Just in from tonight's event....a nice late one! The show yesterday wrapped around lunch time and we packed up as quickly as we could and got home to get ready for today's gig. Tonight was a pretty standard event for a local hospital's annual gala. Tonight was a swing era theme so the band got to pull out all the old charts. It was a good night in a great sounding historic ballroom that has easy access and free parking! The house A/V company made a pretty good mess of the podium mic that was an SM58 going through the ballrooms tiny intercom speakers which were some 30 feet up in the ceiling....unfortunately in the area under the wrap around balcony the speakers are only 3 feet above your head, this makes for a very interesting effect. No extra charge for the swells of 400Hz throughout the program.
I cringe just thinking about what the hotel charged the client for that sound system usage; I would have been happy to throw a podium mic up and run the program through my system...crazy!
Taking a day off finally tomorrow to watch Game 7 and do some system maintenance.
