starbucks going right through me... be back in about 40 min :rofl2:

Fak, that was a really bad Saturday lol. I was comfy in my chair and actually debated answering the phone :rofl2:

I do that now on the weekends. Sales guys like to call at 9 in the morning on Saturdays because VPN is down. I'm hesitant. It's usually because they're on crappy hotel wifi, but still.... I want to sleep in. Leave me alone.

can you play tonight? i'll be around.

reps out!

I will be house/dog sitting tonight. I am not sure how fast his network is but I might lug the PC over there lol.

dang i forgot i have teeth cleaning today after work. i hate going to the dentist

Everyone made it! :tup:

Sorry for the premature post - that's just my nature ;)


Had a quick debriefing from an inspection yesterday that I knew would cause me to miss the 10Kth post.

Figures.... kenchan posts something I can make a joke about and the thread moves....:shakes head:

:icon18:

I got your back ;)

Thanks JAR... work computer is an Apple and I'm doing good just to work the damn mouse....:eek:

What do you mean it only has one button?!? :wtf:

:icon17:

haha. Don't hurt yourself! Let me know. i've got nothing going on after work.

Pinch and scroll with 3 fingers!

Now someone remind me why apple has a 4Gb chip between the relay and camera on all macbooks? The camera doesn't need that large of a storage cache for buffer on such a crap selfie cam.

Please refrain from using the word "premature".

Thank you in advance.

Your thanks was premature.

Tomorrow is Friday. Don't jinx me. :icon17:

About to drop some fire beats up in hur!

never really understood why there are so many knobs and you see people using like maybe 3-4 -_-

Waiting for FedEx to deliver my knob
Then I can head out of town to pick up more go fast goodies :)

Yeah, the case is so big it BARELY fits in the cab of the truck :rofl2:

Oh, know anyone looking for a deal on two (2) MSI 980's? I think I might pick up something new.

Because all the tweaks were done hrs in advance during stage rehersal

Id love to go nuts with that thing. no idea what I am doing but that is a lot of stuff to play with :icon17:

:yum:

Minus equalizing everything with those knobs, the general usage of it is fairly straightforward.

The lowest row is generally labeled with what sound equipment is tied to it.

guitar|drums|drums 2| FOH| Bass

Every knob above those individual equipment rows controlls the equalizer basically for that specific feed. So you can adjust mics, tunes, etc on the fly.

The sliders are generally used for lazy stuff like volume.

It's obviously more complicated than that, but that's the basics. Oh, and you can place asteroid on them.

Buttons are fun

As in pew pew asteroids?

Always wondered what you guys did while the show was on :p

I was a lighting coordinator, so i actually did stuff during the shows. But on the off chance, we usually just hung around back stage and messed with each other over headsets.

Think super Troopers, but with stagehands. Asking the nubs for metric crescent wrenches, and sending the really fat guys up 2 story ladders to lift a few hundred pounds of load bearing weights onto the traveling lines for curtains.

Or seeing how much gaff tape was needed to tape the midget to the wall.

I loved running audio for clueless singers. They'd signal for more gain or whatever into the speakers or mic even though we did rehersals beforehand. I'd have audio set up perfectly. So i'd just touch a random knob and pretend to twist it. 90% of the time, the singer would signal back with a thumbs up like I actually did something....

Went to a block party a few weeks back in a friends neighborhood. It was a 'first annual' and very small. But they had the road closed off, a stage set up for the band, the whole nine yards. Was just some local band, some covers some original tunes. They were actually half decent. Anyways they had this sound guy there who apparently does some pretty big stadium concerts and it was funny as hell seeing him run around with sound checks and getting everything set up just right. Even during the show he'd go side to side with some sort of meter testing and tweaking and whatever else. Glad to see him taking his job so seriously, even if he was only getting maybe $100 for this small town block party gig with maybe 30 people :p
