The Quays recently purchased a Yamaha LS9 digital mixer to replace the aging Allen & Heath analogue mixer. Most of the sound engineers that work there have had a little experience with board, from visiting engineers at other venues bringing one in.
\nWhile the switch to digital is a huge learning curve, I’m finding there’s a huge amount of resources available in terms of training and advice online.
\nI’m at the point now where I have a base setup for all the bands coming through. It’s pretty simple really. First 8 channels are drums, Then Bass, 2 electrics, acoustic, 4 keys lines and the vocals. I’ve set up 4 mute groups on the User Assigned Keys, along with record and playback keys. Finally I’ve wired the Tap Tempo in correctly. (more on this as a tip again!)<\/p>\n
The next step for me is creating a networked connection to the desk. Initially it will be wired, but ultimately I’d like a wireless connection. I suspect once the wired version works, the wireless version will be painless. <\/p>\n
Onwards and upwards we go, it’s nice to have a little challenge in work for a change. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,60,98],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1595","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-digital-mixing","category-ls9","category-sound"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1595","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1595"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1595\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1595"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1595"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1595"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
