Last Sunday, we had our big soundcheck day. We had access to a nice room with a stage to tweak and play with our system and spend the first few hours on individual instruments: what microphone, where exactly to place this, and the initial settings (pre-amp, EQ, compression) for that channel on the IDR. In the afternoon, all Gonnagles went on stage and played for about on hour.
Setting up the total mix was a breeze, since the individual channels are already set up. Also, setting up the monitor mixes is easy: just walk on stage with the table and set the levels :)
Some things that bothered me are:
- sometimes, the ilive editor displays the message: system busy. You have to wait a few seconds before you can do anything
- when an editor connects, the already connected editors and PL10 are very very slow
- when an editor fails (network failure), the other editors and PL10 don't respond for almost a minute
- the 5ghz wireless network is not really good though walls
I've uploaded our show file
here, which contains all our settings and such. For now, we have just 3 monitor mixes (1: left, 2: right, 3: guitar).
