS_freak
    Ah they be the genuine copies.
  18. EBS_freak
    How many years will they be sat on the website do you think?
  19. EBS_freak
    Aye, Amazon and eBay are probably your goto to get them the quickest.

    Whats the format of your HD? Whats your monitor?
  21. EBS_freak
    Why so many models? Because they have figured out that places like head-fi.org are obsessive about such things. Price them cheap enough and they will sell loads (many models to an individual too) as people in that space are borderline obsessive about comparing and contrasting. This advertising piece did make me smirk though - "shocking sound quality"

    UE Black Friday deals emerging... 30% off UE11 upwards...

    What he said. ^

    I dont think solo bass is her bag to be fair. She's great in a band situation playing rock. But then again, if you are looking at selling basses... I've never thought the bass demos for Andertons has ever been that great tbf... but meh, what would I know. I'm not the target audience.
  25. EBS_freak
    That's odd. So whats your wiring look like when using XLR?
