I hope to experience this one day.

Change your passwords folks or I'll make a bet to drop FOH for a beer.

Convinced my company to invest in one after I got into the hobby at home, and this is the first major project. No more pluck and pull foam replacements!

This takes “bringing own mixer” to a new level!

A homemade beauty of a machine. Made out of wood and with a bunch of custom gear inside. Everything you need to do a proper job!

We had a band in our venue today, where the sound engineer brought literally a homemade wooden mixer, just had to share it with you guys.

Last night i worked a gig with a band that was “self contained”. This wasn’t like a club, but one of those corporate gigs where you are there with the provider, have your own console for program, and if there’s a band they either have all their own stuff and an engineer. The night started off like any other, band was a bit late, i pass the guy (who i assume is their engineer) drive lines, and set up shop. Guy goes on to set monitor levels for the band, and then hops behind the drum kit and passes me the ipad about 3 minutes before they go on. I’m thinking no worries here, i’ll mix the show that’s fine, however as i dug into their file this is how they were eqing things. Major lols. It was literally the thing audio memes are made of.

After the show I am talking to the drummer trying to explain to him that his band isn’t really self contained, his file needs to be deleted and they need to start from scratch, and handing an engineer with a show file like this should quite frankly be a crime. I also explained to him in the future he should explain to the engineer that they don’t have a guy when they’re setting up because that was never communicated, told him i’d of been more then happy to help if he had explained that and get their stuff right for em. Oddly enough he took offense because he took that as me accusing him of eqing things that way, to which i replied that he handed me the ipad that way so it doesn’t really matter if he did it or not, plus like i saw him setting levels lol. I also explained to him that’s it’s pretty rare a band will show up labeling themselves as “self contained” and not have a guy. He didn’t agree with that assertion, however short of a guy quitting or someone being sick, i’ve never ran into this scenario before.

The other pictures are of their vocal chain lol.

Saw it on my socials and it have me a chuckle
