Dave Dermont 06/02/09 10:32 AM, 0 CommentsI have a keen interest in the history of live sound reinforcement, the gear that was used way back when, and the associated advancements of technology. I’m also very interested in new technology, even if the price tag of the cutting-edge stuff means the chances of me using it any time soon are a pipe dream. And, I also like to just hang out and talk shop with other sound guys. A recent event planned by some ProSoundWeb community members,… View this story

Dave Dermont 05/15/09 10:42 AM, 0 CommentsI can’t believe I have been at my new house gig for a couple months now. Time sure flies when you’re having fun! I wasn’t there when they brought in the gear and set it up, so some things are not the way I would have set them up. The mixer is on top of the outboard rack, like you’d do with a portable rig. Bending down behind a rack is not the best way to hear the tweaks you’re… View this story

Dave Dermont 02/18/09 11:43 AM, 0 CommentsEver since my most recent steady house gig became not quite so steady, I’ve been banished to a 14-foot straight truck to do gigs that usually come at the last minute. In fact, last minute gigs have become the rule instead of the exception. I used to consider getting booked for a Saturday gig on the prior Tuesday as a tight timeframe.

Dave Dermont 02/03/09 10:03 AM, 3 CommentsIt’s Super Bowl time, and all the experts on the ProSoundWeb forums are telling us how they just know what parts of the halftime show were ‘live’ and what were pre-recorded tracks. Or whatever. Pre-recorded tracks can make what is already a technical nightmare a bit less terrifying to those involved.
