    Tips for a beginner

    Hi I'd suggest you start with a simple app focused on music creation that has lots of loops and pre-built stuff. It will get you into actually making things faster than some more typical DAW software. FL Studio is very popular in the edm music creation space.

    Nuendo helps Carl Palmer bring ELP back to the stage

    Same here, I have still never seen a Wing in use, but X32's, M32's and all of their smaller variants are still dominant in small venues, churches, etc. The X32 was successful essentially because of near perfect market timing. It was the lowest cost solution that had a reasonably professional...

    I'm looking for a software or a website.........

    Sorry, this currently does not exist. In the next few years there may be AI tools that can do this (there is already one for spoken word but it doesn't work with background music). Check this out: https://www.rask.ai/tools/video-translator

    What direction of subs in a Dual 12 sub box sealed for 1999 dodge ram ext cab under rear seat?

    Car acoustics and sub models have so much variance that you should just try it a few different ways and see what works best. Some amps have a phase adjustment as well, which can help you get it dialed in. Good luck.

    Which set-up for a Monitor desk set-up?

    I would definitely say option 2. Of the options you listed the M32 would be my preference for monitors, it's fast and easy to get around as a monitor desk via the sends on fader mode, reasonably affordable, all IO is integrated for simple patching, less long in the tooth than the LS9. Not...

    Allen & Heath's Advantis Solo is out

    Yes, I really like the Avantis, this is a welcome lower entry point, as the full system tends to be out of budget for a lot of the HoW applications and other installs I've been involved with recently. 10K ballpark starting point....

    Outdoor Sub

    Hi Steven, I'd suggest B&C, they are waterproofed and I've had very good luck with them in outdoor applications. You can find a variety of 18" sub designs on their site. https://www.bcspeakers.com/resources/suggested-designs/ - each one of these plans is for a specific driver of theirs so it's...

    250 cap venue for "bass heavy" music... will a 2x18 do it proper?

    If controlling the low end (which is hard to do and the likely source of noise complaints) is going to be a problem, consider adding a Waves Maxxbass processor. They are a very useful tool for DJ rigs. They can give the acoustic illusion of very low bass, leave the real upper bass in place...

    Passive Wedges - what good ones are out there?

    Matt, if you already have the wedges and you like them, then just build the proper wiring setup. You probably already have the inventory to do this. There are commercial versions as well if you want something a little cleaner. My quick and dirty way of doing this was to take 25ft IEC cables...

    Jbl stx828s

    The answer, as always, is it depends. It all depends on the venue, the stage, and your objectives. Do you care about stage spill? There is no "best" placement that works universally.

    Ferrofluid in Meyer Sound

    Hi You could order APG-S from Ferrotec. I would call them to discuss the correct SKU.

    Looking for lightweight active 10" speakers

    One justification would be better resale value. Maybe it is different where you live, but around my area QSC and JBL (and to some degree Yamaha) are the dominant brands in powered speakers. I don't EVER recall seeing FBT in the wild, and I rarely see RCF either. The K's have better IO than the...

    Crackling/Clipping issues on Monitors

    Hi Recorded music is not comparable to a live bass. Recorded music is heavily compressed. A live bass on the other hand has significant transient peaks and if it is driving the speakers to crackle you may risk damaging them. Some things to try: 1) Make sure you have applied a HPF on your main...

    Looking for lightweight active 10" speakers

    Hi I use the QSC K10.2s regularly and have had them for a long time (got them as soon as .2 came out) Super reliable, good sounding, lots of I/O options, surprising amount of low end, light and loud for their size I have not experienced hiss issues, just gain stage correctly, don't run them...

    IEM’s around £300

    Hi Richard, If you can afford a bit more, getting a custom molded set of IEMs makes a huge difference. I use 64 Audio and highly recommend their stuff as they have a port that relieves pressure on your eardrums, reducing ear fatigue. But there are lots of options starting just a little above...

    Recording

    Hi again Nana, Please note, you didn't specify if the sample rate was 44.1 or 48K. If you play back a 48K file on an audio output on computer that is configured for 44.1 (default for many) it will be glitchy. They need to match. Note that you can use some audio apps and DAW software to...

    PA mix thru Monitors

    It helps greatly if you get custom molded IEMs. I recommend 64 Audio, their models have special porting which reduces pressures in the ear canal and largely removes that plugged ears effect you get with cheaper IEMs. Here's a link with some detail about that feature...
