@@agasetyo try using a different router. If you are using an older model it may be causing this issue. Also, try using different frequencies 2.5 / 5 and see if that helps.

Thanks for the kind words Ryan! I’m not too worried about the arm chair quarterbacks in the comments section! 😂😂😂

@@billylaguardia been mixing for 35 years and all my peers are old touring cats and corporate audio lifers. EQ is a “whatever it takes” proposition. Tools like Smaart are great but most audio mixers aren’t cut out to be system techs. I’m sure you’ve found that in many rooms that have been supposedly rung out, you end up EQing even more to get it where you feel it needs to be. But there’s also a tipping point to be aware of, when too much EQ (especially graphic) becomes counterproductive. Many rooms and system configurations are irreconcilable. The best techs I know, though, EQ even from song to song or moment to moment when necessary or just leave it alone sometimes with minor adjustments here or there. Temperature and audience capacity are two factors that determine that as well. Anyways, keep it up and have fun! Best of luck on your endeavors.

@@SrBarbasmusic correct. This was a performance of a band I mixed live. I recorded the performance then brought it back into the console at a later date to make this video.

@@korenucl3646 you can DIY it. It’s low voltage power. In this application the conduit was to obviously protect the cables, but I also wanted the junction boxes as a steady mounting base for the lights.

Um…we are corporate made.

They came with the router.

I love Dave. Huge fan of what he does and have been following him for years. He is a great writer too, his articles are always educational and spot on. Glad to see him on Beato.

Thanks! @@MichaelNatrin

@@jfrohne I can get everything set up in around an hour +/- with this band as far as time goes. The PA tune is an often debated subject with my videos. The trick with people in the room is to listen to music very softly so you can get an idea of where frequencies in the room are at. Next I stand with my back to the PA with a flat channel EQ and flat PA EQ’s and make clicking sounds with my mouth. This excites the higher frequencies in the room. It’s the same as the “teeth” part of “two” when saying “check one two”. The “squirrel noises” are a little less distracting than saying “check two”. That lets you get the ringy/squealing/howling noises in check with steep narrow notches. The music portion will let you make the speakers sound “flat” ish. Then dial in your vocal sound at the channel level. We very rarely ever get a real sound check. The first time I hear the PA is the vibe set followed by introductions followed by the first dance. The first time I hear the full band with a quiet room is the first dance which is a great way to get fast as solving problems!

@@billylaguardia wow, one Hour is quick. A similar setup usually takes me 2-3 hours. The „squirrel Noise“ is a great Idea. I sometimes do a „whistle sweep“ a little like smaart to excite all the Frequencies. That pretty distracting for others though. Thanks for your in-Depth Answer btw

Jon is the man. Truly one of my favorite drummers. Can confirm, he is still rippin!

Awww thanks! There are a lot of people who really don’t like the way I do things. But I will say I’ve probably done 200 or so gigs with this band and the methods used work. They have to play a variety of rooms that aren’t designed for music. It’s always a challenge acoustically: big boomy rooms where the band needs to remain around 95db. To add to the complexity, people generally will give speeches in front of the PA. You can dial the EQ back a bit once you are in a music venue, but the methods hold true regardless of venue.

@@billylaguardia one more question, how did you convinced those bands and players to switched from having amps to completely digital and go direct to the house? I would surely show these videos to them and have them see these band settings. Thanks again for sharing

@@hsa579 you can ask as many question as ya like! The “no amps” was a dictate from the band owners to make sure stage volume is as low as possible. It’s been that way since day one with this band. As a mixer, it’s a dream. No one really seems to mind as long as their IEM mixes are good. I hate amps on stage. They look cool. But they really muddy things up on stage in the wrong musicians hands.

I completely agree, I will send this video to them, let them watch and see if they would agree with me,, thanks again

@@hsa579 the amp modelers win based on the stereo outputs alone. The guitar players can have those sweet ping pong delays! “Lush” choruses. “Dense” reverbs. Etc…

Uomo bello! Non vedo l’ora arrivi il nostro prossimo! Tutto il Toto!!

Hey Jamie, that band has a very basic Linksys router. I carry the same model as a back up with my rig. I use a little more advanced set up with my rig consisting of an Luxul ABR4500 router, unifi long range access point and a POE switch. Here is a video showing the network rack I carry. I’ve upgraded the AP to the LR model since that video came out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIbYqKl8oMuIf7Msi=tFwBhY72ym5pDPVF

@@billylaguardia thank you very much

Awwwwwww thanks! 😘😘

Joey G has the hitzzzzzz!!! Miss you guys! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

You don’t think we tried that?

@@JoeGraziosi Hey, it's youtube. If the video doesn't show you trying it, it never happened!! :)

@@drunkelbroseph😂

Ditto!🙏

@@Rickpr8nu7px8v the speaker bags are RCF. We just leave them on so we don’t have to store them as “dead space” is always at a premium. The logo mesh covers are screwed in over the grills using the grill screws, they are separate from the RCF bags. Where we got them? I have no idea. The band owner bought them.

No problem! Thanks for watching! We have 12 mono IEM mixes with this rig. Below is a video on how I generally tune a room. Be warned, the comments section is spicy on that video. They think I am the EQ Antichrist 🤣🤣🤣 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pILbg6Fsn6pofpYsi=Yxb1s0bMfp3D1gOD

@@billylaguardia Enjoyed that video as well. Thank you. Do you set up "Room" mic's for the IEM's?

@@dodo13500 I don’t with this band. Since the stages are small and the singers are right up front, you don’t really need them.

@@billylaguardia Thank you. 🙏

Ahhhh. Nice! Thanks for that!! 🙌🙌

99.99% of people will install these with Hue’s cables. I think those people can probably figure out the T junctions and cables that come with the lights.

I was right there with ya! That’s why I made the video to help out my fellow sound humans!

Yes indeed.

@@billylaguardia i watched your video only one time but I get the feeling you should make your Apolo the master clock and run all other gear as slave and have the h9000 feed the audio in and out via ADAT.... Did you try that?

@@lachopakapura Hmmm… never thought of that. There is only 1 ADAT port. I just assumed it was “in” only vs bidirectional

@@billylaguardia you get 8 in and 8 out on a two optical cable... I say give it a try🏆

Did you watch the whole video? I showed the room, the speaker placement and 4 singers standing in front of the PA. I gave reasonable and logical explanations of why I was doing what I was doing. Assuming I did EQ with my eyes, wouldn't my EQ be flat to appease the comments section? I am not the singular authority on sound. However a wedding band with 12 people crammed into a corner in a country club with people singing and giving speeches in front of the PA requires different methods than a club, theater or arena show. If you have any suggestions that would help a room / set up like this sound better, I would love to hear them. In fact, I have 2 shows in 2 similar rooms this weekend. I will gladly employ any and all of your suggestions and credit you in the video.

They are separate…but not “that” separate.

@@billylaguardia I don't understand your design. By using normal outlets, the faceplate screws MAY connect their grounds together if the faceplate screws bite though the paint on the panel. With isolated ground outlets, the mounting strap and the faceplate screw are insulated from the protective earth connection, which would maintain the integrity of your isolated ground wires.

@@timothystockman7533 You are correct, however assuming that all grounds go back to the same buss bar in the panel/main distro we dont generally need to use iso outlets. That being said, we build everything per order. Happy to use iso outlets if a customer requests them. Most people dont want to spend the extra money for them just to isolate the outlet straps from the panel chassis. These Socapex distros are commonly used for lighting applications where ground loop noise is less of an issue than for audio.

No LPF or HPF. EQ as needed.

You absolutely can (and should) EQ your subs. I I was a guest at a wedding with 800 people tonight. The band had a Martin rig with a QL5. The double 18 subs sounded awful. A steeper LPF and a couple of dips would have tightened everything up. Hugely expensive rig that sounded terrible. Feedback the whole night. Perhaps an EQ that didn’t “look great” may have solved the problems….

@@billylaguardia ​ That's the other part of it too. A lot of folks think that all they need to do is spend a lot of money on a rig, and make it go really loud. Meanwhile, someone else spends 1/4th that amount, and knows how to eq and place their speakers properly (not even getting into dynamics and effects), and can sound WAY better.

Extracting the audio isn’t the issue. My problem is that I need the TV’s remote to attenuate the volume of the system. The extractors only give you the full volume PCM audio. The TV can not attenuate the PCM audio which is the problem. The Sonos AMP and Bar read the IR signal from the TV’s remote and attenuate the volume.

@@billylaguardia volume control is dome via CEC. And not via copying the ir signal. Look into the tv’s settings and make sure that it’s on. Each OEM has their own name for CEC. With the OREI box that I’m telling you it can be done. I have it with my LG C3 via EARC and you can control the volume with it. We deploy this all the time. The Orei box will appear as a visio sound bar that can do atmos. With the Orei box you can get rid of the sonos amp and go straight to the driverack and to studio mons and subs. Like what you always do. You’ve been missing out on EARC and CEC. With my explanation to the older video the problem with CEC is sometimes decides it won’t work anymore. But with my LG C3 it does work. I even have an older LG tv coincidentally that I control the volume from my apple tv because of CEC. Below is a list of CEC names from OEM’s. AOC: E-link Emerson: Fun-Link Funai: Fun-Link Hitachi: HDMI-CEC Insignia: INlink ITT: T-Link LG: SimpLinkSimpLink Magnavox: Fun-Link Mitsubishi: NetCommand for HDMI, Realink for HDMI Onkyo: RIHD, Remote Interactive over HDMI Panasonic: VIERA Link, HDAVI Control, EZ-Sync Philips: EasyLink, Fun-Link Pioneer: Kuro Link Roku: 1-Touch Play Runco: RuncoLink Samsung: Anynet+ Sharp: Aquos Link Sony: BRAVIA Link, BRAVIA Sync, Control for HDMI Thomson: T-Link Toshiba: CE-Link, Regza Link Vizio: CEC

AVB protocol is designed to work between manufacturers. MOTU and Presonus play nicely together. I have a few videos on this topic. Here is one as an example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5PPppZui82cj7s
