[QUOTE="Josh Millward, post: 89699, member: 970"] Re: Analog FOH, Outboard opinions/preferences Oh what fun this would be! 8)~8-)~:cool: It would probably work out something like this: I'd have probably 2-3 EFX units, including specifically TC Electronics D-Two and TC Electronics M-One XL and then maybe a Yamaha something or another SPX. If this system were for me, I'd definitely put a 5 band parametric EQ on each output, preference to the Meyer CP-10, but the Klark one and two channel parametric EQ's would be great or even an old Symetrix 551 or something similar. Regardless, it is strongly preferred for all EQ's to be the same brand so that the similar adjustments on each one result in similar behavior. But if this system were for someone else to use (such as the average band engineer), I'd probably put in good old Klark DN-360 or DN-370 graphics. One channel for each output. Then I would fill up the rest of the available rack space with compressors and gates, probably along the lines of 2 compressor channels to each gate channel with a minimum starting point of 4 gates and 8 compressors. Preferred compressors are absolutely the Drawmer DL241 with Drawmer 6-packs being acceptable. The gates should be Drawmer DS201. Then I would absolutely enjoy working on the Soundcraft MH-4 console. That one is absolutely one of my favorites! Of course, things being what they are these days, if I were a travelling band engineer, I would probably show up with my own digital console on stage and operate it with a tablet or iPad out front, regardless if you had all this gear on hand. I'd be sad I couldn't use this awesome system, but I've already got the whole damn thing in my travelling digital package so I can't really justify using all your gear. So, yes, this then brings us around to having a good way to patch my portable console into your house system. You should have a great way to do that, preferably with extra inputs into the system processor so we don't have to repatch your console to mine at set change. [/QUOTE]
