Tedster Posted April 16, 2001 Share Posted April 16, 2001 Okay, discuss please...all you live giggers out there... What's in your rack? What is IMPERATIVE? What would you like to have that you don't have? What can you get by without? (I'm talking sound reinforcement...not really guitar effects processors, although you can throw that in, too)...

nrg music Posted April 16, 2001 Share Posted April 16, 2001 Hey Ted U got me on this one, I'm ashamed to say I don't know, except we've got a bunch of compressor / limiters, a couple of delays and FX units.... ooops.. I'm gonna go find out and i'll let you know. It's kinda strange isn't it I spend all my time when we're not gigging producing and engineering in the studio, but I have no interest in what is actually in the live rack.... I guess its 'cos live is my relaxation and our FOH guy is really good so I can relax and just concentrate on playing.... and ya know what I LUV IT...

donfolkcafe.com Posted April 17, 2001 Share Posted April 17, 2001 I have the Yamaha O1V. Everything I need is built in. (comps, limiters, effects....) Outboard I use DBX 1231 EQ's FOH & MON. I use Countryman & KT DI's. Also included in the rig are a Presonus Blue Tube pre-amp (makes a good DI/spare) and a Symetric Pre-amp for when I want 16 inputs. I also sometimes travel with a DA38 for when I want to multi-track record live. Don Goguen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoodSound Posted April 18, 2001 Share Posted April 18, 2001 Here's my basic setup for solo/duet gigs and also for open mikes: EV mikes to Mackie 1402 VLZ board. In the rack: Samson power module; Alesis MEQ 230 2-channel EQ; Alesis 3630 Compressor/Noise gate (these are 2-channels each, plugged into the inserts of the Mackie); Alesis Nanoverb (usually set on plate 1 or 2 with effect adjust at 12:00 position). The Nanoverb leaves board from Aux send 2 and returns to Aux return 1. Aux send one goes to Yamaha MK 101 pwr monitors mounted on mike stands or (for larger rooms) a Peavey 500 PA to twin Peavey 112TLM wedge monitors. Mains are Mackie SRM 450 active speakers or, for larger halls or outdoor venues I run a Peavey 1200 PA into 2 or 4 Peavey SP5G speakers. This setup is fairly basic; the input side doesn't vary much. My gigs and open mikes are mostly acoustic events, and I try to make the performers as comfortable as possible by giving them a good monitor mix, and sending the effects to the monitors. The Mackie board is a delight to use because you can solo a channel and set levels in just seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
