The SC-Blame it on the Potatoes! 

Great idea to cross train on all systems. We’ve implemented this recently too. It’s no longer valid to say “oh I just do lights or I just do sound” we really need to be all rounders. This is especially important when you tour. If audio for example gets their set up finished but lighting are having issues, pitch in and help. We are a team after all. Keep up the good work SC 🖖

Jeez. The more I watch, the more I’m glad I got out of the Presonus ecosystem before the series III. I never had these kinds of issues with the ai series and rack mounts. And them not repairing at the factory anymore is way worse. I won’t deal with full compass. They are always the highest cost over anyone else on all their products. I really have to hand it to you, Bart. That’s some loyalty.

Thanks for sharing. Cross training is necessary for the future, and it does take more time than you think. Hang in there!

Thanks for another great video. A great companion tool for Wireless Workbench is the RF Explorer. It allows you to scan the RF spectrum in real time and can create a scan input file for Wireless Workbench to use. You can also scan / monitor independently, mid gig. It is amazing how much the RF Spectrum can change once the gig gets going. Security using radios etc. it’s great to be able to see. I believe it

Thanks for the heads up on Wireless Workbench it will come in handy on my next gig.

Even with several unfortunate issues arising at this gig, as expected, The Sound Couple pushed their way through those issues. And, fortunately for us, we get to watch and learn from the way a professional production company responds to problems. The use of the Shure “Wireless Workbench” software shows signs of becoming an anchor point for future gigs, where wireless issues between different sets of wireless mics and wireless in-ears have presented conflicts in the past. The idea of cross-training, so that each team member can learn in a logical and step-by-step basis the set-up of equipment for which each one is not normally responsible represents a very important lesson for all of us who work with specific responsibilities at gigs. As always, I must tip my hat to Bart and Stacy for giving us another video rich with learning opportunities. I’m also glad they were able to get the van serviced. And, even with a hefty price tag, this vehicle has lasted a great many years and provided transportation to untold numbers of venues. Perhaps someday, we can hear some stories from the van itself. I imagine the van has many tales it could tell.

EWI??? Love Mark and Liz. Awesome folks.

That transition at 16:37 had me thinking I was dropping my phone, haha.

With the Blizzard Light bars, if you have a blank wall behind the stage, it would make a really cool effect if you place them on the floor, giving a really nice wash up the wall.

With the ipads, sometimes try closing the app, turn wifi off-on, and try the app again.

The iPad connection issue - one thing I did that came in and absolutely saved me one time was carry a 100’ Ethernet and an Ethernet to lightning adapter. Wifi went down on a gig, I hopped on stage and threw the Ethernet into the crowd and just kept mixing.

Great episode! iPad and wireless issues sound frustrating.

What brand of cart, the yellow wheeled one, do you have? It looks rugged and I need something like yours. Great video, thanks!

Suggestion if you are not already doing this... If you are using a sub on each side of the stage, do NOT send the exact same sound to both. For example, if the bass player is on stage right, pan the bass a bit stage left and the kick a bit stage right. That way each sub produces a slightly different output and there is less cancellation and combing effect out front. Just a thought..

Nice show. What is the model or brand name of the Speaker Pole you guys are using?

Once again, great video. Did you guys ever recover the lost video data?

It surprises me to an extent that you are willing to spend a good amount of money for quality gear, but sort of cheap out on your WiFi. With the help of an IT guy, I put together a Ubiquity system consisting of a control unit, a POE box (and a switcher box since i needed one for my Behringer/Midas rig), and a UAP-AC-M-PRO wide area outdoor access point. We've run shows with over 8000 in attendance, with FOH around 125' away, using an iPad with no dropout issues. The thing will broadcast up to 600', and people use these to throw wifi to sheds, workshops, etc that are elsewhere on their property. Some say, "Well, the iPad has to be able to broadcast back", and while I understand that, I have mine set to try 5g first up to 100', which works pretty much all the time), and it flips seamlessly to 2.4 if 5 starts slipping. It's somewhat large, but I have it mounted to a small lighting bar (which gets it up off the ground, helping line of sight), and place it on a tripod stand at sidestage within cat5 cable distance from the rack. You could, however, clamp it to just about anything. The best thing i can say, is that everywhere we go with this thing, its the strongest wifi source in the area.

Is the new Netgear router the 5G M6 MR6150? I have been considering getting it, however I currently have the nighthawk M1 4G router.

Mystery kit; I know everything I have, but I'm not entirely sure where some things have come from. I run Trantec wireless microphones, and have handheld mics as well as belt packs... I seem to have far more receivers than mics and mic packs, yet I've not got a clue how...

I wish UC surface has an offline option so that we can create and save scenes without the mixer.

What the brand of your light stand. It goes pretty high and I noticed Stacey lifts it up by herself.

Don't you have Room correction software to correct the acoustics of a function room.

FYI, I cant see the "About" section of your channel for the detailed hardware list.

Hi SC,how do you deal with cymbals bleed in this indoor venue???i know cymbals can destroys our mix in this small indoor venue

So if the presonus stuff continues to fail, will you eventually change your FOH setup ?

I think you may continue to have wireless issue running that much wireless gear without wireless distribution.

These places should get support from a good architect. Left Boxes are against the wall and not a good situation for sound. Good job though. Greetings from Turkiye..

this is filmed on the new DJI osmo??

The truck lights ?? can you plz share the link for the bright Truck lights you have installed ?? please

More cables, less paswords

I got my 24r two months ago. first few gigs worked fine.. now i have to send it for repairs due to cold start issue.. what does that mean? idk.. but stopping my investment until i get this one figured out.

at around 25:00 in, while you're wiring up the drum kit... instead of labelling your drum loom with numbers, why not label them with what they should plug into? 1-kick in, 2- kick out, 3- snare top, 4- snare bottom, 5- hats, 6- tom 1, 7- tom 2, 8- tom 3 ,9 OH SR ,10 - OH SL etc... would save a lot of confusion here lol
