Well, it was almost a weekend off, but that's the way it was. 🙂
For this band, of course, the situation is that you are able to go to a gig at about 10 minutes' notice, when you know fairly precisely which equipment each of you brings. In addition, the band's freezing hard skills make it easier for the sound man, when there is no mud from the stage, and the saunas are already top of the line.
You can't write any big stories about the job itself, because it went almost perfectly with the old formula. Of course, one of the differences was that the other soloist was sick, so we went straight to the trio.
The basic saunas were already found in the mixer and in Czech I did just a balance check and small fine-tuning for a few channels. The AP guitar wax varies slightly with different gigs, so small adjustments will be made if necessary. Now, of course, we went to that traditional Fender, which needs a little high-frequency boost.
Public Shamen Petrelli concert a week ago. Wla's connection would break a few times in the middle of the set. The connection did not completely disappear, but some times it happened that when I pressed the mutegroup of the effects, the group light went on, but the channels themselves did not become stuffy. Similarly, the other way was when we needed to turn off the mute. The reason for this was, most likely, the fair mass between the hair and the head of the wlan, when the signal was not strong enough. This time, I put extra pieces on the mixer, even though there was a different hubcap in use than the Public Shame gigs. I recently acquired the Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-M Pro base station, which is officially designed for outdoor use, but also works well inside, and I can fix it to a better location with a quack, than the standard device inside the mixer. There was no more fear that, at least, the connection would break. 🙂
The band used to peddle three sets of about half an hour, and although it seemed to be a bit calmer in terms of population on Saturday night, the band was only strangely full again towards the end. It was also warm when even more people came in and praised the sound. And, as always with this band, there were some astonishing announcements from the audience about how tough the guys are.
The picture below is taken during the first set and even the mixer has at least one metre of space (which was then no longer available during the next set) 🙂
