Cmdr. Cracken Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Going to, one day, pick up Left4Dead. One of the reasons was pointed out by my co-workers today at BBY. Co-Worker: Kyle, why the F*** don't you have left 4 dead? Me: Um... World of Warcraft and Rock Band 2 are amazing? Co-Worker: Dude, you always talk about how to survive the ZOmbie Apocalypse. Do you realize how much you'd f**kin' own at that game? You'd be like.... a genius! I mean, you have the Zombie Survival Guide on your PDA! (This is truth.) Me: ............ You have a point. So, due to the flawless logic, I may, in the next few weeks, be on XBL playing Left 4 Dead. I wonder if there are swords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Rehearsal tonight was chaotic, but short. Then: someone started a Facebook group called "We are unhappy with the BPC sound engineer." (This being me, of course.) As you might expect, I took it all a little personally, joined the group, and let them have it with both barrels. I am now DOMINATING all discussion on this group. My goal: Make them regret ever starting something like this... because as you all know: I can type a LOT when I get fired up. And trust me: even though the name of the group has since been changed to something slightly less inflammatory... I am plenty fired up over this.

But at least you still have some professional pride. I lost mine quite a while back - I have long since accepted that anything I do is crap.

edlib Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Well: Perhaps we can use it to teach people how to really run a concert. Usually by the time they get to my stage all the crappy bad habits are ingrained, and the attitude that "the sound-guy is always a schmuck, and your enemy" is pretty deeply rooted. If I can use what started as a pretty ****ty personal attack on me to educate the masses and ultimately make my days at work easier... it will be an overall positive. There have been several dozen of my former crew-folks who have leaped to my defense without me asking, as well. That makes me feel pretty good.

Keyan Farlander Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 If you want to teach people how to run a concert, I suggest you take a hint from the greatest there ever was: "Alright, ladies and gentlemen. It takes two people to run a concert: one back stage, and one out front. One man alone cannot do this. Wayne, you will run the backstage team. Milton, you are my liaison between Wayne's backstage team and Garth's front-stage team which includes myself in the booth. To the left and right of the stage are machine-gun pillboxes, M-60 Browning. Now these babies tend to heat up so shoot in 3 second bursts. In the event of capture I will personally distribute these cyanide capsules to be placed under the tongue like so.

edlib Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Yeah. You'd really think people would have learned by now... You might also think that the scene in "This Is Spinal Tap" dealing with the guitar wireless might just be enough to scare people off radio mics forever... but you would be wrong.

Wildstar Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 641 last night on a night when I wasn't really putting anything dead flush in the pocket, but was still getting carry (had a number of late 4 pins and 5 "Brooklyn" (left side of head pin for right-hander) strikes)...that's got to be scary.

Cmdr. Cracken Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Wireless for sound is stupid. Especially if you have a discerning ear and are listening to some really high end encoded stuff. I always tell people at work, you think a recording studio is wireless? How do you think thier stuff sounds amazing. Stop being lazy damnit.

Kuuki Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hmm, let's see here if i'm setup right: Wired optical mouse,... check wired headphones,... check built in mic,... check wired printer,... check wired into the power outlet,... double check useing a cat5 which is directly connected to a router that currently provides a wireless network which i dont like to use,... check check and check.

edlib Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Every single concert I have ever mixed that used wireless mics has had issues with them. Last night's show was no exception. Too many additional factors involved. With a wired mic there are mainly 2 things that could go wrong: the mic or the cable. With wireless there are still those 2 things... but an exponential increase in other factors that could go wrong as well. Well,.. we (myself and my co-workers and crew) pretty much took over control of that Facebook group. I am now an administrator of it. Sometimes, you just **** with the wrong guy online... and it bites you in the ass. I've been at this a long time, son. You don't mess with an Interweb Sith Lord and live to tell the tale.

edlib Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 P'haps... but these folks simply didn't see what was coming. By all accounts: it was some major ownage. I have at least 200 current and former crew folks on Facebook, any one of which have my back... not to mention a lot of other folks who will often say I am the best sound engineer they ever work with. This was not going to be taken lying down. Yet I never lost my cool, and was far more civil than some of my accusers. I do believe this was my shining hour.
