Right. If you're serious about doing live sound, you'll find someplace else
to go where the topic is effectively discussed. For me, that is PSW.

I don't like bull**** and prefer straight talking. If your hide isn't

Oh dear. poor Mr Hankey is still bitter over the time I made him look
foolish and is continuing to hold his childish little grudge. Any little
chance to have a dig he takes it, irrespective of any actual facts. I do
hope you grow up one day Hank.

If someone
disagrees with you, that disagreement is seen as a personal
assault/affront,
not unlike being attacked by a mad dog -- and you respond accordingly.

Then you must have great difficulty living with yourself.

Or maybe it should be "There is none so deaf...."

However, there are people here arguing with him from an identical
stance, though they adhere to the goodness of different music than he
does.

I doubt the concept he hasn't a "soul" just because he doesn't like this

And in reality, really loud and monotonous music is something that
doesn't interest me, either. Neither does Don Giovanni. So be it.

No Arnold, you have NEVER been a professional sound engineer. You lack even
the most basic skills and simply want people to believe you actually know
something about live sound when all you really do is make stuff up and hope
it is right. Why don't you go back to trying to tell everybody that 95% of
all mixing desks do not havee PFL? Maybe the people at PSW don;t laugh at
you so much when you claim you can set the channel gain better by using your
ears than by using the meters? Do they share your opinion that FOH is
backstage?

Yeah, the place you originally got banned from after just a few posts. You
certainly couldn't post there the way you do here or you would be banned
again. Of course we all remember you telling everybody I was banned too,
instantly proven as a lie by the fact I posted there that same day, or your
claims that George and myself controlled PSW and had you banned (despite
your claim in the same thread you were never banned) and yet somehow,
despite controlling the board, we were both banned from there.

Really Arny, if you are going to lie so much you do need to keep a track of
your lies so as not to make a complete tit of yourself as usual.

ps for anyone who hasn't seen this, read on. A classic blast from the past:

"Arny Krueger" wrote in message

You seem to have forgotten the most important considearation - what
do his mixes sound like to you?

Try reading his post again Arny. He covered that part already:

quote I mean, the quality of the mix is okay, but its not great.end
quote

Oh, it was such a weak statement that it shot right under my feet.

It sounds to me like he's obsessing over something that someone else might
be doing well enough. It also seems like he doesn't know how to do the
thing
that he's judging. If he thinks that he could do a better FOH mix himself
by
other means, then he should know it and say it.

People are saying strange dogmatic things about FOH mixes. For example:

"Not a good way to Mix - I always Tell people that the headphones are for
troubleshooting only. Mixing through headphones as you realise means that
you are not mixing what people are hearing."

Obviously, this writer is not considering the possibility that the FOH mix
is being listened to over IEMs. There's a pretty good chance in a 21st
century church that the music director IS onstage performing, directing
and
listening to the FOH mix over a headset. So, now its always bad to mix
with
phones when the mix is going to be listened to, particularly by the boss
man, with phones?

The next possibility that is not being considered is the possibility that
the FOH mix is being done by someone who isn't in the same sound field as
the performers. In fact, this is pretty likely unless the FOH mixer is one
of the performers.

Let's be real, the FOH sound is not usually all that consistent over the
whole stage. It's not like there's just one mix that is going to make
everybody happy. If there's just one FOH mix, it's a pretty thoroughly
compromised thing, anyhow. For example, how is it that I have two stage
mixes? Well the piano is at stage right about 5' from the performers on
the
right of the stage.The performers at stage right feel they are getting
blasted by piano if there is piano in their mix, so they get a mix w/o
piano. Then, the clav is at stage left about 5' from the performers over
there, and so on.

If there's a dedicated FOH mixer, then he's not likely to be at the BOH,
but
why are people saying such categorical things when in general, there's a
pretty good chance that the FOH mixer is a one guy doing it all, and in
the
BOH (more usual) or mid-hall (on a good day).

I'm a bit amused by such a simplistic situation that there is just one FOH
mix. I have to manage 4 FOH mixes - left stage, right stage, choir loft
and
pianist. The only one that is in any sense optional is the choir loft.
Now,
exactly how I do a reasonble job of monitoring 4 separate FOH mixes from
the
BOH without headphones?

Another thing to consider is the fact that the FOH mix should be a
relatively static thing. It's purpose is to give the performers feedback,
and if someone is changing gain all the time, the performer's don't have
consistent feedback.

Finally, why are people presuming that nobody can translate what they hear
over phones into a good FOH mix? I guess they think that since they can't
do
it, nobody can.

arnii has yet to post about a paid gig as far as we can tell he has never
earned a nickle doing live sound and the opinions he puts forth indicate him
to know zilch about live sound
as far as we can tell he voulenteers to ride the faders in some tiny church
in the upper penesulia of michagan for a congregation of about 100 folks,

There are two ways to be a professional. You can be professional in the way
you work and with the skills you posess or you can make your living from it.
Arny is neither.

It would help if he had any live sound knowledge or skills to keep up. Sadly
he thought he could skip the step where you learned them. He's told us
himself through what he's posted that he knows nothing about live sound. He
thinks you ring out monitors using a CD, that he can set channel gains
better using his ears than by using the meters, that you have to be able to
read musical scores to be a sound engineer, that 95% of mixing desks do not
have PFL, that FOH is backstage and a whole host of utterly hilarious gaffes
that he still refuses to admit he is wrong about because his PPD makes him
mentally incapable of ever admitting he is wrong about anything. Even when
he was pulled up on his FOH gaffe (which he made after several years of
posting on a live sound newsgroup where the term in is daily use) he didn't
admit he was wrong, just stated "I've looked it up online and some of the
definitions seem to agree that it is in front of the stage".

anything and you generally wind people up so much they have to do something
to try and get rid of you. It is the same in almost every unmoderated
newsgroup you have ever posted in. The only reason you behave differently at
PSW is they booted you off on your first day when you tried to post there
before and if you posted here the way you do there then you would be booted

So you're into nihilism or atheism?
Actually neither although I do lean towards atheism.

I would have said it differently, organized religion is an
argument against having a religious experience.

I am all for people believing what they want to. I am very much against
people being threatened into believing something which is what most of the
organised religions are based on .

"lean towards"... yea, most people never contemplate the
origin, nature, methods, and limits of their own knowledge.

I've had an NDE which told me for certain there is more to this life than we
know. It also told me there are no pearly gates or big bearded god sitting
on a throne being fawned over by angels. That was just some dude in a cave
having a bad mushroom trip that came up with that crap.

Interestingly enough
a high percentage of convicted felons think the same way
you do.
So do a large proportion of people with genius level IQs. Go figure.

Why would that be an important notation for you or anyone?
Do you think they have some grasp of truth or the world that
other do not have?

They have the intelligence to see past the brainwashing and indoctrination
of organised religion and see it for the confidence trick it always has
been.

And yet you're not an elitist.

Wow.

I may not have the figures dead right, but essentially 75% of
Americans are Christian, and 75% of the prison population is
Christian. 15% of the Americans atheist, but only 1% of the prison
population is atheist.

This is because the atheists number the intellectually brightest
(obviously).

There are zero requirements to call oneself a "professional
sound engineer." There are no educational, licencing or certification
requirements... not even a drivers license.

There are two ways to be a professional. You can be professional in the
way you work and with the skills you posess or you can make your living
from it. Arny is neither.

You're singing to the choir. And yet Arny has had real experiences
too. You can't discount everything he has learned and experienced
over the last dozen years I known him.

He's a narcissist, get over it.

Concerning the profession of sound engineering requirements,
Arny gave this advice "However, you need to keep developing
your skills and keep up with new technology. Occasional seminars,
visits to trade shows, and reading a few of the industry periodicals
also help." Of course he can't live up to his own low expectations.

SNIP QUACKING

I think you are hung-up on your personal identification and
commitment to a tail-light (professional sound engineer).

You've only scratched the surface of Arny's lack of integrity.
Unfortunately he see it as trading debate. Your energy is wasted
on someone who is not listening.

Unlike Arny, who is about as much a professional
sound engineer as I am a rabbi.

If Arny earns 51% of his income from sound engineering,
then he is -- legally, at least -- a professional sound engineer.

nonsequitur

Perhaps I should have said "in terms of one's income-tax returns".

Arny claims to have a six figure income. I wonder if his tax returns show
that much? Maybe if someone forwarded his post where he claimed his
massive income to the IRS...........?

Hehehe... Arny wrote "I have invested $20,000 or more in audio
equipment in say the past 5 years". Unfortunately he couldn't recall
just what that entailed.

He has learned VERY little about live sound.

He's a narcissist, get over it.

Actually he's mentally ill. It's called Paranoid Personality Disorder. Look
it up on google and you will see he's a poster child for the disease.

One of the problems with that disease is you become incapable of admitting
you are wrong about anything at all, take corrections as personal attacks
and just argue yourself into a deeper and deeper hole until you look totally
stupid. We've seen it with Arny soooooooo many times. He is simply incapable
of learning because he is incapable of admitting he is wrong to anyone,
especially himself. I'm not attacking Arny here, just pointing out why he
can never properly contribute to this newsgroup.

It is what is discussed on this newsgroup. If Arny gives bad or dangerous
advice (which he does on a regular basis) nobody corrects him because the
vast majority have him killfiled. He is occasionally removed from killfiles
but soon finds his way back into them. Just look at the complete lack of
replies to most of his posts over the last few months except for the same
few individuals who don't killfile anybody. Sadly anything he posts looks
bad on everybody on the group to someone who has just joined and a newbie
might just take him seriously.

You've only scratched the surface of Arny's lack of integrity.

He isn't listening but it is fun allowing him to humiliate himself. We all
know he puts on a brave face but he must be fuming behind his keyboard and
distraught that nobody takes him seriously with an ego like his.

It would have been much better spent on classes to teach him basic live
sound engineering and serious professional medical help for his PPD.

Of course a lot of that figure I suspect came from his church. He just loves
to waste their money on expensive new toys they don't really need. Did you
know he records everything to hard disk then analyses any feedback on his
computer so he can hope to fix it for next week's show? [1]
