Re: PK Sound



Idiots? Where? No, I wasn't calling anyone names...



Don't we all wish it was that simple.





What I was trying to get across is the concept of doing separate "A-Chain" and "B-Chain" processing for different sources depending on what you are doing at a given time.


People who are stuck using the low cost audio DSP boxes often do not realize the extreme flexibility that can be had with a higher end DSP that allows you to assemble your own processing chain. In this case, having one processing chain for DJ music and another for live sources is something that has been done for quite a while in a lot of the larger scale venues like sports stadiums. They can make the canned playback sound one way without negatively impacting the live announcer's voice. This can easily be extended to what we are discussing in this thread and can allow you to install and use one set of racks and stacks while doing two totally different and disparate functions.




Yes, often times if you just bring enough rig for the gig, there isn't a problem. However, EDM events do require more rig for a given gig than the typical rock event does so proper planning can go a long way.
