Hi Andrew excellent demonstration on the presonus 16:4:2AI , I don't have the AI desk version , but the standard 16:4:2 , I bought the Neumann Kms 105 mic , I'm a male baritone singer , told by my vocal coach I was a Baritone Tenor , I also bought the Sennheiser E945 mic , big difference on the price range , the issues I'm having with this desk is when I use the Kms 105 even tough the overall volume of the pa is not loud , by the way my FOH is the RCF 935a's tops , on using the Kms I get this really high pitch sound wave , it's so piercing it's not that it's loud but even just last night I could see the bar tenders putting their hands up to their ears wondering what it is was effecting them ear drums ,the silent killer , using the E945 no issues here , I have searched the web for answers here to no avail, what is it that causes this how to get the best vocal sound from the Kms avoiding that piercing noise , I connected up my Zoom 4HN recorder to the main TRS out last night and set my recording level really low and still it was clipping and that piercing squeel was still heard , i just had to take down the expensive KMS 105 and revert back to E945 , im just lost now as to where im going wrong here ,I pray and hope you being the expert here can shed some light on this for me , I love my presonus desk and still getting usta the digital world , took me some time to change from the passive era , I really appreciate your views please and thank you
Sadly, I bought my Presonus 16.4.2 just before the AI models came out. Regardless, the group I am in has four lead vocalists, each of which typically sings harmony when not singing lead. While this is a definite blessing, we don't have the ability to reduce the Hi-eq for the three backups while one of the four is singing lead. Anytips on how to overcome this? (I ask because I often have a problem as a drummer to hear whomever is singing lead and also who's singing which harmony part).
That's a tricky one. One solution would be to patch all four singers to two channels each, and have each person's primary channel be their backup EQ. Then have a second channel for each of them with the EQ tuned for lead. When they switch, mute the first channel and turn on the secondary channel. Essentially, you would have two options for each singer and use the mute buttons to swap out the lead EQ for the backing EQ settings. You'd need a good sound tech to manage it, but it should work... if you have enough open channels.
@@AndrewBellous Thanks Andrew. I'm always looking for excuses to upgrade my equipment. Looks like I need a bigger board. (Might as well get an AI model with Bluetooth while I'm at it!).
Yes, you should be able to select the channel, adjust the EQ and not have any interruption. This should be possible from the board and also from the App.
im going to be nice...you are hearing 2 different mics in this video When you say..."listen to this"....we are hearing you going away from the camera mic, and hearing the p.a. cabs also.
