Alto busker dislikes

[@scottbecker3485]

App also lacks the ability to adjust the channel volumes. And the mic preamp breaks up when you sing loudly, or you need to set gain too low. And no reliable way to set gain, except listening for distortion.

Hey! Great video, thank you for posting it! What can you say about Mackie Thump Go? I’m doing gigs in various bars and restaurants and have a small basically monitor from Tc Helicon - Voicelive FX150 and thinking of switching to something quality one. I mostly play with just mic and acoustic guitar and doing looping time to time. I’m planning to use the same speaker to do some busking as well Thank you once again and looking forward to hear your opinion about Mackie for this matters :)

@@shurapirlik hey thank you for your comment. Don’t forget to subscribe! I think the mackie is an amazing monitor and even better for busking since it’s louder and gets better sound quality (a greater frequency range due to its size) taking size into consideration. The only benefit or upside to using the alto instead, is that it has built in reverb for a mic or guitar. If that’s important to you, then alto is the way to go. But keep in mind that you will lose is big range of sound frequencies that can be important when singing or using a guitar.

Downside of Mackie is from the Aux out you can not run a sub. You have to run from sub to top which then you lose Bluetooth.

@@WWeiss-nv5vz oh i never ran into a situation where i had to plug them in this way. So if that’s true, that’s a bit of a bummer (specifically) when running a sub from what I understand. On the flip side, I usually ran them as my monitor and never as a regular loudspeaker so my phone was always hardwired to my controller or the monitor anyway. I’m finding it difficult to find a reason as to why I would ever run sound via Bluetooth in a gig or more professional setting that would require that much sound (ie a sub)to begin with. Maybe the Mackie woofer links up to the mackie speaker? 🤷🏾‍♂️ Let me save you a headache though with this hack. Buy a Bluetooth receiver from Amazon for like 10 bucks. Use that receiver and plug it in to your 1/8 jack on your mackie and now you have Bluetooth and xlr linking with a $10 Bluetooth receiver anyway. 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾 or is it both the aux and Bluetooth that don’t give out sound?
