The Sound Couple - Fun With the Sun Recordings! 

There's audio for me, however its stuck to 360p😂

Ok!

So I think you just need to relaunch the app

@@georgew_xyz Same here the quality sucks and its a lot of what I'm watching now!!!

May be a codec issue -- audio is fine when I tried on PC/Chrome.

Thanks! We have a few videos that we are pretty proud of...this is one of them.

Well said!

Hi Dean, once again, you are too kind, but your insights are uncanny that you are able to connect and link so many concepts and considerations within the content of a video. When you mentioned the number of mixes, it made me think about the fact that we do this from one mixer. Back in the analog days, our utopia was to have two separate consoles for FOH and monitors. I know some that still do this in the digital world as well, or with enough channels, maintain a group of channels for FOH and another for monitors. In a perfect world, I prefer that flexibility, but for the speed and trying to keep things simple, I have mastered theshared preamp! I couldn't imagine trying to manage how we work with two consoles. Part of it is that I am doing the job of two people as most of my time is on stage with the musicians during soundcheck....something to think about for others that are trying to figure things out. We still maintain that a happy band on stage makes everything much easier! Figure out a workflow that supports that! I think our speed (minus technical issues) is a key for us...Also, the feedback we get back from musicians when we hand them a device and tell them that this is yours for the show has been tremendous....I don't think a lot of sound people are doing this or don't understand why they should....it takes all of the stress and effort away and empowers the musician!

😂🤣😂🤣. Thanks for the new visual!

@@thesoundcouple Cast away the evil sins of Feedback!

Thank you! It’s nice to know that people are interested in what we are doing and hopefully we are helping others!

You're welcome...we are glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks so much!

Thank you Juan! It's nice to know that we can be of help to people all over the world! Take care!

You will be seeing summer for some time yet....we are just backlogged on videos and we are working on them in chronological order!

Thanks! We are truly lucky to work with great people!

Thanks! Appreciate you watching!

For this band, we provide some of the IEM gear and a couple of the musicians provide their own.

Thanks David - we will continue to consider recordings...it just depends on the gig and what we are up to!

Thank you for sharing your perspective Kyle! I hope people read the comments as we love hearing what people have to say as it can be as educational as the videos!

Thanks George, and thanks for letting us know we are helping you out. We really enjoy sharing our videos, and yes, it's a lot of work, but worth it! Someday, perhaps we can seek help with it all, but we have a ways to go before we could be at that level!

This is a very neat gig!

Obrigada. Esperamos que nossos vídeos sejam capazes de ajudá-lo com o seu negócio!

The band provided a few vocal mics....I know one was a wireless Sennheiser and the drummer and guitar player provided their own, which I can't recall. We also provided our Shure ULXD4Q with Beta 58 capsules for the Bass player and one singer.

Happy to hear that! Our main wireless mics we carry directly in unit. (Video here…ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YB8pQFtXSn4.html) The rest of our mics we have been able to condense down to a small carrying case like this: www.amazon.com/safe-file-document-lock-box/dp/B00EJZ4OPE/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=30Z1WBFUSYEYF&keywords=vaultz+locking+storage+box&qid=1667690828&sprefix=vaultz+%2Caps%2C257&sr=8-3 In the future we do break out our mega microphone case!

Thanks! Link to similar: amazon.com/dp/B097Q8Z9XV/?coliid=I3HHGUYJB2D8YC&colid=2NLB7HPLXSQ32&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

We will record pre or post DSP depending on what we are trying to accomplish. Typically, if we are doing a quick recording, we use post. If we are hired to do a recording, we will do pre. We haven't had any issues with the casters that we have noticed.

Throughout our early videos, we were on a Wi-Fi journey. Starts with a good router, which we have. Next, it was about finding the right channel and settings that worked for us. We used scanning software (Wi-Fi Explorer Lite). Once we found that, it’s been pretty rock solid from gig to gig.

We appreciate your enthusiasm and glad that our videos are inspiring!

We use the CDL12’s. Check out our introduction to them here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iK-WH0wueoM.html

We use Worx control for DSP and run them at 100Hz crossover point.

I see you covered a bit of the 180/360 coverage at the end of the video, thanks! :)

We have EZ-Up sandbags and more recently, purchased some weights with straps for popups. We learned a few things so stay tuned as we happened to be back there at that same venue with another band the following week! The violinists that day was a sub and we were told that she was bringing her own mic, so we went with it. If you noticed during soundcheck, the singer wanted her up in her monitor so she could come up and solo, but didn't realize she was stuck back in her place with a mic. Their regular person has built in mic in to his instrument so he is more mobile on stage, and that's what we would have preferred for her as well. We will have another video coming up that he is a part of. Thanks for watching and your feedback!

grumble grumble....yes we did!

It depends, but generally, 3 hours. Sometimes more, sometimes less.

Our 328's are absolute work horses! Love these cabinets! It is an absolute shame they stopped making these cabinets...it truly is.

We were just there this past weekend....it was hot and the people far back again. We have a lot of theories about this place that we have discussed, but another factor we realized is they sit where the shade is!

​@@thesoundcouplehopefully next time the gig is at night and u get everyone right where u want them 👍

Appreciate you sharing. They came out with Compatibility Mode which really helped older computers. This was definitely a struggle for a lot of us!

Make sure you are subscribed and you have notifications turned on! It's difficult to set a schedule as there is a lot of variables that are in play with each one, but we try to release at least every couple weeks. Thank you for your interest, that's pretty cool! We can tell you that we are putting the finishing touches on the latest video and we will be publishing it in the next couple days!

@@thesoundcouple can’t wait

Have you hooked up them up to Worx control? You should check to see that you have the latest firmware and confirm there isn't anything out of ordinary with the DSP settings.

We enjoy working with her too!

We use Sennheiser 604's for toms, Shure Beta 52 on Kick, and Oktava condensers for HH and OVHD (primarily and on this gig).

@@thesoundcouple oh i see, Thank you here from philippines please shout out this name during your gig please “WJ SOUNDS AND LIGHTS from philippines”.

We understand some are having issues...trust us, there is audio so there is some sort of glitch with RU-vid and this video at this time. Please check back!

Sorry, not sure and it's packed in our van. We will look the next time we take it out!

I can't comment from experience on the "P's", but the specs look nearly identical. If your requirements are generally similar to ours, just make sure your needs are within 2 boxes per side. More than two, they need to be flown and again, imo, for these boxes, they would be more appropriate for an install as their are probably better choices for portable line array's. Please note as well that that we do supplement them with 328's for center or side fills...at our bigger shows, I would not want to push them harder, so we are at max.

@@thesoundcouple Thank you for your response Bart. I called Sweetwater to place my order for the CDL12'S (the originals not the "P" version) and was informed they are now discontinued!!!!! With that being said, do you think it's worth still buying into the CDL lineup with the remaining stock that may be left or just move on to something different?

@@spidafingaz1 Unfortunately, that looks to be the case. PreSonus, IMO, does a good job supporting their products regardless of their status, so I wouldn't have any concerns about buying them (I have seen them on E-Bay). I don't have direct experience with "P" series, but the specs look virtually identical. The big difference is that they are plastic and lack Dante.

Yes...that covered it!

We do! We are big fans of Otter Box Defender series. Phones and iPads, haven’t gone wrong yet!

We have our e-mail link in our "About" section. Please feel to reach out with any specific questions. Some have reached out for consultation services, which unfortunately is not something we offer, but happy to try to answer any specific questions you have!

The subs are the PreSonus CDL18's. Yes, I believe the cabinet is 1000 watts. Thanks for watching!

Thank you sir. it's like a Lot of juice coming out from that 4 subs

@@halidharis Have I heard bigger better? I think so, but for their size and portability, we are happy with how they perform!

Capture is. I believe Studio One Artist is free, with limited functionality.

On a lot of gigs, yes.

?

We appreciate you taking the time to watch! However, we don't get into specific financial information on our channel! Sorry!

It's okay no problem

Sure! You can reach us at: soundcouple@comcast.net

It's a Motion Labs unit. It's buried in the van right now, but we can let you know the next time we pull it out. Please e-mail so we remember if you are really interested! Thanks!

@@thesoundcouple Thanks for your reply.. What is your email address??

The investment can really vary....there is work you can do in the industry that doesn't require you to make the equipment investment as well.

@@thesoundcouple first equipment ?mini studio equipment experiment! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5gUUem040Q8.html

All of these tools are not standard in the live music industry ,😭

@@karaokeaskasik OK, I will bite...what has that have to do with is question? What's your point? What "standard" do you have that allows you to do your job better?? Don't bother answering if you don't have are unable to articulate and intelligent answer....I get super annoyed with people that think gear is the key to doing a good job, their just tools smeared in marketing BS that some people buy into or because they are just following what the rest of the sheep out there do "Dude, this is the greatest and your stuff sucks, so if you want to hang with the rest of us, you gotta use what everyone else uses, you aren't a real sound guy!" ..so tell us why we can't do our job just is well as others with the gear we have? I am listening.......I have used a lot of gear over the years, so it better be good.

all the tools that I use in the video are not standard audio sound systems, I use the Marsal MG 10 amplifier for my drum guitar, I use the home theater bass amplifier, Leney Vocal, DIY Sound (Java). If I want to go into the industry, what kind of amplifier should I buy first? passive/active for mini band needs?

The band is Coyote Wild. Unfortunately, the two ladies in this video have left, but their successors are great too....we will have some more full band videos in the future, but we just did a video with the partial band here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LfceVA1cKs8.html

Appreciate you sharing your insights and approaches. Finding the balance that works for you is always a challenge.

HD is still processing on RU-vid servers. Everything is really slow today for some reason!

I do think these issues are the downsides of bands not carrying their own sound person. As a "member of the band" they are in a better position to take actions that make the band better. In our engagements, we are more inclined to manage the circumstances presented to us....not sure if that's right or wrong, but I do think it helps push us to be better with our skills and tools to overcome less than perfect circumstances.

@@thesoundcouple I completely understand. As a drummer myself I tend to be bold and ask if they can tune the ring or flubb out. There's a lot of factors including the weather though so we all become experts with a gate and notch filter. You handle it all professionally. I once sold a PDP snare drum I never really cared for along with a Sonor kit that sounded phenomenal. The snare just had this weird overtone that different heads, tuning, or dampening didn't seem to improve. Karma came for me when the kid I sold it to started playing in a band I ran sound for regularly. I just wanted rid of it and ended up having to mix that terrible sounding POS on the regular. Adapt and overcome!

@@LNDIowa That's is karma! Thanks for sharing your experience!

The band is Coyote Wild

That is a very polite thing to do, but technically unnecessary as a cover band does not own the rights to the music they are covering. Anyway, this can get into a big debate which we will avoid on our channel. We are abiding by RU-vid policies and the band is happy with to have their talent shared...so we are covered as far as we're concerned! One of our primary goal is to share our knowledge to hopefully inspire others to go even further through showing them what we do!

Just out of curiosity... how would working in VSC with this bands tracks help you, unless you're mixing this same band all the time?

@@dustinthiessen I am really not sure...not familiar with VSC...sorry.

@@thesoundcouple ah, my comment was for the other guy.... VSC is just short for virtual sound check, where you take raw multi tracks, and play them back through the console, in place of having the band on stage.

@@dustinthiessen Got it....makes sense. I think that would be the most practical application - which used to be PreSonus's big pitch with functionality. Personally, the concept is neat, but not super practical imo.

Yes, so were we. This was a sub and their regular does have a pick-up mounted on the instrument.

I am drummer at heart...I guess I can't have enough snare drum! We felt the system was more than adequate and appropriate for this type of event. Event sponsors and bands have budgets that are under continuous pressure and we feel that we provide extremely good value for the money for our services and quality of gear we provide. I can't justify investing and providing more gear that the budgets can support ...and if others are, then I guess we are out of business.
