This post is just to say a public thank you to Dave Rat.

Knowing that he is currently on tour with Soundgarden, I wanted to go check out a show.

This was at Ottawa Bluesfest, and the main stage was a MILO rig. Dave was carrying his own SB28's, he used 12 boxes which was plenty. Dave's overall mix was just the right volume for rock without being harsh. The drum sounds in particular were outstanding.

After the show, Dave came over and chatted for a few minutes with me and a friend, discussing a new processing trick he was experimenting with for subwoofer coverage. There wasn't enough time to talk about it at length, but let me say that the subs sounded terrific and the coverage was VERY VERY even.

Dave was also kind enough to give me the band's set list which is a nice memoir from the show.

I appreciate that Dave made time to spend a few minutes chatting with me given the hectic schedule. He is a truly great asset to the sound community and just generally speaking a great guy.

I met him here in Atlanta at a RHCP show. Not only is he a wealth of knowledge but a genuinely nice guy
