It's lovely to see how, with your experience, you take things to the van in the correct loading sequence so that the things that need to go in last get there last. Do you ever think of having some small plastic or wood pallets to put under the subs for when it's raining, just to keep them out of the puddles? The light condoms were a great idea! From packing tents in the rain, having large bags you can just put wet stuff in is a definite great idea.
only thing u forgot is rain coat. i always take a rain coat and booots in my vehicle because in Hawaii some rains a lot in winter season. protect the gear and protect you as well. great Job as always Bart and Stacy ❤
Yeah this past spring and summer were super wet up here in MN. Every Monday morning our in shop crew was drying out equipment and our repair techs were crossing their fingers that everything would be okay. Great job being prepared!
I learned a lot from you guys especially in outdoors settings even if you're just two your doing a great job and you have a great team work. I'm a fan of you two man. God bless you always 🙏🙏🙏
This video gives an excellent example of the adage: “Plan your work and work your plan.” Once again, we have the opportunity of learning from the best professionals in the production field, as Bart and Stacy make this gig happen, despite the threat of a serious rainstorm. The Under Cover weather resistant speaker covers keep the PreSonus CDLs and Subs bone dry. Tarps of the proper size keep other equipment protected from the rain. And, the always clever and creative Stacy has devised covers for the electrical outlet boxes that protect them from the falling water, too. While none of us would want to have to deal with the mess that rain creates at any venue, The Sound Couple illustrate for us how carefully planning and execution of that plan can make what could be a devastating situation reasonably manageable. Out usual “tip-of-the-hat” to Bart and Stacy for another amazing video. And, just a reminder to those who design outdoor-or any other type of-venue. When your design includes steps, make certain that you have provision for those of us who are bound to a wheelchair. Accessibility provisions also help those in the production industry to load-in and load-out their equipment.
Hi Bart & Stacy may I suggest a truss and winch ups to alleviate the weather situation you guys seem to get every now and then,with that big tarp you have could be the answer to these problems you have with the weather. And maybe a bit extra cash to charge the venue or band however it works in your part of the world. I myself would not set and gear up without some form of protection from the elements safety wise and protection from the elements also would be better for Stacy and her lighting setup she has you could fly all your lights,cables and FOH TOPS that would give you more coverage and tucked up out of the weather. Only leaving to cover the subs (big Presonus fan here) and wait the weather out and possibly keep playing due to everything and everyone is safe out of the weather. Keep up the good work Pete from down under ✌️🤘🤘
Thanks Pete! This is the lowest paid gig we do...music is not a priority but a nice to have if they think their customers will be outside. It's a Thursday night we take it/or leave it gig. We enjoy a low stress gig when the weather is nice so we do it. Hope this helps with some perspective on what we are working with!
Watching the first 10 minutes, I was feeling the anxiety that comes these situations. It is a shame the venue couldn't put out some cover. Even an EZ up for the band in addition to your preparations might have allowed you to recover and continue the gig once the storm had past
Hello Sound Couple!! My business partner and I have started a company. The SoundCrashers. We currently have 6- CDL12p's and the last gig we rented the manual lifts and built our own fly brackets (per specs) We are both fabricators and I teach Machining and Manufacturing at our local high school. We want to get the CDL 18's and be able to fly them but as we navigate through the interweb we've noticed that the fly brackets built into yours (subs) are different the those listed on websites. Any suggestions? As always, LOVE your videos and sound knowledge!
Ahhhh, are you sure you are not crossing models? It's a bit confusing, but there are two model of subs. The current offering is the CDL Sub18, the original model is CDL18s, which contain the flypoints. The CDL18s is discontinued but perhaps you could still find a pair. Good luck!
I have a weather app that shows radar in real time to predict when the storm is to hit. I can call a show and by the time the storm hits, I’m closing the trailer.
It would be nice if the venue revamped a bit because it could be a great little gem of a music venue....but the music is secondary...if it rains, customers will move inside so band get's canceled. It is sort of roll of the dice gig.

Rain is one of the most biggest problem in this kind of business. I hope your gears are ok. Praying for you always 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! Thankfully, all gear was ok!

Thank you for your comments! We have put placed the subs on on wood shims we carry, but only if the ground is wet or could puddle up.

Thank you! We dodged a lot of bullets this past summer and thankfully never really got hit!
I learned a lot from you guys especially in outdoors settings even if you're just two your doing a great job and you have a great team work. I'm a fan of you two man. God bless you always 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Dennis - we are so happy that we are able to help you!

Thank you Dean! To certain, there are other access points to this area that are wheel chair accessible, but that access is through the building.
Can‘t believe you did it again…it was only a few weeks ago I watched the previous video about the rain…
Well...funny thing is this gig is cursed for us! Our gig there this past Thursday was canceled again because of the weather!
The Singer was real helpful !! LOL!! Didn’t want to get her fancy boots too wet!!
The perks of being the singer!
Great video. 20:49 Where did you guys get those led light rain covers?
Stacy made them! She did a video on them here: th-cam.com/video/EO-CcBjFAtw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XtSztpW3N3p-uKnX

. .. … the world according to “tarp”. 😊
They are our best defense!

It’s always tough when the entertainment is secondary at this type of venue!
I often run sound at the new Lyman P White ampitheatre in Brainerd. 4 steps on the back, 5 steps on the front.
Steps make things really difficult for us.
@@thesoundcouple it's no fun lifting my racks and subs up those steps! That's for sure! I don't have ramps either.
Menards carries awesome waterproof outlet connector devices.
Thank you for sharing!

Wow everyone must be on vacation I'm first on re-upload lol.
This is a repost! Unfortunately, we deleted our original post so we wanted to get it back.
This one stresses me out 😅 You guys are moving quick. Not sure what the band members are doing.
❤❤🌹🌹
I have a weather app that shows radar in real time to predict when the storm is to hit. I can call a show and by the time the storm hits, I’m closing the trailer.
Just curious which one you use? We typically use a few just because neither of them can agree!
@@thesoundcouple I use myradar by Aviation Data Systems, Inc.
the venue needs to put a pergola up

At least you made a full amount of money.
Rule of thumb.. if we’re leaving the house and show up, we’re getting paid!
@@thesoundcoupleyep. Easiest I ever did on sax, I showed up, venue changed their mind on live band, we got paid anyway. There is no other way.
Without a Stage, it's a big mess!
Without a covered stage...for sure!
