Hi,

I am going to work (tryout) tomorow night at a venue that uses a Yamaha LS9, and was wondering what the difficulty factor is on running this, as well as if there is software i can use to play around with tonight to get familiarized...

Doing sound for 4 bands, our first gig...Here's what I have (or have coming) for gear: (All Yorkville, being a Canuck)

AP812 Powered Mixer A, B Amps 450 watts into 4 ohms

Pr. YX15's 300 Watts pgm Plan to use these as FOH
Pr. E12's or PL10's for stage monitors (the E12's are probably the best spkr I have)
4 stands
LS200 powered sub

I am getting older and find myself leaving the bar/club scene, and leaving the full band behind. I have been doing more and more acoustic sets as of late and the old PA system has about had it!

I am looking to upgrade everything starting with speakers first.
I think powered is the way to go just for simplicity reasons, and have been leaning towards the Mackies or JBLs

a few of my buddies are beggining to purchase equipment to start a venue. all of the people involved are very musicaly inclined but we dont have a lot of experience yet (some, but not alot) and i have some questions that need to be answered.

Hello,

I'm planning to record a live show as multitracks.
I have to set my pair of RODE NT5 to get the room/crowd sound.

How would you set up those mics?

high? pointing the stage? Pointing the audience?
ORTF? X-Y ?

Well, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
