Thanks for this You Tube Channel Interview with Bob Heil. It’s a remarkable achievement story . I own a HEIL SOUND The NASHVILLE Marissa , Illinois U.S.A. 4 Channel with dual 1/4” Inputs Bass Treble Volume ( Left ) Reverb ( Right ) With Reverb Master Volume Monitor 1/4 @ Monitor Out . With Two Black Cabinets that had a thick black foam it was falling apart so I made something of it . Yes ! How about the Talk Box . My first Guitar was Electric a Gibson Melody Maker 63-64 original sunburst Like the Les Paul Jr. and the friendly seller was lead guitar player in a psychedelic band and watched and heard him play with a tube in his mouth like a harmonica but played it . All our eyes bulged out at the clear volume at the high end . It was great . Thanks agin for this Channel remembrance of Mr . Bob Heil . He had class . That’s what I enjoy here . Personal opinion .

The production values of this video are atrocious, with images constantly popping on and off the screen, right over top of the people we're trying to watch. Who thought that adding those distractions would make for a better interview?

Thank you for part 1 of a good friend and brother, Dr. BOB Heil. Bob is an awesome guy and a friend to all whom he meets. I've talked to Bob quite a few times on the phone and on the air. He takes the time to help anybody that needs help as long as they are willing to listen. Bob is a wealth of information when it comes to sound. He has done a lot for Amateur Radio as well. His input was used for the transmit audio settings on two of the latest top names in tranceivers including the Parametric EQ Settings for the latest Yaesu radio's. I can hardly wait for Part II of your session with Dr. Heil. If you see him tell him that i said hello as we all wait for Part II. He is a very accomplished organist too. ✌️

I remember chunking my 2 huge Collins units for a sleek Swan 350... Duh. Ham radio is probably created more electronic techs in the past; just because of basic electronics knowledge and Ohm’s Law being on the application for a novice. Bob, you took it to another level. I used to lug Phase Linear tube amps around with multiple Altec A7 cabinets. The first Kustom 300 blew my mind. But your book from the mid 70’s??? changed everything. Thanks immensely for all your work, inspiration, and tenacity.

45 years ago I bought the components to build a pair of studio speakers from Ken Berger, Kenton built the x-overs. The system had ATC bass long coil 12” woofers with Emilar EA-175 compression drivers on Community Light & Sound EW-500 horns with an acoustic lens and JBL slot tweeters. Sweet system that was quite enjoyable, still have all the drivers but the boxes are long gone. K&L was my first experience with high output PA equipment, still remember hearing Willie ‘Loco’ Alexander & The Boom Boom Band cranked through a Community Leviathan with the EAW MR-109 midrange horn and a large format Altec driver (288?) on the high end, changed my life I tell you what.

Rupert Neve, was my boss and friend. The first job we did when there was 3 of us working at Focusrite was the sub-mixer that went into the SSL at Air Montserrat after they'd sold the custom Neve to A&M. I went down to Air London to deliver with Rupert's son John. A genius and a true gentleman, greatly missed.

I was there at the NAMM in 2012 and met him then at his booth. I remember his presentation then. I played the main stage with Tori Roze & The Hot Mess. I am the Drummer. Serge' Chaloff McCoy. I met him then and was quit impressed with these mics. My Uncle Dr. Lonni Smith, World renown Organist who recently passed was at that show as well as Stevie Wonder. I have pic of him playing an edrum kit. I played drums at 10 High in Atlanta Ga. Live Band Soul Karaoke that we started and is still going. The Sound guy Jay Randell, because of my playing wanted to hear more of my technique through the system so he purchased all Heil mics for the drums and for vocals too. It transformed that sound into something I never heard before and that was something I never forgot. I now own a Heil PR22 for my vocals and will purchase the PR35 and the PR48 Kick drum Mic so on. I used to use the Sure SM58 and the Beta 58A the Beta was surprisingly better than the SM but when I used the PR22 I could actually hear how my voice naturally sounded amplified. I dropped my beta and it broke. No longer works at all. So with these Heil's, I love them!!!!

Love the content but I feel like I have A.D.D. watching this. Its just so hard to follow when it isn't a natural flowing conversation, but instead constant jump cuts. This causes all the inserted photos to fly across the screen before you even understand what you are seeing.

@jeffmcelroy5364 2 жыл бұрын

@aboutprosound Suggestion- This content is "nurd" driven. Let the video editor take the weekend off. Loose the BK music. Keep the historical pics on screen for more than .3 seconds. Throw the jump cuts out the window and just let the thing roll for an hour. This aint History channel cutting up motorcycles to make choppers and tryin to dig up dirty drama for ratings. Some of the BIGGEST channels on YT right now are dudes building stuff with lawnmower engines without a stitch of background music and ZERO editing. Serious. MILLIONS of subs and even more views. Strip it down and let the CONTENT speak for its self or in this case for HIM self. Youve got Bob Heil sitting RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU and the editor is making a TV commercial out of it. Ugggg! FWIW its worth ive met Bob a couple times at NAMM and he was super. Loved telling John Entwistle stories ha ha

We are sorry you didn't like our 1st Bob Heil video. However, we are trying to create an alternative to the multitudes of talking head videos (many of which are very popular). If you prefer to "watch" podcasts, then AboutProSound not for you. Nevertheless, your feedback regarding both the image timing and the background music is something we continue to refine. AboutProSound focuses on the development of the sound reinforcement industry rather than stories about the musicians etc.

@jeffmcelroy5364 2 жыл бұрын

@@AboutProSound i understand that this channel is aimed at people interested in Pro Sound...thats why im here seeking information and historical insight, and thats EXACTLY why employing all the typical hollywood style editing methods dont so the CONTENT any justice. The actual meat of what you guys are trying to set in front of a viewer is swept off the plate and a piece of cake is set before them as the main course. The Bob Heil interview felt as though it was a trailer for the up comming feature. Its a manner of editing thats used to convey this sort of mood that unfourtunatly your editor does not recognize or understand. Forest through the trees scenerio etc. I doubt the editor or producers actually wanted or intended to diminish the content they are making but they are simply approaching the task from the wrong angle. As i said, jump cuts, music overlay, fast graphics etc dont line up with the content nor the intent. Editing is a very emotionally tuned function of film making. A good editor can tune the emotion and help create a deeper experience for the viewer. I felt this video did the polar opposite of that. Simplify simplify simplify....this is something that works REAL well in sound production as well, as i know you guys must be well awear of. Thanks for taking the time to reply and good luck.

My dad drove me to Ye Old Music Shop in Marissa from St. Louis when I was 13 (1973). Together we picked out my new Gibson Les Paul guitar--tobacco sunburst. A broken Gibson SG hung from the ceiling--it was one that Pete Townsend had destroyed in a recent show. Cool! Before we finalized the Les Paul purchase... we walked down the street to the diner for a burger, fries and a Coke. (Same place in the video where Jerry Garcia grabbed an ice cream in this video?). That Les Paul is still my #1. GREAT rock & roll memories. Thanks dad. Love you! 🥰🎸

Around 1974 I went to a concert of the Jay Barry band at the theme park Six Flags over St. Louis (then called ... over Mid-America). The Old Glory Amphitheater in the park had it's own permanent system but Barry supplied four identical speaker stacks spaced in the four corners of the House, and the mixing console had joysticks for quad positioning. When Jay Barry played ELP's "Lucky Man", synth sounds were re-positioned in the various speaker stacks. It was great to see that quad console in this video, and hear from the innovator.
