Started doing sound in 1973, on road for 8 years as a soundman playing in Midwest, then built a 8-Track Otari/Ramsa/Klipsch studio here in Kalamazoo MI. Still dabble a bit, getting into some video also.

I've taken it upon myself to learn as much as I can to operate a modest system at peak efficiency. I've never been able to find a guy to run sound that could get my guitar to sound like what's coming from my amp, let alone bass and drums, so I started doi
g it myself by going wireless and doing the board tweaking while playing. It's a pain in the ass, but many of us low budget players gotta' do it. Thanks for this great site to make our chorelist a little easier come gig time.

I own/operate a small sound business called Certain Sounds Productions, I provide live-music gear for local indoor/outdoor events, social functions, and I run a local coffeehouse along with a few other volunteers in town. Mostly guy/gal with guitar kinda
f stuff, contemporary folk and bluegrass music. It's pretty fun when you do it, because you enjoy running sound. I do many fund-raising events as well. I've been in business for about 2 years and I am always learning something new.

Scott...Good down to Earth stuff. In my 20's when I had a group, I kept all the various pieces wired together including the stuff the guitar player always broke. Like your bio said about one of your setups, it was one head here, an amp there, cords I made
since it was cheaper to make my own and the quality was better. I still have an old TOA MX 106 powered head with stereo record, Remember those? Still works. Wish I'd have known you then to play bass. We did a lot of Doors covers and originals with a keybo
rd guy playing the keyboard bass at the same time as the organ. Definately a cool thin Doors sound. Thanks for a great site! Like your songs too!

Okay,

I'm putting together a one-man show. It's me on live vocals and guitar with recorded backup music (cassette tape). I'm just starting to figure out what kind of PA I need. Probably a powered mixer. I'll be doing this in fairly small venues - nightclub, VFW
etc. Got any suggestions on equipment, power req's., etc. Thanks for your web page!!!

I have dj'd for about twenty years; my style and system has evolved to a much simpler -straight forward and satisfying sound. I've found that EQ (top to bottom balance) is 99% of your sound. I have played for very mixed audiences at wedding receptions a
relatively high volumes (more on this), but I've learned that controlling the EQ has allowed even the old folks to stay and enjoy it right to the end. The show has to be a continuous crescendo, and when the volume plateau has been reached, slow dancing
at lower levels allows everyone to relax and talk before kicking it back in with more high-energy dance music, blending 50's, hard rock and 80s/90s dance. Nobody, young or old, wants it at constant hi-volume.

An excellent site. Congrats.
I am in the market for a PA for small pub-sized venues and your site is a revelation. I am rhythm guitarist / apprentice lead guitarist and vocalist in an Athens (Greece)-based bar band. (I'm Irish not Greek though.)
I'd like to know what speaker brands you recommend. Celestion seems to feature quite a bit. What about cabinet build - how important is this? Also what about connectors and cables - any thing to watch for here. I am completely non-technical (although
our site was easy to follow)and am learning from practically zero. What sort of speaker output should I aim for for small pub-sized venues? As this is Greece, there are quite a few outdoor gigs too. Could I use the same setup. Any tips would be apprec
ated.

Great site! Just recently bought a PA system. I'm doing solo acoustic stuff now. Saw an ad in the Austin Chronicle for a PA. Went and checked it out. The powered mixer is a late 70's/early 80's Neptune? 4 channel, spring reverb, 200W. Nothing fancy
outdated, but okay. The speakers are Bullfrogs, 2-way, with 12" woofer and large horn. The cabinets are about 24"H x 18"W x 12"D. Rather heavy, but good shape. It also came with early model Ultimate tripod stands, when they were silver/gray, instead
f the more recent black. All of this I paid $200. Think I got a good deal! 2 questions, The speakers only have serial numbers, no model numbers. I called Bullfrog, and they didn't keep records from before they bought the company. I was wondering what
the speakers are rated at. Also, each speaker has 2 parallel 1/4 inputs. What's the reason for this, and can I plug into either of them? Also, there are only 2 outputs from the amp/mixer for speakers. Where do I plug in for a monitor? There are sever
l inputs and outs for effects. I still think I got a pretty good deal. Thanks, David

WANTS IT HIS WAY. DRUNKS IN THE BAR ARE ALWAYS GIVING TIPS. BUT ITS FUN. OR WAS FUN. I LIVE IN THE SAGINAW MICHIGAN AREA. MOST BARS IN THE MID MICHIGAN AREA HAVE LIVE BANDS. NOT TOO MANY CONCERTS IN THIS AREA. MOST BIGGER BANDS GO TO DETROIT.

Liked the sound bite for Blue. We are just putting together a fussion jazz band in Dallas. We are writing our own material. Still looking for a rythm guitarist - if you know any in this area. PA system next on the list of things to do. Take care and

Can't find decent musicians to work with (and if I do they turn out to be perverted old farts!), so I'm thinking of marketing my own act using a Peavy amp/mixer with built in effects, PA Speakers, and either a CD or tape player for my music. So far I may
go all Peavy. Any other suggestions? The right mike is very important to me also. Any suggestions there? Take care. Hope to hear from you.

I really enjoyed your page,,,, as a matter of fact, my wife has been running sound for us for appx. six months now. She and one other person that helps sometimes are extremely "Un-biased" which is hard to find. No squeals, hums so far and a very clean r
ch sound. But your info is great and has given me, (us) some ideas, especially what the guy said about utilizing the stereo board / eqpt. better in a mono set-up, because it does make sense that the majority of the folks at our place, ( house band in a
ocal dance hall ) don't get to enjoy the "stereo mix" like you would at home. OH well,,,,,, Keep up the good work

I am really grateful for the efforts you have made putting this site together, I run a little dance club but it is becoming really popular and I book bands swing jump blues, soul etc and people dance and have a good time.
I recognise the need to become more technically aware of PA/ equipment issues so I can better understand band's requirements . I have just purchased an amp ( 400 watts) twin cd deck, mixer. ( all KAM) and I have a couple of ramsa speakers 80 watts RM
to help me beacome more aware of DJ side too ( buying the stuff means I have to learn. Not yet got the sysyem in stero so I am geeting it a little wrong somewhere ( I have also hooked up my speakers to my home hifi - getting stereo)- I shall follow
our guidance and see what happens- have a look at my site if you wish.
Thanks again

Hi there!
I have some questions about stage monitors. Basically I will be running sound from the stage while I sing with sound tracks or play my guitar and drum machine. My husband is a minister and I sing . . . we go to churches most often, but sometimes we go t
prisons too.
We just bought a set of "Dawn" speakers (These are the mains). With them I can run about 200 watts per side. I don't have our new amp yet, but were thinking of buying a Fender that can put out 400 watts, total.
O.k. Here are my questions: What kind of stage monitors should I get? Are more watts going to deliver better sound quality? We're thinking of spending about $100 per monitor . . . I don't want something dinky, though . . . I'm looking for something g
od . . . so that when I'm singing and playing I'll have a "hot" sound in front of me to help me deliver a good performance. What brands should I consider and how many watts minimum should I get? How close to a "Bose" sound can I get for a hundred bucks?
(Perhaps I am asking for a lot . . . )
I appreciate what ever you can share. I'm visiting our daughter so I am giving you her internet address.
Thanks!

First off I want to appoligize for first entry. Complete loss of motor skills in my hands. Second I have been running sound for a couple of local bands in South FL. I think I'm pretty good, but my bass player says he can't hear himself through the monitor
. I told him it is because he has a crappy monitor. Was I wrong? Any advice would greatly be appreciated.
