[QUOTE="kristianjohnsen, post: 42987, member: 441"] Re: New Year's Eve Gigs Hello Lee. Always fun to share. I was hired by a club that had a cover band on stage. Nice young men with a great attitude on stage made the whole gig a lot more bearable despite a residual cold, difficult acoustics, less-than-great PA and so many people dancing on tables I literally could not see the stage or the PA for a full 30 minutes of the set... Luckily, I was able to convince the client to hire me and one of my own mixers as a package including mics - giving me at least a fighting chance. I ran the stereo master into a matrix on the Yamaha DM 2000 to be able do get double the EQ filters. Some funky stuff going on either in the speakers or the black box that came with them - or both. I think I had close to 20 dB reduction below 120 Hz on my mains EQs. One top speaker was stacked so weird I just disconnected it to solve the issue. Massive amounts of about 1 kHz back up on stage from the mains, first time in a long time with feedback issues from the mains at soundcheck for me. Of course they needed 5 open vocals including one for drums. Luckily I had three Optogates and a Audix OM7 for the drummer, both helped out a lot. Got through it all in one piece with both client and band happy so all is good. No photo I'm afraid, but I'm sitting here thinkling about listening to a recording I made right now. Happy new year!
