| Video Discription | Here is the first of a series of Sound Tip videos where I will share kinds of cool stuff I have learned throughout my career as a sound engineer, sound technician, system designer and pro audio rental company owner. The "Pro Audio Sound Tips #1" video provides several useful tips for achieving better sound quality at live events. These include creating a set of gated and non-gated drum channels, avoiding excessive adjustments without reason, and gradually increasing the reverb from house music to enhance contrast and connection with the audience. Other tips include using limiters and compression to avoid issues in highly reverberant venues, not relying too heavily on technology, and mixing from the ground level instead of a riser. Dave Rat shares a few tips for pro audio engineers. First, he recommends carrying a female-female male XLR Y adapter when using an analog console to connect your talkback mic to the lead vocal mic. He also suggests working up hand signals with your team to do line checks without picking up the talkback mic. Another tip is to setup the analyzer mic near you, adjusting, and then moving the mic down to the audience level to fine-tune. Lastly, he recommends using both gated and non-gated inputs with a VCA on each set for dynamic bands allowing for quick changes between a fast or slow song with low or high volume. The next tip advises against excessive fiddling or adjusting and encourages thinking before making any changes without reason. The sixth suggestion is to combat highly reverberant venues by gradually increasing the reverb from the house music before your show and turning it down as your band starts playing to enhance the contrast and establish a better connection with the audience. Finally, compression should be used to avoid wide differentials between peak and average volumes, which can cause sound issues in highly reverberant venues. Limiters and compression can be helpful in highly reverberant environments useful but should not be relied upon too heavily. The human ear is the ultimate judge of sound quality, and it's important not to lose sight of that. Additionally, mixing from a riser can actually make it harder to achieve a positive outcome for the audience, so it's recommended to mix from the ground level whenever possible. 00:00 Intro 00:40 - tip 1 Infallible Talkback mic 01:40 - tip 2 Hand signals to line check 03:15 - tip 3 Analyzer mic placement 04:30 - tip 4 Mixing both gated and non gated drums 05:57 - tip 5 Mix better, don't fiddle 07:19 - tip 6 Created the illusion of a better sounding room 09:12 - tip 7 Mixing in highly reverberant venues 10:20 - tip 8 Technology vs hearing 10:54 - tip 9 What is really loud 11:29 - tip 10 Mixing from a riser Also I have started a YouTube membership area where I release videos early and post exclusive additional content for the huge price of $4.99 a month. An area where I can better interact with sound humans outside of the general public.
