My All-In-One Live Sound Rack (And ideas to build yours) 

That looks so complicated. I have more questions than when I started O_o I might come back to this after more basic info

Appreciate you taking time out for this. Great job! I’m building a rack now with the Mackie dl32. Peace

pa 2 is the most underrated addition around, it rocks.

Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge.

I like your system. A band should take control of their monitoring system and yours will make that happen. If you need to run PA for smaller gigs with no FOH, it will double for that as well. Adequate power distribution is overlooked by many diy bands, so your approach is solid. Good clean power will keep all the other gear lasting a lot longer.

cool rig. I hate having excess wiring so we use an AES50 cord to send to FOH and make our unit the master and FOH the slave.

Thanks for the video

Great information!

Nice set up.. My long time all in one is: SAC(Software Audio Console) running on a 2U rack mounted Window 7 PC With RME Raydat card 4x 8200 Behringer mic pre’s 1u@ 2 Crown 2500’s for mains 2u@ 1 Carvin 4ch amp 2u 650va UPS 1u7 CD,DVD,MP3, USB, AUX player 1u 1u top space is power strip with front rack lights, front USB power, receptacle, with 8 rear receptacles. I can roll it in, have front of house in 20 minuets, from drop of the trailer door, not by choice but it’s happened. So that’s 32 in 32 out can record each channel. I have quit a few live mixes on my channel, all mixed on it.

nice

Been trying to do something like this but if I did I'm gonna need to setup all my stuff too like the game console I have and computer and dvd player just so the audio rack isn't alone and feels out of place

I just about to upgrade from a analogue desk to a digital desk as prefer mixing on a physical desk im not a fan of a rack mounted mixers I'm running crown amps and xta speaker management for my foh speakers and monitors,keep up the great content

For split if your using it sometimes I would put it in a separate rack and the rack looks good

I hope you keep at your channel! with less than 500 subscribers you have a great wealth of content that i wish more live AV channels did! Do you have any goto production channels you enjoy? Keep at it! Great stuff without heavily edited down videos. Keep it up!

Dumb question here, but based on how you're splitting, how does gain staging work between your rack mixer and front of house? What about phantom power? Another way to ask, how do you keep your mixer and FOH from sword fighting?

When you use your wireless to solo a mix, how are you doing that on the PreSonus? This is one area I'm not sure about, as I have multiple mixes, and it's hard to keep tabs on how it's all sounding because I'm also playing in the band.

What the size of that rack case?

this dude has the typical haircut of every feminist girl ever
