For the calibration, there was no mention from Presonus that a re-calibration would be conducted. Though, a re-calibration of the faders can be conducted at any time manually.

I completely missed that!!

For an unstable voltage environment, you should consider adding a voltage regulator. Then, connect your Furman PL-Plus to the voltage regulator. The PL-Plus should provide the RFI/EMI protection while the regulator provides consistent power.

@@stageleftaudio What´s the best voltage regulator or what´s do you sugest me?

There can be a wide variety of regulators available, depending on where you are located. Just make sure the regulator you decide on can provide an adequate amount of power for whatever gear you plan on connecting to it (do NOT connect amplifiers to regulators). One of our regulators (120V/15amp - USA power) can maintain our large Presonus console, the FOH rack, a charging station, a laptop computer, with power to spare.

@@stageleftaudio Thanks for your reply. Basically, I want to protect my console against peak voltage. I live in Colombia and we have a lot of small clubs or bar with poor electric infrastucture. Our main problem is with old houses used as live venues without a new electric system. Thanks, again. You are my teacher 👍

I am saddened many times to see decent gear not being taken care of! Thanks for your comment.

You are absolutely correct. My references to the gear was only for the gear I use (what was shown in the video). I did not mention anything in the video, but made reference to it around the 19:44 time mark (in a text slide). There is some great UPS gear available... though, it is more on the expensive side. Thanks for your comment.

@@stageleftaudio Ah okey, yee i missed the bottom text.

May be time for some cases!

It never ends!

I too would love a link to the lights, an Amazon search didn't find them. Much better that the Furman PDU lights we currently use.

I searched 1u rack lights on google and came up with those exact lights from amazon, also a similar unit from Nady.

For the lights: (from B&H Photo) Auray DLED6-RM Rackmount Dual 6-LED Gooseneck Lights www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1395811-REG/auray_dled6_rm_rack_mount_dual_6.html The Furman lights do ok, but these goose-neck lights are much better.

@@stageleftaudio 👍✅ Tks

Thank you!

Thanks for your comment. Some UPS's may provide voltage regulation (all the time), but some do not (like the ones we use).

Regarding the speaker covers... I find them to be a problem. If I had speaker covers, they would only be used during storage (like our current RCF 8004 sub). I think covers are great, but having to pack our trailer/van with speakers that have covers becomes a management issue. Also, the cost of the covers can be somewhat expensive.

Glad it was helpful!

The faders should always be set to where the signal is good for the program being mixed. Any effects added to an input will be pre-fader, therefore, the fader location is irrelevant.

We mic'd everything so the band could get a decent recording. Though, there were some drums in the FOH pa (at a lower level).

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure if 3rd party plugins can be installed. You may want to try this Presonus support site: forums.presonus.com/index.php It's possible someone has posted a question covering your question; as well, you could try posting your question there. Hope this helps.

Hatur nuhun.

Thank you Mr. Beckwith! It is a pleasure to mix for your band!

So ture I run 10 ga 100' from wall to Power conditioner then use it as a distro for everything from it. I also first ck outlet for vac and line phase

We have a digital solution, but opted not to use it due to the space limitations. The video doesn't show it well, but there really is no room for much of a PA.

Good questions. All guitars and keys were direct (all amps had built-in DIs). This was to ensure more floor space for the band (no mic stands needed) and to reduce (or eliminate) feedback due to "open mics". The vocals were all using Sennheiser e835 and e935 with gain settings appropriate for small (tight) stage areas. Because I have worked with this band a lot, they actually did something for me... they brought in their own monitors! Beckwith and I talked about it due to the space issues. If I were to have brought my monitors, the whole stage area would have had to move out another 3ft. to accommodate the monitor speakers I use along with the monitor amp rack. From my side of the service, there is nothing I did any different for "beckwith" as I would have for another band I have never worked with. Though, I did record their gig at their request... Some bands I have done videos for (when mixing them on their gear). At the end of the event, I just give the SD card I used to record with. Thanks for your comment.

Agreed. Those Altos beckwith uses are decent speakers.

I use some Alto speakers as monitors.

Thank you!

This is one of my peeves as well.

Not bad!

We don't use iPads for events. Though, this event would have been a good candidate for it.

@@stageleftaudio I'm with you I absolutely HATE ipad mixing but unfortunately it's a necessary evil in some venues that only have a rack console and I'm just hired to mix not rent gear. For shows I bring gear I try to use a real console.

Glad it helped!

Пожалуйста!

Good luck!

Thanks again!

Good question. We do not use our consoles for streaming, however, you may want to try asking your question on this Presonus support website: forums.presonus.com/ You will need to create an account on there. There's a lot of smart people on there that could probably answer your question.

Thanks for the advice I tried there first it won’t allow me to post.

Interesting issue. A couple of things: 1.) Make sure your browser does not have an aggressive ad-blocker on it. 2.) If not already, you may need to setup an account with Presonus (connect.presonus.com/home). On the forums.presonus.com website in the upper left hand corner, there should be a button titled "Click Here to Verify You are Human". This will take you to the Presonus login page, where you can sign in (or sign up). Once you sign in, it should direct you back to the "forums.presonus.com" website.

Thank you!
