$125 and up?? For that pile of crap? Unbelievable. For that kind of
money you should be getting at least a pair of Mackie SRM450s & and a
cheap mixer which will still blow the doors off of a Crapport "rig".

It's probably one of those craiglist lure adds you hear about on the
news where you show up to rent the PA & get robbed/raped.

From the ad:
------------------------

I say usually because the price my change due to driving distance, duration
of show and several other variables.

I have run sound for several touring national acts and owned a recording
studio for 3 years.

Pa system can handle small to medium sized clubs with no problem at all and
has been used at the Tavern @ Medlock, Dos Coppas, & The Damn Bar and had
plenty of headroom left.

CS-800 Power
2 Mains with 2 15" Woofers & a large format mouth horn
12/4 mixer
2 Monitors
monitor amps
6 Mics with cables & stands

------------------------

I think about every working musician I know has about this much and this
level of gear gathering dust in their basement (because it's all been
replaced with better stuff).

<rotflmao!!!. Yep, that's about the size of it. Sounds
like a weekend muso who can't find a weekender band to play
with and lost his day job <g>.
I wouldn't hire this guy when I could rent equivalent or
better for same money, and not have to have the guy come
along with it <g>.



Richard webb,

replace anything before at with elspider

You never know ....
Damn ... I've provided sound for quite a few national & international
acts who brought their own soundman. Some of the soundman sounded like
they considered Mackie state of the art pro stuff. Some of them sounded
like they were the merch guy until last week.

So far, every sound man I've worked with who made a big deal out of who they
worked for has had wooden ears, and the more credentials they claimed they
worse the sound. They would know how to operate the gear, they just didn't
know how to listen.

The ones that are good just come in and let the mix speak for itself, no
muss no fuss.

Just my personal experience,
Sean

One guest-soundman I worked with actually was a merch guy, but the band
realized that he had nothing to do when the band was performing' and
that merch guy was bored when he wasn't working. So they promoted him to
double duty.

He let me know that could use my help. I helped him. I tweaked the house
curve for him & stood on stage & instructed him during soundcheck while
he drove monitors (from FOH). He made good use of his iPhone RTA, only
correcting for extreme frequencies.

He actually mixed a decent show for Grammy Award Winners "Carolina
Chocolate Drops" - http://www.carolinachocolatedrops.com/. They are an
awesome band. He did a great mix.

I remember hearing Phish when they began playing large venues. He
sucked, but he grew into the role because he had good ears. Some do &
some don't. This is something that cannot be taught, much like intuition.

I've worked with some very bright people who have a degree in Electrical
Engineering who don't have a clue when it comes to the artistic factor.
I've worked with some who have the intuition to see the big picture, but
don't have the technical knowledge. I'd rather work with the latter.
They are not so cock-sure they know what is "right."
