Thank God For Casters... Live Sound PA System Setup

What's up audio peeps! In this gig log, we're setting up a live sound PA system at the Hickory St. Annex in Dallas, TX. We had to push our gear up some hills, but lucky for us, everything is on casters!

Don't stop with these videos mate. This type of content is really lacking on KZbin at the moment. A lot of the people tuning in will be DJ's and musicians with gear acquisition syndrome wanting to spend 50K on equipment unnecessarily🙋😂 try and sneek a few pro tips in there and will all keep coming back. Nice work.

[@SilverCreekAudio]

Thanks for the shout out man! I'll keep the videos coming! I'm one of the gear heads too hahaha

[@SingAlongWithJimmyOfficial]

May have just spent thousands on my new rack setup as a result of watching SCA 😂

[@cjazzon]

Great Video content, very professional, very informative and love your the way you filmed everything👌

[@SilverCreekAudio]

Thanks for your support! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@julianwilliamsofficial]

I really miss live sound work but your videos help fill some of the void and it provides me happiness. Great content! Keep going! 🤙🤙

[@SilverCreekAudio]

Thanks dude. I love it and I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos. Appreciate the love!

[@arguy2021]

[@tangyspongesauce]

I like those speaker stands better than the tripod style ones. I need them... lol

[@SilverCreekAudio]

They're pretty sleek! Thanks for watching

[@fenishajyrwa3489]

Can you make a video of what you have in your vehicle? It looks pretty safe for the gear and also looks very easy for loading. Would be really grateful.😊

[@SilverCreekAudio]

You bet! I have a van walkthrough video in the works. Thanks for watching!

[@lokmanjl9797]

Nice setup🔥

[@SilverCreekAudio]

Thanks and thanks for watching!

[@djcalvin681]

Thx 😊. Glad I didn’t help with load in Well done bro

[@SilverCreekAudio]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@djkelvinog]

So nice❤ please could you do a review on your sprinter van. Especially on tie down of your gears

[@SilverCreekAudio]

Sprinter van walkthrough video is in the works! I'll make sure to include how I like to pack it too. Thanks for watching!

[@andrewsereman833]

Thank you for the video. What are those cables you are using to your speakers? where did you buy them or are they custom made?

[@SilverCreekAudio]

They're called siamese twin cables made by Pro Co. I bought them from sweetwater music. Thanks for watching!

[@andrewsereman833]

@@SilverCreekAudio Thank you

[@alexsevilla820]

Nice setup what size are your utility road case ?

[@SilverCreekAudio]

Hey! ID: 18.5″H x 22.75″W x 17.5″D OD: 19.75″H (25″H including casters) x 24.25″W x 19.25″D Thanks for watching!

[@28TSDJ]

Loved it, curious did you play music or did someone come in for that? Didnt catch if you said it or not

[@SilverCreekAudio]

So, the groom built a "mashup playlist", which I was skeptical about, but he did a really good job surprisingly. All the tracks were level matched and hovered around -19 to -16dB which I happy with! I just got to chill all night.

[@gnrdragonforcefan64]

Man, I can't get over how professional your set-up is. I'm in a couple of different bands and I'm essentially the only one that knows how to run sound/run a mixer so I have to set up everything. Our stages always look like a spaghetti mess haha. Also, one of my bands is trying to buy a new set of PA speakers, I was recommended the EV ZLX series and saw that you're using them here! Do you use a 12s or a 15s with the subs? What would be your recommendation for a 6 piece classic rock band that typically plays to a couple hundred people? We're not trying to spend a TON of money and have considered going a cheaper route with Harbinger or Mackie, but the EVs are superior quality. Do you think they're worth it? Cheers and keep the vids coming!

[@abrahammusicm5544]

I wouldn’t reccomend mackies speakers.

[@youtubak777]

Definitely avoid Harbinger or Mackie, the ZLXs are very good, but I really don't think that even with subs they're adequate to do a rock band for couple hundred. Up to 100ish people, probably a good choice. For any more, I'd go with at least the RCF Art 945-As, if you're really on a budget and have subs, then RCF Art 932-As. They're more expensive but COMPLETELY worth it! I think these are the best sounding speakers in their price range (and maybe even a class higher). And not by a bit... They just wipe the floor with everything in this range. And they can push quite a crowd! If you'd like to stay with EV, I'd go with the EKX line tho. But honestly, they are getting to the price of the RCFs, which sound way better...

[@soundgineering4771]

Ohhh in those 3 hour copyrighted time, I thought you were at least show us a bit of the mixing console screen and show how many inputs you had and how they were connected. lol. But not a bad setup and packup video.

[@SilverCreekAudio]

Haha, I hear you! Will try to sneak in a peek at the mixing console next time. Thanks for watching!

[@nana-ld4cr]

Dude you are going to hurt your back if you keep lifting those subs like that. Please find a better way to do it

[@SilverCreekAudio]

Thanks for your concern! AND thanks for watching!
