Hi all,

I often find myself doing both FOH and monitor mixing for an event. When doing the sound check for the musicians on stage, the monitors sound fine and everyone is happy.

Does anyone have any experience with Crest desks?
Were they known mainly for FOH work, or did they make Recording desks, too?

Front of House Engineer Jimbo Neal takes us behind the scenes with the Brian Setzer Orchestra, showing how he uses Royer and Mojave Audio microphones to get Brian's live sounds.

I've decided to start upgrading my touring rack a little bit and one of the things I'd like to add is a decent vocal preamp. I know people say you don't really need it, but it's an option I'd like to have.

What I would really like is it to be flexible. This means a decent EQ section, a decent compressor, bonus points for de-esser and of course road-worthyness.

Hello!

I've been in and out of the forums the past two/three years trying to figure some stuff out. So far, we are back to square one.

First, let me give you all the setting. We are a church of about 350 and have pretty rocking music and dynamic services. It is our goal to get setup for TV, web streaming, CD production, etc.

HI

A good friend of mine and a 30 year veteran of the recording industry needs help. He has coronary artery disease and no insurance. His name is Howie Lindeman and is FOH engineer for many top artists.

Details on his situation can be found at http://www.dunright…

Anything you can do will be a great help.

bit new to live mixing so any help here would be appreciated...i have a 2 channel 31 band EQ and all of my front of house is in mono. Can I use channel A on my EQ for my front of house and use channel B for my foldback (monitors)? Will it work? Is it stupid? Is there any reason why I have to use both channels for front of house?

Hi all,

Most of my FOH work is at or near charity level. Some jobs are no charge, others I charge very little. Once or twice a year I might make a few hundred on an FOH job. I have no mains or monitors - don't have the space to store them, haul them, and since I basically don't get paid for this stuff I can't justify the cost. If I need them, the client rents them.

I've been asked to record a rap performers performance live at a club venue. I have a MOTU 828MKII as my audio Interface and I will be using Saw Studio as my DAW. All I need to record is vocals and instrumental track. What do you suggests?
