as someone with hands on experience, Jamison is one of the best dudes to work with. He knows his shit, keeps his cool and kills it every night. Recommend him 11/10 times! Plus he's a great hang! ;-)
Great video dude!
Thanks buddy 😂🤘
spending money with these things is part of the game... one of the coolest ones btw
@@thales_stat for real it’s fun and expensive but worth it when you see the growth
Nice setup. Great to see the 1U jump into the system to tie everything together.
Definitely an amazing unit
An absolute joy to look at this piece of art 😎👍🎸
Thank you 🤘
if this is your job its an investment in your trade , i know welders who have spent 200k on a welding rig
Love the updated rig and I appreciated that you went more in depth about the signal flow.
The other day I saw a local metal show where every band shared a similar rack so there were no cabs on stage. However, they gave their Main L/R feed to the FOH from their X32 Rack and had a friend mix it instead of the actual FOH staff. With the main PA not being the best and the person on the iPad not being the best it felt very quiet and mushed together. I almost wished they had cabs on stage.
Goes down to the venues you are playing. We do plan to have cabs for smaller venues. But speaker placement and tuning the PA can really make or break a show.
Using the X32 with Ears and mixing FOH you are really restricted to what you can do compared to flagship gear like the DLive.
Worst case scenario we’d have our PreSonus run the show but we do have our own FOH console we bring and will hire our own guy to help mix the show alongside myself with helping during production days and soundchecks we get.
@@jamsscott Totally agree. This venue was not adequately setup (I tune PAs for a living) and it was a combination of things. I would have definitely advocated for them to have a separate console.
I love this types of videos! I put together my iem 2.0 rig for my band. I'm sure 2.5 isn't far behind lol
3.0 already in the works 😂
Impressive rig and great that is light enough for flying. 25K is not that much money to protect your hearing.
Yeah for sure! But I’ll keep improving and making it better every time I can. For 6 people this is a great rig
$25,000 I could do a lot with but I’d be missing things so I’d be over budget to do mine
The Presonus units are way under rated. Awesome build.
For real
Nice video! I would like to know more about how you are running lights with your laptop, what's your setup? Are you bringing your own light console and fixtures?
Soon I’ll have a video but it’s Lightkey and Ableton
I built a iem rig around a presonus 32r for my current band as well. I feel you. I was also worried about the same things, because i didn't see many bands using these. But... it was well worth it, 2u rack space for a full mixer with 32 inputs. Just gotta make it fly ready. Great video, my man, please... more content like this
@@MihaOblishar yeah I felt this was the best way to make the fly racks
Sick 🤘🏻
wow
Sick vid again. Which plugins besides Antares are you using on the Apollo for compression/eq on vocals? Do you ever send an FX bus out as well?
Never 1073, Autotune, and that’s it. Until we travel with our own engineer I know most house guys and new guys don’t really listen to source inputs and will just automatically do stuff.
So I wouldn’t want to send them anything that they will already compress, EQ, etc. Eventually I will though when we have our own engineer
Can you talk a bit about the power management? I don't see any conditioner/regulator, so wondering how you're powering each of the individual racks.
@@mariomedina7077 one plug of powercon
My bands rig is very similar all be it not nearly as clean haha. Planning on replacing the wireless mics we have with Sennheiser as well.
@@MrMasSanity love that! Haven’t had any problems with my sennheiser units thankfully.
In some shots, you have four separate racks, and in others, you have the single, big-ass rack. How do you join/separate them (presumably for local vs fly gigs)? Do you just slide the individual racks into the big "God rack"?
And what keeps the individual racks in place in the God rack? Thanks so much!
@@mariomedina7077 exactly, and the foam helps keep it set, it’s heavy, and gravity basically haha. Pretty common in touring to have a rig like this to interchange for flying and US touring
@@jamsscott Awesome, and a great solution to the problem I have (which is, right now I have a single, big-ass rack for home and couldn't figure out how I'd manage it on fly dates). Thanks so much!
Get the antenna
@@DbiPro we have two antennas one for IEMs and one for Wireless guitars etc
Awesome rig! This is actually much more than just an IEM rig though. It’s an IEM rig , a playback rig and a guitar/bass rig. My question is, does the $25,000 cost cover everything in that rack including the 3 Quad Cortex’s, 2 MacBook Pros, Apollo interface, Ableton etc?
@@Jason-Taylor yes
And now it’s outdated with spectera that’s rough
@@djthornton98 just to get into it for my band it’s $30K just for the wireless and then $2k for each body pack is insane lol
Dude! I’ve called and emailed BTPA like 6-7 times and they WILL NOT respond haha…inquiring about that exact rack splitter with the MASS connector. Could you DM or let me know how much you paid for that part of it? Looking for 24 channels
@@mattjohnson7660 it was like $2300 for the 32 channel?
TY!! 🙏…such a huge help
