Do your thing, man. i know you can't reproduce the exact sound that is at the venue, but I guess it would sound awesome. BTW, How old is the PM4K? What outboard processors were you using, Like gates and comps?

[jjdrummerboy]

@Iriebent i dont remember. probably drawmer or bss comps gates, but i didnt use much. just gates on toms. that pm4k, not sure how old. probably 15+.

wow, good to see the PM4000 still in use. I thought they went the way of the dinosaurs.

[jjdrummerboy]

@JonHawaii2003 i believe analog will make its way back once day. look at dave rat. whats he using? his xl4's, right?

[ephelduath606]

Why on earth would you deploy a PM4000 and not use VCAs? Sounds terrible btw.

@ephelduath606

Didn't want to use the vca's. ofcourse it sounds terrible! it was recorded on a cheap ass digital camera with video capabilities! DUH!

How'd you connect the line array to the PM4K? Did you use the matrix or just the Stereo Out? Great vid and mix!

@ephelduath606 Rofl and usually there are 6 people going i can do better than that

[nelydk]

What's the name of this song?

[JonHawaii2003]

@jjdrummerboy I always liked analog stuff. I ran a Ramsa WR-S840 monitor console for years, it made sense. The newer consoles just don't seem user friendly and IMO don't sound as warm as analog. We had a PM3000 FOH console and ran 32 Claire S-4's. They could handle anything from Sting to Metallica to James Taylor. If you knew how to EQ the system it sounded AMAZING. But man was it a pain to fly. Them damn bumpers. But they were a lot easier than flying Hill M3 cabinets.

let me guess, this is one of those old yamaha consoles right, or am i way off. i think ive used this one before for theatre.
