I'd grab a USB audio interface with 8 mic-inputs (like a Presonus AudioBox or a Focusrite Scarlet) and a laptop and go do the gig with the included software mixer.**** These days, the first generation interfaces like those are nearly give-aways. Whether this will work for you depends a lot on the kind of gigs you do, and also what your generation is. Ron has been around for a long time, and while I know he keeps up with digital things, I know that his work at least used to be primarily with acoustic acts. That's what I do and I find it next to impossible to work with one of today's digital consoles, and would never consider mixing a live show with a mouse. A modern digital console works really well for bands that are reasonably well rehearsed, can keep fairly constant levels on stage, and are playing the kind of music that doesn't change too much during a song. You can have a preset for every song in your set list to accommodate different singers, instrument changes, and effects, but with the acts that I work with, if I'm not constantly making small changes, things fall apart pretty quickly. Someone who grew up playing computer games might have the ability to handle that pretty well, but that's not me. Somehow, I think that Ron is a hands-on kind of guy. -- For a good time, call http://mikeriversaudio.wordpress.com |
