I mean Soundcraft.

The shipper will undoubtedly say something like: "If a unit is to be shipped via a common carrier, it must be capable of surviving the typical handling thereof (such as being dropped off the back of a truck).  This means that the packing must be robust and absorbtive of shock, and the unit must be capable of handling severe shock without anything breaking.  If it can't handle it, pay a piano mover to transport it."

So, did the new one show up? Was it in good shape?

How did the gig go?

[Brad Gibson]

 I did receive my new GB8.  It was in working order.  The box was a bit beat up but no issues inside when opened up.

The mixer was set up on monitor duty that night for The Whalers.  8 mixes and 28 channels.  I found it real easy to operate.  The group/aux swap function on the board is a great feature.  The knobs are a bit close together but this is my only complaint.  At the club I was working in, monitor land is not at side stage so I could not hear the stage, but I had no complaints from the 11 band members.  

I scored a road case from the club owner at no cost.  It was from an old Soundcraft Venue that they have had for some time.  I was ready to make some custom changes to the case, but when I got it back to the shop very little needed to be changed to make the GB8 fit perfectly.  

The GB8 will be on FOH duty this weekend for a festival on Saturday and for Web Wilder on Sunday.  I will do a short follow up after those shows.  

Thanks
