Re: Theater....Wireless Mics..... The Maddness.... Tips? Help?





Transmitters are set so they don't clip.  I started to monitor that a couple days ago.  Generally, the actors put their own mics on.  I have assigned them both packs, and mics.  I have tried to keep an eye on the way they are miked, but I'm one vs 16 here. Also, one of the "genius" directors had the idea to grab a lapel mic as opposed to an earset for a few people because the mics clipping "could not be fixed technologically" (or they won't give me 5 minutes to do my job, one of the two haha) and they proceeded to place the mics in ridiculous places such as clipped to the frame of their glasses facing outward away from the person, and at the edge of their hair line in the center of their forehead also facing outward. Long story short, that genius idea failed them miserably like I told them it would haha. 


Also, not very satisfied with the presonus boards. Don't like the compressors on them, and find them to be slow and annoying to use as opposed to their competors (Ls9, M7, X32)  But, I'm spoiled and know there is much better out there. and thats a discussion for another thread.  Haha.
