How was your PA last night?

Was that the Monza?

Yes, Monza plus Bugera and at times the Sansamp patch on my Zoom B6.

Towards the end, I had some drop-outs where my sound dropped for 1 sec or so.  For the last few numbers, I had the bass plugged directly into the amp. The only thing I missed was the tuner.

I've pulled together four live clips all using the RCF 932As (with no sub) for one indoor and 3 outdoor gigs, recorded through a Rode stereo mic into a Sony s6300. Compared to my previous 912As (which I've held onto as a very capable back up rig) I think the 932s do let the vox shine whilst maintaining a meaty low end. Let me know if you agree?

 

 

Sounds great to me. What a good band, very tight and the female vocalist is terrific.

Thanks, that's very kind of you to say - I'd best not ask which of three female vox featured, haha!

 

And hopefully an endorsement of the RCF 932As delivering the sound.

I've probably said this before but I'd challenge anyone to listen to Feel It Still on that recording and say you can't do bass properly without backline. You really nailed that tone, and live too.

Tonight I am in total control of the PA so to add to the usual gig nerves I have that to contend with! Add the tantrums of a muddled aged child (singer)..,

 

However I have worked through things many time at home and I should be OK😀

Well FOH got good comments and as the Singist was in a chatty mood, all was good BUT I could not get the stage monitors to a usable level. We could hear the FoH quite well on stage and that make me wonder whether that was adding to the problems. We go again next Sat  with a few changes that might help. 😀

A good start then John

 

Perhaps if you tell everyone what the set up was we might be able to help a little. Did you mic the drums this time?

 

Was the lack of volume from the monitors down to feedback issues or lack of gain?

[Chienmortbb]

We did not mic the drums although we did have the drum mics there. 
 

With the monitors, it was the onset of feedback. I believe, but I am happy to be corrected that the monitors were at the wrong angle. They are passive and cuboid in shape,  and were on a typical bookshelf monitor so really pointing at out legs. This is where I will start next week. Either add to my collection of one 8” active speaker, or make some new monitor stands angled at around 45 degrees.
