The Sound Couple - Corporate Bliss! 

LOL the reversing directions in the background were HILARIOUS!

I love the fact that you are always checking the power! Last summer we did a sound gig at a very exclusive private club and their 'turtle' was wired wrong! The neutral was HOT!! It fried one monitor and two power strips. Fortunately that was all that happened and no one was electrocuted - especially since it was an outdoor event! Hatz off to testing power and never assuming!

👏 a quick in and out. Those are the best

As always, a giant “Thank You!” to Bart and Stacy for allowing us to watch professionals in action. Even a gig like this one that seems, on the surface, to be quite straightforward, has a number of significant learning opportunities: 1. Experience-years of experience -allows The Sound Couple to quickly assess the situation and make proper decisions as to exactly how much gear it will take to give the musicians the proper production support. This is evident in the choices Bart and Stacy made in selecting which speakers to use and how many to employ, along with the decisions of how much lighting is needed to enhance the band, give color to the performance, and yet recognize that this was a daylight gig. 2. The ability to diagnose, troubleshoot, and solve a problem, in the midst of the corporate audience gathering and participating in other parts of their program. While we’ve seen Bart use the wireless headphones in some previous videos, this particular video really emphasized how important it is to have the ability to “silently” troubleshoot and solve a problem. This becomes very important when other so-called “normal” troubleshooting procedures might have become a distraction to the employees of this corporate gathering, interrupting the other important parts of the event. 3. This video, once again, displays The Sound Couple’s finesse in handling relationships. The interaction between both Stacy and Bart with the representative of the client illustrates the value of maintaining a collegial attitude. Then, the fact that The Sound Couple has worked with the musicians in Rhino-the-Band so many times over the recent years creates a sense of oneness in their joint delivery of a performance that helps the client determine that choosing this band and this production company was the right decision to make. It will likely result in repeat business in the future for both the band and The Sound Couple. 4. The luxury of time to setup the stage boxes to allow the signal from the Worx software to piggyback on the AVB signal from the 32R, giving Burt the ability to look at each speaker and tweak each one was a nice touch in this video. Again, thanks to Bart and Stacy for allowing us to observe and learn from their willingness to let us see behind-the-scenes in greater detail than other production companies whose videos are posted on RU-vid. That is certainly a hallmark and a significant advantage to this RU-vid channel. Even when Bart and Stacy may feel that we’ve seen it all before, there is always something to learn from observing them during the setup and takedown, as well as watching how Bart mixes the musicians and Stacy controls the lighting.

"Radio Shack" sound level meter! LOL! Remember their 'Realistic' brand? Miss that store!

Another Awesome vid! I really hope Rhino realizes how much you all have done for them. This is promoting their band in ways most bands will never have and if they do they pay alot for it! Keep it up!

love the way you do your set up, voltage drop tests ect,., I really enjoy all your videos,. thank you.

Great video thank you

Man have I missed your videos... Definitely an unusual time for a gig, corporate or otherwise. But it was nice to see how things moved so smoothly! Love the videos! Keep up the great work! 🙌

Woot woot another video thanks for sharing your experience with us.

You two are doing great 👍 for the event. Thanks for sharing.

Another great video, thank you.

I like the way you organized. Thanks for sharing. I use Dewalt 63 gal tool box. I attached custom dolly with 3in casters to the box. I divided into 60:40 sections. One section for fragile XLR cables. Other section for heavy power cables. Box is very light and rugged, but heavy once loaded. I have a harbor freight aluminum ramp to load unload from the van. works well for a one-man team like me. Bonus benefit - At gigs, I put a cover on the box and use as a table for my x32 console.

6:16 LOL! PERFECT clip for this!

Great video, you and your wife work well together. It’s good to let people see what goes into a sound job, they really don’t have any idea of what goes into a hard days work. Thanks again.

Congratulations ... ! another event closed successfully! I already missed you....

11:28 That's a good idea, the lights are mounted on the traverse and will be transported in a keyboard bag. Saves time.

Wow chingon saludos desde mexico!!

Love the video as always! I was wondering how you are doing with tablet mixing, im on the verge of upgrading from the Behringer xr18, I am between of getting the Behringer x32 compact, with a stage rack, or the Midas 32C with a stage rack, one is costly(digital board) and one is half(tablet mixing only) would love to hear your response, since you guys have years of experience of tablet mixing!

OH, WOW! The Radio Shack SPL meter. Criminy! I haven't seen one of those in a while. For the record, I still prefer an analog meter, in general terms. Thanks for your efforts.

Amazing gig and the work you doing...just want to let you guys know I'm in the Caribbean and follow what you doing...I've learn quite a bit from your walkthrough... just have a few asks Do you have your own in ears monitors and can you do a session on what you got and how you set then up.? Bart- can you talk about using a 3 prong vs 4 prong power plug (30 amp) to 120 volts and the difference with or with grounding Thanks and continue your great work

Always inspired by u guys Stacy and Bart how I wish u could also share with how u mix ur instruments. U're the best Bart I just love it to see on ur ipad as u're doing it.

Stacy being wise..... 'its every man for himself".......Response.... 'I'm not a man'.... 👏👏😂

I ran sound for a church gig in the park, had to stay "quiet enough for the neighbors". I asked for concrete dB levels from the city (Brainerd), and would not/could not give them! With the meter app, at least I had visual proof of levels. No neighbor complaints, and event attendees were satisfied, so it all washed out in the end!

first off, much love to anyone putting anything on youtube trying to help the masses. OK. I do many of these types of events with similar sized PA's. When it comes out of the van it immediately goes on a cart (if heavy, NO DEADLIFTING SPEAKERS off the ground) or it goes to where it'll be living for the day. 2nd: pull the mini PA that was setup near stage, you're going to be fighting it all afternoon and honestly talk to the client and not use it at all. 3rd: lighting, setup it up on the dance floor, too many cables being run downstage and you''ll spend half your time navigating tripod legs. Anyway, odd gig when there's music and people eating but thats what the client wanted. Nice vid

ola estava esperando por um novo video de voces

No end of video extra scenes! Another great gig ... it was hard to tell, but do you ever worry you've got the volume of the band a bit too high for a particular gig? I'm thinking that if everyone was in the same tent for a wedding or something, then there's a particular dB you'd want but that in an event like this one, whether you go a little lower worrying that too loud will push people away from the music tent? And, since I'm trying to learn from your example, what was wrong with the drum overheads? Just so that I can add it to my troubleshooting arsenal :) Thanks again, and it's wonderful that you reply to all of the comments on your videos, much appreciated.

Nice video. Did you do any adjustments to your EQ or anything about the tent acoustics that you mentioned in the beginning?

Hey - Noticed it was pretty much daytime for the whole show. Were the lights just part of the rider? Fun video. Especially how *someone* miswired the splitter giving you an opportunity to fix. You are very cool under pressure!

Hey guys, just wondering if you could tell me what headphones Bart is using for line checking. I think a wireless setup would be great for that kind of application!

Hi Bart, we missed you. A warm greeting. Polar temperatures here.

are those anti-drink covers for the subs custom or something available online?

What is the slanting board for on top of the subs? TIA.

Hi Guys! did you bring speakers monitor for the band or they have it? or no need for this event? thank you.

Hi Bart, your videos have peaked my interest with the PreSonus CDL12 or CDL 12P. The closest boxes I have to this are the Yorkville Paraline series psa2s. The price of these CDL 12s is very attractive and they seem easy to manage. My only question is with the overall volume, unlike the US and Canada, I am from Trinidad in the Caribbean and we like "loud" sound. I am 62 years old so not a young crazy person but I do understand our market. So how loud are these units compared to I guess a Single 15" & horn monitor. I also used RCF, Yorkville, Bose and EV speakers. Enjoying your videos and intrestingly enough the band's repertoire is quite a good mixture of music!

Hey just curious what are the angled covers your putting on top of your subs? I have never seen anything like that.

Out in 20 mins..........I wish I could get some of that.

Do you still use those gator air lift poles so is easier to go up and it can be over peoples head so that the tweeter is above do it can cover more

There's one thing I hate about having dual systems, other than unneeded extra complexity and redundancy. That's if anything goes wrong with the other system you're the sound person with a big target on your back and an arrow above your head so you're responsible for it... why is their feedback no it's not my fault but you're all looking at me anyway I have no control over it. Which is why I usually don't mind taking over other systems as long as they're reasonably decent. Or just running everything on my system as I'm most likely gonna be there for most of the time anyway. Did this one thing it was I think a 25 x 75' pavilion that was enclosed. We had a bunch of guest musicians going through that day and there was one teenage rock band… Guitars + amps I literally turned off the House system and unplugged it and cable managed while they played and I believe I had people complaining about how loud it was and I'm like here's the plug not me. Edit: More recently I did a talent show at my local movie theater, old movie theater. The last group was going to bring in a drum set over intermission and their own system for the last 2 acts. They also had one act sort of in the middle of the second session. No they were not ready they did not do a previous Soundcheck so when they first went up they had no sound and then feedback. But yeah you can drop one of those knock off Bose tower speakers on the stage corner and cover a 75 Seat theater. I had open channels all they needed to do was give me a feed. They also had a monitor which didn't get mixed properly as I wasn't receiving any signal from my privateered connection, I was also recording video which kinda needs audio with it..... I can't wait to edit it and find out how it turned out.

Hey Bart, if you had to replace your system and being that the CDL's have been replaced with the CDLP's. Would you still go with the CDLP's or would you go a different route?

93 dB is also standard level when I do sound.

Hey quick question. What's the Isosceles triangle over the sub for?

Hey did your Subs come with casters? If not do you recommend a certain kind?

What Fxs did you use on the presonus controller for the vocalists ?

Maybe a reason to use also column speakers?

What’s the name of the spl app? Also what phone are you using?

hello, how do you use cables for electricity.thank you

10:30 I thought, it would be risky to install the stand this way?

9:15 What is the wedge on top of the sub?

What DB App is that?? I need one.

6:25 I hate it when people that have nothing to do come over and start talking when they see you are busy and hard at work.
