Nobody even going to give me any offers?

the sales guy plugged it in and went wickety-wackity-wock (badly) for several minutes 

After they've finished...

"was that hard to play? because it was hard to listen to."

Wonder what the routing is. Bypassing the Markbass pre and just using the poweramp?

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!

Mackie DL32R + Apple Airport Extreme + Amptown Cases flightcase (highend cases, 3u, custom made to exact dimensions). Everything is neatly racked, with a single powercon and network connections on D series connectors mounted on a rear rackpanel - £1500 each.

Manufacturer info here - https://mackie.com/en/products/mixers/dl-series/dl32r.html

There is still one for sale.

Very clean condition and like all my gear, completely treated with kid gloves.

Check out my other listings for PA stuff!

Exactly. When you consider how

deaf the people that Jerry monitors for, it all begins to make sense.

I think he means the stem size, as in how they fit to the IEM. 

Ah right. Yes. Right you are 😛

I don't think you can reliably measure. With tips, fit is so changeable, I think it's just a case of buying a load and trying them to see which works best for you.

For example, if you see yourself as a M in one brand, you may get better results with a S in another (due to lying and sealing deeper in the ear).

If you are keen… https://headlinermagazine.net/jh-audio-jerry-harvey-interview-new-pearl-processor-ruby-iem.html

Get the players that enable to do that then. The punters won’t know care if you have virtuoso players or not.

Got red flags all over it.

You'll find the best players are the flakiest.

If you want to get gigging, find the players that want to do that and driven to do it (not just say they are keen do it).

Choose the songs to maximise on the abilities of the players, not necessarily the songs that you'd want to do - but you can get sounding tight. The audience rarely know the difference between good players and great players anyway. Best to have a band that is rehearsed and reliable - rather than a band that is always thrown together with deps, or where you are cancelling all the time because of availability.

Of course, I don't know if you want to play for money, or purely for enjoyment. If it's the latter, it can be more difficult if you aren't vibeing as much off your band members playing.

Powered Kemper Rack, Kemper Profiler remote - flight cased in 4u spider engineering case. Owned from new... and in as new condition. Never missed a beat.

£1150
 

Shure wireless not included (sorry!)

My mate uses WeGotTickets... thats about all I know.

AliExpress seem to have a deal on at the moment offering the Sennheiser IE300 for around £40. 

100% genuine copies.

What you mean? Aren't going to make it?

Off to google Dunable basses....

...ok. Nup, still GAS free.

I use the 64 clips when needed. Do the job. They're all much of a muchness!

Down to what’s comfortable with you. Remember to move your head to the extremities after you’ve clipped onto your shirt to make sure the cable doesn’t go tight and pull your inears out of your ears.

that’s it really - it’s personal preference. Some people like the clips especially if they are running very long IEM cables. Helps keep things in place.

Most things are better than a set of 215s tbf.

Use a balanced cable and dispense with rhe need for a DI box? 

Not quite as simple as that!

Whole load of stuff but I have working man’s stuff as opposed to anything particularly boutique. (Sold those eons ago)

Vocal mics, 945s (also selling a set of wireless EW500 with 945 capsules if anybody interested - find in for sale section), Heil PR35… but absolute fave, purely because of their rejection for reducing bleed … Audix OM5/OM6 and the complete daddy… OM7.

Good to see the D5 mentioned - quite possibly the best vocal mic for the money!

Wow. Sofar sounds has gone up a gear or two.

The app designer can control whether the app remain active or not, it's not down to the OS to control that. Hence why you can still have music playing, or Youtube pro is the background.

Anyway, not prepared to go into tit for tat discussions about app design, frankly, I'm not that bothered.

Edited the above as I just didn't English at all

Both of those arguments make no sense - does that mean while it is showing the user interface it doesn't have enough processing to mix, if it does, what is the problem? A UI should be a result of data that already exists that it just has to send down a network port, and whatever processor that powers it is at least a decade newer than the processing the X18 - I can tell you from my work, the processing is way more impressive it was a decade ago. And power consumption, I can't think how that would be changed but unless it has an eco mode I am not sure why that would be a consideration on a mains powered device.

Both of the arguments do make sense - because they'll all make the app show as a large hog on resources... so when people look at why their mobile device is nearly dead on batteries and running hot when the device isn't being used for mixing, bingo, app gets bad name. This isn't to do with the mixing desk unit, which is mains powered... all the connections for the UI will be responses to requests initiated by the client device (the app). You could argue there is no point in keeping this processing overhead when the UI isn't even being presented to the end user.

Depending upon how the app has been implemented, it could also have a negative impact on the app which is in focus.

I don't know what your line of work is - but its also worth noting that it does matter what the processors of a few years look like. I know a lot of people with mixers that go into CEX to buy the cheapers ipad or whatever... just for use with mixers. You dont want to be running ipads that are costing as much as the mixer. Taking this into account, the app will have been designed to run on some very minimal spec stuff.  

It'll be a bandwidth and power consumption choice Im sure. No use processing if it's not in focused and not there to be seen.
