Aye thats the point instead of them sounding shit and destroying the rig they just sound gash.

Oh I agree, good idea but realisticly I wouldn’t expect someone to hire the soundsystem again if I made their dj’s use a mixer with no eq.

I dont hire my rig anymore Bio
I got fed up of trying to get more than £5 an hour for it :you_crazy:you_crazy:you_crazy – i wont even pack it for that kind of money [esp as it usually comes with live band work which is a total pain in the nuts WRT sound checks and getting the musicians to do one]

Down here they all think they can do the sound engineers job better themselves and dont see why they should pay to hire a half decent rig when they can link up their guitar amps and that does the same job dunnit? :you_crazy:you_crazy:you_crazy

the bandridge is kept for when my rig is out and playing dance music and the dj cant be trusted to not fiddle excessively with the eqs – if they were paying to hire my rig it might be a little different 😉

Didn’t you know that if you play an instrument or mix records then you are automatically a fully qualified and experienced sound engineer?

:laugh_at::laugh_at::laugh_at::laugh_at::laugh_at: they certainly think so…until it goes wrong and then they expect me to fix it :laugh_at::laugh_at:without actually doing any of the stuff i consider essential of course like sound checks, stereo image adjustment, etc etc etc

used to do my head in – nowadays i keep my rig for dance music :bounce_fl:bounce_fl:bounce_fl:bounce_fl

goes to show how much attention i was paying to it :laugh_at::laugh_at::laugh_at::laugh_at::laugh_at:

its mostly wasted on me anyway – dont use the eqs, rarely use the effects, etc etc but i do like the xlr outputs
/me slavers over balanced line outputs :laugh_at::laugh_at::laugh_at::laugh_at:

Ahh, that explains it. I thought it was heavy rave dust through years of field/barn partying.

14 years is a ripe old age. Good ole technics!
