A week of being a live audio engineer

[@sob7741]

Scanners will always have a place in anyone’s heart you ran lights in the 90s. We ran Marin 218 518 and robo color IIs way back then.

[@DCAVL]

I'm thinking about getting them out this weekend.🤪

[@sob7741]

Awesome everything old is new again Hopefully you can shoot some content I’d love to see what you do with them. Wish that when I was in production that there was the technology there is now to capture all that went into our gigs and the shenanigans that we got into. Love the channel .

[@mariosandoval7541]

Great content, vocals sound killer. You know, I did sound for a big church in the Chicago land area with a waves soundgrid and a CL5. Drums sounded much better once I used the board channel processing. I tend to only use the extra help of the waves when I encounter severe issues with the channels that can’t be fixed from the board.

[@chrishammillaudio]

Very nice. Giving me camera angle inspiration for my next videos :)

[@DCAVL]

Chris Welcome! Glad I can atleast inspire some creative thought. Thanks for watching. Hope you are working on some good stuff yourself. I bet you didn’t expect to be mixing Church livestreams a year ago :) . I’ll keep my eyes open for the next stream. Thanks again Chris!

[@chrishammillaudio]

@@DCAVL fixing church mixes has been the most challenging, yet most rewarding experience of my entire sound career. Always a pleasure catching you in the chat. Next stream is tonight.

[@mistermistero652]

tbh, as a german, us church seems pretty crazy. (content rocks!)

[@DavidMend18]

Works for me. I am a church sound tech for mixer and I appreciate you doing this video

[@DCAVL]

David thanks for watching and being in the comments. Keep mixing at the Church and I'm glad you enjoy the channel!

[@davykelly3053]

A CL1 & CL3 in the same venue 🤯. In the US, church donations must be huge.

How you are using waves plug-in on windows machine

[@DCAVL]

They run fine for me on windows. No issues that I know of. Some people even build waves servers out of windows pcs.

[@partharora9627]

@@DCAVL can you make a full tutorial on it I am from India and watching your video regularly

[@Guiliiiing]

Wow, haven't seen a 812 in 15+ years, these fixtures were awesome!

[@My_Special_k]

depending on the network infrastructure onsite i would VLAN any tech control and have a seperate WiFi network for tech control. then you can roam around the whole venue and still be able to connect to the consoles. would be good for the break out rooms.

[@kaggez]

For the roboscan 812. If you need DMX you need to invert the signal. so pin 2 goes to 3 and 3 goes to 2

[@DCAVL]

Awesome tip thanks! I have not tried to run them with DMX yet. I plan on hooking them up tonight after we finish a install. Thanks for watching! Would you use them at a show?

[@kaggez]

@@DCAVL I would not use them in a mobile environment. The mirror is way too fragile. But in an install. they are still nice, if the room is not the biggest.

[@DCAVL]

@@kaggez sounds about right.

[@Benjithz]

Love the channel but is there a way that you can help me to mix with a behringer xair?

[@DCAVL]

Email me at [e-mail] or join the discord and we can answer any questions you could have. I have used those xairs for years.

[@YetAnotherElectronicsChannel]

Churches in the US are really crazy 😅 over here in Europe the average church systems are a couple of condenser-mics, an auto-mixer and some small 100V speakers.

[@DCAVL]

It never ends here in the US. More, more,more!

[@PKCubed]

I could imagine the roboscans being useful for small stages where a larger mover would take up a lot of space.

[@DCAVL]

That's what I'm thinking.

[@nialldurcan1762]

ETC makes a highly capable modern version called the cyberlight. Expensive, but there still is a small market for scanners (mostly in attraction rides where they might need to be concealed by hiding the body behind a structure and poking the mirror out around it).

[@tsaudio365]

What would be the best type of mics to use for a big choir

[@DCAVL]

If you need something really small Earthworks FlexWand 730 Integrated Microphone Boom Stand. Other than that a lot of other mics are out that work great for choirs. Email me at [e-mail] or join the discord and we can talk more about a mic that might fit your system better. Thanks for watching and being in the comments!

[@Papaburr97]

Really enjoyed this content!

[@kreamztv709]

question. whats ur buffer size for superrack performer ? also what laptop specs u use for that ? ive been doin it on x32 with 96buffersize n turns out the latency is just too much for monitoring especialy iem,tried to measure it out with smart n turns out that the latency of 96buffersize is around 11-12 ms without any single plugin inserted.tried to add some plugins like q6 n waves tune real time n it become more than 15ms of latency.

[@fredrickwilcox6073]

I really enjoy watching your videos. I'm a drummer at heart but I have a DJ business that I've been doing for 15 years and now doing more and more Production gigs and installs.

[@DCAVL]

Fred, Thanks for letting me know you enjoy my videos. It’s the big reason I’m still making what I can. 15 years in business is awesome. I couldn’t be a DJ for one night…Let me know if there is anything you may want to see in the future. Thanks for being here in the comments!

The Vi 3000 sounds amazing

[@DCAVL]

I love them.

[@derekholife]

Make sure you’re taking a mono source out of the piano, just because you’re only taking left doesn’t mean you’re getting 100% of the signal you need from him.

[@DCAVL]

O yeah it was the L/mono output. Thanks for watching!

[@pileofstuff]

Roboscans! That brings back some memories from my younger days.

Politicing from the platform? Boo.

[@DCAVL]

How so? These are all clips from events. I'm in a saloon mixing tonight so the next video will be a different style.

[@videditorEB1]

@@DCAVL No worries brother, it’s Chicago. “Taking voting rights and killin’ our kids in the streets”? 😂 I’m sure you know, there are laws against preachers having tax exempt status and espousing political views from the pulpit. Doesn’t seem to matter much here. Love your stuff, appreciate your mixing tips immensely. Have a great night!
