Crazy 3 Band Gig: Bike Week Live Sound & Setup Behind the Scenes

[@Djluxuryinla]

Hdl 10’s 🔥🔥🔥💪🏼💪🏼 I Still haven’t had the chance to test out those 8008’s but they look like they pack a punch!

They have a really tight sound. It does help running 4 though.

PA sound good! Looks like a fun gig.

[@DustinRadtke]

Hey, thanks! That one was a challenge, but I learned a lot from it. Your intro on your lighting video was really well done, it definitely makes me want to step up my game!

@@DustinRadtke I wanted to step up my game. Now I just hate editing.

LoL, Preach!

Couple things of concern. The downstage truss only resting on one of the forks… Also, the line array are splayed to only truly cover about 60 feet away from The stage. Thirdly, that power distro pulls in two phases of 120v on two separate legs. There’s no transformer actually stepping down to 120v. Finally, those lifts are not kosher for lifting PA and trussing. They look like material lifts, not line array lifts…

[@DustinRadtke]

Thanks for the feedback! I wasn’t responsible for the setup, but I’ll definitely pass your concerns along to the right people. What would you do differently?

[@jessecoonen7881]

@@DustinRadtke obtain the proper front loading lifts for line array/trussing. And the span of trussing should at least be resting on both forks each side.

Do you still like HDL10? For how many people is 3 per side enough according to your criteria? We have recently ordered 4 HDL10

[@DustinRadtke]

I really like them. They’re super bright but also really clear. One of the bands even said it was the best they’ve ever sounded and asked if that could take us on tour with them! :) As for numbers, I haven’t used them for anything massive yet. Running 3 per side was loud, and I’m pretty sure they had more headroom. You’d need to test them out first, and if you have to push them too hard, consider adding another box per side. Another guy locally ran 4 per side and did 2k people easy.
