The SC-We Conquered the Hall! 

Hey, great video, as always, very informational ! What kind of stand is the front of house rack setup on, I would love to get something like that, it’s definitely better than setting up a 3 foot table.

Another great video. The great comments and encouraging words and the end of a night make the job feel so rewarding. Keep it up and I look forward to the next video.

The new in-ear unit is very well-executed and an obviously significant improvement for the band. Kudos on a really good improvement. Another informative and enjoyable video from The Sound Couple. As always, thanks for sharing your knowledge, experience, and insights with us. Looking forward to the next video.

Even though your videos aren’t instructional, I’m learning so much. Thank you!

Have been a follower of your channel for a while now and I must say you felt with the complaint about light perfectly congratulations and beleated happy new year to you both keep on rocking

Great video guys. Thank you, learning a lot from you guys. Enjoy.

hello the sound couple, I'm from Brazil I've worked with band sound a while ago. I really like your videos very explanatory very technological I also like the bands playing keep it up a hug

Great job! Like the set up!

Hah! And here I was thinking that it was going to be just another so-so Tuesday. It's great to see a new video from you.

Great video as always!

Amazing guys!

Watched content from other Audio engineers, and yours is still the best!

Great video.... SUPER

Eerily quiet on that stage! The power of IEM :) In such a lively room I can imagine that is a godsend. You don't need to fight the volume on stage with your main PA but can just dial it in exactly as the room demands it.

excelente trabajo los felicito son muy profesionales

Iem is the way to go. One tip for those getting into iem make sure you get good earbuds. I recommend 3 drivers and up. Especially for drummers you want more drivers.

These small town halls are nice. The stages are like old school.

good videos thank you. The rack looks good. I am sure they will be very happy with it. Something handy I discovered: if you do have to make looms with zip-ties, use them backwards so the sticky-out bit faces inwards. That way you don't shred your hands while wrapping it

Thanks for the videos guys! One thing that I disagree with you about is, when deciding on how much gear to bring in, I tend to error on the side of more than enough. ESPECIALLY when it comes to center fill. In a room this size and as lively as it is, I would prefer to have 2 subs on each side so they can just idle along but you still get the presence and attack at lower volumes. I have heard you talk about it in other videos. I also understand the extra work involved, and the fact that I have only seen an identical pa once before so I don’t know it like you guys do. The system I heard sounded great btw. Anyway that’s my 2 cents, and thanks again for the videos for us gear geeks!

The band I am in uses a complete in ear rig. It's awesome!

In ears was definitely a must in a room like that. If you had wedges and no ears, the reflected sound would be a nightmare for you and that band trying to listen. Like their custom build!!👍👍

I am using ground monitor to singer and in ear to the band cause i don't have shure psm yet. Great sound in this gig.

The Sound Couple made a successful musical series with its new In-Ear equipment that superseded the "poor" acoustics of the auditorium. The band, their instruments and the vocalists sounded very nice. I hope that a couple or group like you would be right up in the Northeast.

Great video. IEM are seem the way to go.

Great video! Love that style of older building & vintage stage, but like you said - the acoustics can be awful. I agree that the analog out from the monitor rig is the most reliable way to go.

Another great video. I wish I could get my own band on in ears and a quiet stage, but without a separate sound person out front it is not so easy.

in ears are the way to go. im a drummer and my band is self contained monitor wize. rack with qsc touchmix pro 30. 4 x shure psm 900's 3 x art 8 channel splitters. 24 direct outs to f.oh and option of sending stems. kick in ,kick out etc. also run a pair akg 414 in stereo to get some room sound. and I run a porter Davies bc2 thumper from an aux. same sound every gig . low volume. excellent !

Brutal room! Good job! (what about toe in of the mains?) There's countless mid-century gymnasium w/stage combos just like that... acoustic disasters. The IEM diminished stage sound is stunning... certainly makes a challenging room a little less challenging. I've not used them, however in THAT room, I would be inclined to experiment with significant toe-in of the Presonus cabs... in an effort to not light up the sidewalls with off axis energy. With controlled/constant directivity coverage pattern, they should perform quite well with toe-in. The benefits of C/D pattern, well toed in, ... yields a wider usable listening area whereby the sound won't collapse to the near speaker if you're way off axis. It's time/intensity trading, whereas the on-axis far source, balances with the off-axis near source. Both Geddes and Keele have published much about this. Liberty Instruments has a definitive PDF w/graphics detailing how the effect works. Thoughts on toe-in? Dig your content All the best

Brain things...aka Brain Fart! I have those often, so don't worry! :D I'm liking the Freedom sticks too. A friend of mine has a load of the MarQ Rezzo Tubes (I think that's what they're called) and they too are great.

Nice job on the IEM rack with the 24r. Interested to know how long the Freedom Sticks last on a full charge? Enjoying your videos!

Great video! I was wondering, when using full IEM’s do you mix in any ambient mics for the band to hear the room and the crowd?

The "OTHER TYPE OF COMMUNICATION" AT 12:10 is USB 3.0 (type-B), plugs 1-3 are USB 3.0 Type-A, and #4 is USB 3.0 Type C (it can also carry USB 3.1, but it's bottlenecked due to the main cable).

I was thinking of adding onto our Bose 812 / F1 system but after watching a bunch of your videos I’m leaning more and more to the presonus setup. I was looking hard at shooting big with RCF but I think for the money yours sounds like a better option.

In-ears are always the best move. I've described it as a Steak vs. Hamburger situation, sure, a great burger is always good, but even a shabby one is still fine, that's what Floor Monitors are, but, a killer Steak blows the PANTS off of a killer Hamburger, every time. That also being said, a crappy steak is almost inedible, whereas a crappy hamburger is still tolerable. That's In-ears vs Wedges in a nutshell.

Hi Couples hope you will show us a build of the in ear system........thanks

I like the comparison of sound on stage to out front. I play with a three piece that is resisting IEMs because they heard it was blah blah blah. As a musician with hearing loss, I really want to transition into a system like this. Any advice for convincing band members that this is the best way for low stage noise and a better experience for customer/guests?

Sukses selalu,,, salam dari INDO...

Pretty cool video however I disagree about the digital aspect. Definitely have an analog whip in the rack however if your both running in the same eco system digital is a better quality signal imo... A band I work with uses the Behringer X32 Producer (for there IEM) and I run an X32 Rack so it just duplicates onto my system...

Great video. how do you control your lights? what audio mixer are you using and how do you connect it with your i-pad? thank you.

Hello which surface pro are you using? I'm thinking to buy one and use as a pc for controller workbench and other software like that.

Your channel and videos are great! Where can I find the stand that you put your Rack on. The red, black and silver folding stand.

Your mixes are really clean. How many years experience?

Where did you guys got the stand for your rack case ?? Look nice 👍

great video. which mixer interface do you have on those screens ?

What software does Stace use on the ipads for the lighting?? DMX to midi? Midi to USB? Wireless???

Where you guys got the dully cart from ? Send me link would appreciate it !

i didn't hear it mentioned what in-ear system are you using? Is it the presonus pods or are you going into some sort of headphone amps? How are you handling band members and IME do they get their own and what are you recommending? I used to do sound for a live music coffee house more music less coffee kind of thing that met at an enclosed pavilion. It would have an open mic at the beginning where they would each get two songs and then a feature for the second-half. I had one feature come in with a Behringer XR16 with everything pre routed out so all the outputs were essentially passed through from something and no they weren't using IME they just had a pre set monitor mix and then handed me cables for the House of snake. It was a husband wife so two vocals and a couple guitars a base and I forget whether they're instruments. This was also at the point when I was bringing my own XR18 and bypassing through the insert jacks the house analog mixer. Sadly between the church that owned the pavilion and 2020 the person who was running it decided to shut it. It was always exciting each month to see what random instruments i would have one song to adjust.

Do you ever find your self having to use the furman 1500 ? Was thinking about picking it up for my live rack

I hate those gym type rooms where everything is reflective sound. When I have those venues, if possible, I set up more satellite delay speakers . My theory is, if you provide more direct sound to the audience then they will hear less reflective sound. You haven't eliminated the reflective sound but it won't be as prevalent. Just a thought..

What is your actual website to get more information on booking?

How does the Waves router work? :)

Those videos you recorded of the band on stage where you can’t hear crap but the drum should be shown to those who don’t understand why musicians need stage monitors.

Hello friends please can you recommend a sound engineering school for me?

I want to get job as your job.

Wow Ima stick to just being a DJ lol....

No trailer van is better gears won't get wet and it's secure from someone trying to steal something it happens

nice,.......... this is a good video ,........but no eating and drinking?.......u need time#stamps?.........

Tell that bassist to invest in a good stand for his instrument. Leaning it against other gear like that is only asking for trouble.

So what kind of SPL do you get with just one pair? And what's the largest area you have covered with the 4? I'm really torn between these and the QSC LA112 it's basically 3 for 1 price wise and I'm trying to justify it.
