Ted Gregorek commented on Clint Kaster's blog post Bad Production. Soundguy as Event Manager. Saying NO.Ted Gregorek commented on Aama Ralte's blog post SIDECHAIN"So If I understand the question you are compressing the Kick and using the snare to trigger the compressor? Usually you would be gating the kick and snare and use an EQ in the side chain to only open the gate with a certain frequency. so the snare…"
Ted Gregorek replied to David "DJ Spynn" Mires's discussion Driverack with K or KW series in the group QSC"The big difference between the K and th KW is the wood box vs. the plastic. If your going to throw them around a bunch I'd go with the wood just for the ruggedness of the wood box."

It was the small VU meter next to the fader. it never worked right out of the box. It didn't effect the sound…"

Ted Gregorek commented on Goat's blog post The dumbing down of Pro Audio..."WEEELLLLLLLLL kinda, First of all I avoid guitar center at all cost on a Saturday. Too many people whanging on stuff.

Ted Gregorek replied to Gaurav S's discussion Which is a better Digital Console ????"What is the most important factor is are you full filling riders? I think all the consoles you've mentioned have high merits. The new Version of the Allen & heath is nice as is the Soundcraft lines. But if your getting riders I'll bet…"
Ted Gregorek replied to Chris Richard's discussion Biggest bang for the buck in the group Front of House"That QRX stuff is great especially for the money. I like the bi-amp / passive switch and the main/ monitor cut of the cabinet. And if you get a bigger gig you can rent the other stuff and add it to yours. "

Ted Gregorek replied to David Elmore's discussion Suggestions for a band carrying own digital mixer in the group Front of House"Most of the acts running out of Nashville are carrying their own monitor rig.

First console?
Posted on May 31, 2011 at 11:33am 29 Comments 0 Likes
I was just looking at an old blog about what old gear did you "Cut your teeth on" I want to narrow it down and ask. What was your first console? I'm going to skip over the Sunn power mixer I had when I was 14. The first console I did a Professional gig on was an old Black faced Allen & Heath 24-4-2. I did monitors for Charlie Pride, it was a one off. The guy I worked for had one for front of house and a factory modified one that was a 24x 8 monitor desk. We out boarded the power supply… Continue

Analog world
Posted on May 20, 2011 at 12:59pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
There's a bunch of good stuff on the Analog world group. But it seems to be mostly discussions about digital consoles. I suggested changing the name to " Analog guy's going kicking and screaming into a digital world" Anyway It occurred to me that the major players in the console manufacturing business aren't doing any development in analog. They are dropping analog product, Midas is still making the H3000, APB is making a 56ch large format console, Yamaha doesn't have a real contender in a… Continue
The Educated Engineer
Posted on May 14, 2011 at 7:35am 22 Comments 0 Likes
Ok I don’t want to offend anyone, or discredit the school of “Hard Knocks” BUT How many of you out there have a degree pertaining to Audio Engineering? I’m the first person to graduate from the Indiana University School of Music with a degree in Audio Engineering. Other disciplines like telecom, radio, electrical engineering, technical theater etc. would apply. I was out on the Billy Joel Storm Front tour and a bunch of us were sitting around waiting for sound check and the topic of…
Continue Personal Monitor systems
Posted on May 14, 2011 at 7:14am 3 Comments 0 Likes
I was wondering if anyone out there has been using personal monitor systems in a live or touring setting? Like the Aviom or Hear systems, or just small mixers with splitters. Yamaha has an Aviom Card for their digital desks and The Roland M400 mixing system has a proprietary mixer. I’ve seen some others.
I’ve used them in permanent installs in churches, with great success I might add. But has anyone been touring with them, and how are you using them?… ContinueComment Wall (15 comments)

Jason Rowland said… - 50 sounds almost plausible - I'll go back to the gift shop and see if they have any virtual medicine or a +10dB shelf @ 6k. What's your schedule like this week - I'll be hitching the team and heading to the mercantile for sundries (molasses, salt-pork, calico - the usual) - we could meet at the trough, gum our way through some hamsteaks, and it wouldn't take all week to have a 5 minute conversation like it does on these typewriters.

- Ted? Is that really you? I think the real Ted would be using all caps and lots of exclamation points. I was going to attach a gift to this comment - maybe the ice cream, maybe the bear - but as you're obviously not the real Ted, no virtual gifts for you....

Are you still in Indiana?

- Hello Ted ! It's good to hear from you! I'm still doing design/consulting work, and mostly doing live-to-tape shows like the Superbowl, American Music Awards, TV specials etc......
Are you still Touring? I haven't worked a Tour since 2001.

Steve M Savanyu said… - And for a little extra sizzle, we added the JBL ring radiator (aka bullet) tweeters, or the JBL slot radiator (aka Prism) tweeters. Guys with really low budgets used a big bank of motorola plastic piezos. Now that was painful!

EROQ said… - Thanks, how much for the m30? I believe that's the one everyone uses? Would the interface matter? I can use my friends m-audio 410 If that's good enough? Thanks
