I've mixed openers but I'm about to go out with my first headliner, I'm 8 years in and excited to continue learning. I've had crazy shit happen to me like losing my lead vocal channel midshow at Madison Square Garden or having the entire house PA cut out on me in front of 5000 people so I feel like after having genuine catastrophes, I know whatever goes wrong is ultimately not that bad and I'm well equipped to handle it or ride it out
We once had two girls go nuts and start unplugging FOH mid show. Because we wouldn't let them charge their phones. They just started grabbing cables and pulling.🤦
ELO overloaded the house circuit breaker, I didn't know we had one until the handle gave my leg a friendly nudge, back in 75. Crash to black, utter silence, I grabbed it and hauled it back, perfect timing. An absolute stab.
ive had a bunch of crazy stuff happen like this. You just gotta try and fix it and carry on in a calm way! I had a show last week that the pyro set off the fire alarm and had to evacuate 2000 people during the first song of our show. 😬
@@RattlinBonesClub I was vocal lead in a big backing choir for David Byrne (Atomic Bomb! on here), and was caught unexpectedly by the sheer quality of the band: we hadn't thought about choreography, and as it demanded far more than a simple walk-on, I taught a shuffle-dance as they went on. As the video shows, it added to the busk-till-ready, so much momentum the band couldn't stop, so David waved a go-around. We hadn't been told where to, so I was left guessing, as the CD was panicking, and thankfully got it right
Wow... I am highly motivated to work harder and learn more by looking at you professionals do the work.. Appreciate the effort you put into the video.. Thank you for the great content ! ♠
Shhhhhhssss. Roger unload!. With respect. I just loved this video. it's awesome especially when you have the passion to do sound and set up. I learned new things out of it. cheers and regards from Buka Island, PNG.
I have live sound lectures at uni and it’s so interesting to see everything that goes on at a proper gig! Also we had to ring out the monitors a few weeks ago, was not fun
That looks like a tough room to mix in!!. After 52 years of ins and outs, eating peanut butter sandwiches at times that taste like chiken at 3 in the morning I can tell you it has to be a labor of love!. ❤❤❤
I'm 50% deaf, can't hear squat over 4khz, and just put together a decent PA system for local bands/shows. I've been DJing and running karaoke for over 9 years now. My digital mixer is an odd hybrid of a Motu LP32 ADAT AVB mixer and 3 Behringer ADA8200 8-channel ADAT preamps (Midas designed preamps baby! Lol), and Waves plugins via USB from my laptop. I may be deaf, but I'm still doing what I love, dammit. I get feedback from others around me on whether my mixes/instruments sound crispy or dull (they can't tell me much more than that. Lol). Your videos are entertaining and inspirational! :)
You should have seen Queen's rig on the Night at the Opera tour. Four completely modularised loads, each run straight off a 30-tonne trailer, onto stage, opened up completely self-contained, mixers run to the back, they were up and running in 15 minutes, tear-down the same at the end.
When I do events and gigs I still use my trusty Allen and heath ML5000 analogue desk but still insist on using point source speaker system ,but great video as always
If any of you are in the UK, the Association of British Theatre Technicians (ABTT) runs a free trade show at the Ally Pally in North London in the Summer. 5-6 June this year.
Very interesting vid, it's awesome to see what is happening on the backstage! Also, I wonder what 's the name of the song at 9:57. I appreciate any reply.
I have some questions that, how the mixer connects to the mics on stage? I mean It's XLR cable for sure But I cannot see any cables are connected from mixer directly on stage mics. There is a big distance between the mixer and the stage Is there any method to do it? Thank you very much !
Great video! Would like to see a longer vid though of you actually making your mic patches with the board and and your Waves setup as well. Do you use dante or just local I/O with the venues snake system?
Great video. What’s that small speaker by your sounddesk. Is that just so you can hear the monitor engineer? Also how are the inputs sent to both your desk and the monitoring desk and also the other sound engineer for the support bands? Thanks
Yeah it’s so I can hear the monitor engineer and the band members during the show if they need to ask for anything but not out of the main Pa. I have a video on the channel showing the audio set up of this tour explaining our split and dl32’s, go check that out! Support bands would be mixed by someone else on a different console
@@RattlinBonesClub Thank you. With support acts on a different console, do you have to swap xlr inputs/ outputs for it to work. How do you both get sends for mixing?
I want this job so bad 😭 how do you even get started? I’m studying audio production online right now so I have some basics of mixing and such but I’m not sure what I should be focusing on or where to look for any hands on experience.. Please if anyone has any ideas!!
Thanks for making this video, somehow i have learn the whole process of it. Noob question please, what is the purpose of putting a small speaker near the Midas digital mixer? Is that for talkback? Thanks.
@@RattlinBonesClubcan you tell me the specs on the MacBook pro you are using and how many plug-ins are you using, thanks in advance brother. Your Job is amazing!!!! I'm following your channel!!!
Its a cat5e cable running from FOH console to the dl32 on stage. For this venue they already had a spare guest cat5 cable installed so we just used that, but we do tour our own incase we need to run our own cable.
@@RattlinBonesClubSorry in advance for the long reply/question: That dope they provided you cable. Do you tour with a 300ft cat5 that you run along the back wall then to the FOH? If you needed to do a really long run how would you get the accomplished? I'm doing smaller venues like conference rooms so I'm usually where your monitor engineer would be so I'm using a 50ft cat5 but I always wonder how to do those super long runs.
I have a set of custom moulded plugs from acs but tbh most the time I’ll not use them as I want to hear what everyone else is. Or occasionally I’ll use my custom iems so I can listen to my mix at a lower volume
So good dude. Question for you. For the opener bands that have their own consoles where do they plugin as I see yours is set up to main one. Might be a dumb question ha. Cheers from San Diego!
The 2 stage talk backs go into aux 1 & 2 on the monitor desk. Then the mon desk uses a bus out to send these 2 plus the mon desk talk line out of the dl32, small xlr patch cable that goes into input 32 of my foh dl32. Then I have a bus on my foh console that sends that channel to the speaker via the outputs on the back of my console
It’s a shout speaker so I can hear the monitor engineer and band during the show. We have mics around stage that are just routed to the iems and that speaker so we can all hear and if we have any issues we can communicate
What’s the routing for you and the monitor engineer to talk back and forth with each other? Also what’s the little speaker you use to hear him talk next to the console?
With this setup, it was routed like this: Mons talk into the mons desk talk in stage right talk into mons desk aux 1 stage left talk into mons desk aux 2 Drum talk into mons desk aux 3 The mons console then has a mono mix bus with all those channels routed to it, output from the mons DL32 into an input on my foh DL32 so I get all the channels down 1 line. I can then route this to the speaker next to me.
Would you be taking on any interns!? I am currently studying an audio engineering degree and this is the career I want to get into. Any help would be appreciated.
Not at the moment, most shows I’m too busy to be able to give any advise and help. But maybe if the right tour happened I would potentially do it for a few shows. I’ve had people come shadow at gigs before to help with cables and mics and see how the day goes
It’s so I can hear the monitor engineer and band if they need to talk to me during the show. Only thing that comes out is the talk mics on stage and then I have a mic that goes to everyone’s ears onstage.
Seen several of your videos by now, will be seeing you with WSS in Tilburg 013, which is probably a bigger venue. Will you be using the same mixer in the back of the house? You appear to do quite nicely with a lot less (more compact) then what I see most bands use. Will probably come and say hi 👋🏼
How are inputs and outputs usually handled when you are bringing your own mixer? Are you bringing your own lines and stage boxes? If so, is bringing a mixer worthless if you aren't bringing your own entire stage setup? Just curious because I've been touring as a FOH but have been using house sound every night and there are issues at times with the setup I'm needing against the setup that the house FOH prefers.
Ok this tour we were using house xlr cables and stage boxes. I just advanced with the venue that we would need these, we’d then use their stage boxes and xlrs to get all the inputs into our split on side stage.
Hey James, thanks for the vid! I've binged most of your vids in the last couple weeks having just got into live sound stuff over the last year and appreciate the gems! I feel my biggest weakness is at the moment is PA/Room tuning and wondering if you have any advice and or insight into the way that you do it. Also the way that you managed to kill the feedback in the monitor was pretty mind blowing sticking the mic down low like that. Thanks again!
Thanks for watching mate! Get a group of songs you know well, eq out until it sounds like what you’re used to. I like to turn the eq off and then back on a few times to listen to what I’ve done and make sure I’m not over eq’ing
I always find that this desk runs abit hot and if I put to 0 every so often I’ll clip on a big snare hit . So I usually drop the master down to -5 or -10 and send this to the matrixes, and can adjust level to the Pa there
cool to see you using an m32 for foh and monitoring.. I know a lot of people blaming these mixers, but in my eyes they're a great solution for people not having money hanging from their trees ✌🏻🤘🏻👍🏻
@@zedstudio.22 sound, design, etc. ... but mostly those people are running around with yamaha, heritage mixers.. and only THEIRS is the best.. not open for other products.. we have a lot of these people in our business.. some mixers can't even be compared in my eyes.. it's like comparing a car with an airplane..

Curious why you would or wouldn’t do that post changeover line check on in ears/ headphones as to not disrupt the audience.
Sometimes we would, but its always nice to hear the PA and make sure nothing has changed too much with people in the room

Where did you learn sound engineering???
I studied "Music Production" at university and then went on to shadow the engineers in a live music venue before getting a job there.
6:50 the man behind them doesnt know what is happening hahahhah.
Cool video! Could you tell me what you have got in your FOH Rack? And do you just connect with a single cat 5 cable to the stagebox?
I’ve got another video on my page showing what I’ve got in there!
And yeah it’s just 1 cat5 line between foh and stage
this is useful
Tuning in the main pa for a metal show with taylor swift, love it! 😂
Always!
@@RattlinBonesClubDo you use the same song to tune the PA every show or just whatever one you're feeling that day?
Same songs everyday so i can compare and try and make each room sound as similar as possible. @@MegaShitfactory
How do you connect the two mixers?
There is an analog split between the 2 consoles so they are fully independent from each other
When or where can I start?
Start now and your local venue!
How did you get the shout box to work for communication during line check or before showtime?
The 2 stage talk backs go into aux 1 & 2 on the monitor desk.
Then the mon desk uses a bus out to send these 2 plus the mon desk talk line out of the dl32, small xlr patch cable that goes into input 32 of my foh dl32.
Then I have a bus on my foh console that sends that channel to the speaker via the outputs on the back of my console
Cool vid! What is that speaker box next to your FOH mixer used for? A fake monitor to hear what's happening in the wedges?
It’s a shout speaker so I can hear the monitor engineer and band during the show.
We have mics around stage that are just routed to the iems and that speaker so we can all hear and if we have any issues we can communicate
What’s the routing for you and the monitor engineer to talk back and forth with each other? Also what’s the little speaker you use to hear him talk next to the console?
With this setup, it was routed like this:
Mons talk into the mons desk talk in
stage right talk into mons desk aux 1
stage left talk into mons desk aux 2
Drum talk into mons desk aux 3
The mons console then has a mono mix bus with all those channels routed to it, output from the mons DL32 into an input on my foh DL32 so I get all the channels down 1 line.
I can then route this to the speaker next to me.
Would you be taking on any interns!? I am currently studying an audio engineering degree and this is the career I want to get into. Any help would be appreciated.
Not at the moment, most shows I’m too busy to be able to give any advise and help. But maybe if the right tour happened I would potentially do it for a few shows. I’ve had people come shadow at gigs before to help with cables and mics and see how the day goes

@@RattlinBonesClub No problem. In fact, that might be the official way audio engineers spell it :)
cool to see you using an m32 for foh and monitoring.. I know a lot of people blaming these mixers, but in my eyes they're a great solution for people not having money hanging from their trees ✌🏻🤘🏻👍🏻
Blaming for what??
@@zedstudio.22 sound, design, etc. ... but mostly those people are running around with yamaha, heritage mixers.. and only THEIRS is the best.. not open for other products.. we have a lot of these people in our business.. some mixers can't even be compared in my eyes.. it's like comparing a car with an airplane..
@@löaop1 Ive seen a yamaha CL5 drop out more than an m32
