    pair of Danley SH100

    2 Danley SH 100 Speakers - really awesome for a home theater or stereo although I have used them a few times for corporate PA work they are very clear sounding and in excellent condition - but one will need the stand mounting cup which is about $35 from Danley plus a little time to install it...

    Oculus Rift. There some things that have to be experienced to fully understand.

    In my life there have been a few things that no matter how they were presented to me had to truly be experienced to understand the magnitude of what people were trying to portray. The example that most comes to mind is the first time I viewed the Grand Canyon in person. All I can say is that if...

    Mute the mics during the fireworks display

    OK JV guys and gals here is my annual reminder for the July 4th week gigs. Besides being really loud amplified through the mains, the sound coming from fireworks displays can sometimes send an amp into clipping before it is caught by a limiter if the gain structure allows it. If you must have...

    Spill the beans, what is the worst oops you have done during a show?

    So I was running monitor world for a very famous national southern rock band one evening and, being the attentive tech I am, I noticed the lead guitar player's cord was a tangled up mess on stage. I proceeded to go in front the stage and untangle it for him and it just happened to be time for a...

    Best big ticket shows this year

    I know this is very subjective but what are the best big ticket shows you folks have attended or worked at this year? I do not go to many because I am usually to busy working JV shows and would like to hear any recommendations. At any rate I did go see Bruno Mars when he came through Atlanta...

    Every live sound engineer should spend a little time in a recording studio.

    Let me preface this with I have been a recording engineer since 1981 (anyone remember 2" tape?). I love live sound for many reasons such as not having to listen to the same song over and over and over and over for three days while everyone retakes all their parts or segments or even a few notes...

    The fast and easy board feed that sounds balanced and is controllable.

    I have mentioned this before in someone else's post sometime back but it has been a while and I thought I would post it again for any new forum members. If you are running a show as a single engineer and you want a stellar board mix this is an easy way to get one and be able to devote your...

    Growing tilapia in my swimming pool.

    So I was grilling some fish one day and I noticed that it was only a few feet to the swimming pool. I got to thinking that it sure was a lot closer than going all the way to the river or the ocean anytime I wanted some fresh fish. Being not just a sound geek but also redneck I came up with the...

    Some SFN guys do some mixing in Phil's neighborhood.

    It is not often I get a chance to hang out and mix with other members of this forum. This past weekend was one of those rare exceptions so I thought I would share a couple of photos to put some names and faces together. Kemper Watson, Mike Smith and I combined some of our rigs and met up with...
