[QUOTE="Jay Barracato, post: 5917, member: 24"] that I had one of the best "kick" sounds he had heard in a long time. He described it as crisp, and punchy, but with depth. The show was three solo singer songwriters in a row, my client was the middle act. All three were guitar and vocals, it just happens that the act I was with plays a kick at the same time. I thought the setup was pretty basic. The subs are on the main outs with a crossover, pretty appropriate EV boxes for the room. Dropped a house beta 52 in as a mic. FOH was just a mixwiz and dbx 166 on an insert. I just used a small boost on the low, a larger boost at 800hz and 2000 hz and a step rolloff on the highs. No gate but solid compression at about 7:1, fast attack, slow release with the threshhold set so the signal just stayed in compression. Nothing special in the approach, but nice solid results that the audience certainly noticed. Oh yeah, did I mention the "drum" was actually a tweed covered wooden suitcase? [/QUOTE]
