Hi folks, Happy New Year to all of you. I'm curious how everybody's New Years eve gigs went. What you were doing, where you were, what went right, what went wrong blah blah blah... I always like to hear about other gigs as there is always an interesting idea, a new approach, or at minimum an amusing incident in there somewhere. |

I must say though, that the PLX could push the snot out of those subs, the kick had never carried that much energy before. I'm not sure if the internal Crown amps are not up to the job or both are in need of a good warranty repair. Either way, they are going to the local repair facility once/if I can talk to the JBL Warranty folks. (The subs are American 120v models that are technically out of warranty since they are outside of the US even though they are still within the three year period.) |

The gig itself was a hoot for the band. We are finally enjoying playing together and I think the crowd picked up on that energy. I did have a problem after midnight (when the crowd had diminished a good deal causing a room acoustic change) when my Sabine feedback suppressor started acting up a bit. I had it on the mains between the mixer (Yammie 01v96) and the crossover (Behringer Ultradrive) but the signal level there is lower than it wants to see. Looks like once it filled up its dynamic filters, it wouldn't release them until a really bad ring pops up. So it happily let some low level ringing go on for a while until I could make a dive for the mixer (mixing from stage) and toss a notch filter in. Next time I'll probably use the Sabine as an insert as I typically only have problems with the lead singers mic (he needs lots of gain) or maybe a drum overhead. |

That resort in Germany looks beautiful! Great website. I like the pictures, mountains and music. Tube socks over the calves? Cool. I've never seen those before, but they look nice. |
