![]() ![]() I thought I had brought enough XLR cables, but when I was unpacking, there were not enough. Setting up was fairly easy, but I ran into a couple of problems. On woodwinds, we used my other AKG C414 (the EB version, the other 414 is a ULS). For trumpet, since I was running out of mics, we used a Sennheiser 421 on trumpet. The bass player had a line out of his amp, and I also placed one of my AKG C414s in front of his bass to get the plucking sound. The piano player brought his set of Audix SCX25A piano mics. Luckily the overhead mic, my trusty Rode NT4 did a most excellent job capturing the drum set. It was rattling and picked up more hihat than floor tom. Not sure if the mic was crapping out (Audix drumset mics, fairly new), or bad cable or connector or placement. The floor tom, for whatever reason, sounded like crap. Luckily we were just using the Presonus for the drum set, and it did get the snare, kick, and two toms fairly well. There was too much going on and I didn’t check every little thing. Not sure why, perhaps I didn’t have the gains up enough, or what. On the gig, the Presonus didn’t sound all that great. We tested this several weeks ago, and it seemed to work just fine. The Presonus was basically being used for the preamps and each one of those was being lined into the Mackie mixer. The equipment used was a Mackie Onyx 1620i mixer (firewire enabled), and an old Presonus. It was an interesting learning experience. ![]()
