Here's '
my' rig... I say '
my' rig because it houses all the tech for the whole band, sound and lighting!
Top to bottom:
MacBook Pro - yep, it works!
New Allen & Heath Qu-16 - utterly brilliant desk!
Dbx DriveRack PA - crossover, EQ and limiting control for our QSC PA
Boss VF-1 - an old multi-FX unit which now does nothing more than fill a half-rack space!
Alesis Trigger I/O - receives signals from our triggered drum kit (acoustic looking, but fully deadened)
Focusrite Saffire Pro40 - audio interface to get the sounds from the MacBook Pro into the mixer
Presonus HP60 - receives four, separate stereo mixes from the Qu-16 and distributes hard-wired stereo in-ear monitor feeds to each band member
TC Helicon VoiceWorksPlus - effects for my vocal
TC Helicon VoiceWorks - was used for backing vocal effects, but now a redundant spare due to the Qu-16's excellent on-board effects
Fractal Audio Axe FX II - my baby!
Fractal Audio Axe FX Ultra - my former baby now used by bandmate
Line 6 Bass POD Pro - yep, it may be Line 6, but it produces a great bass tone!
1u Drawer - spare strings, picks, blank set list sheets, pens, tape etc etc
Also housed inside the rack is a USB - DMX lighting unit and an old Seagate portable USB hard-drive for the Qu-16's incredible multitrack recording facility 8)
We wheel it in, hook up three multicores (one for each stage front corner for mics, PA feed and lighting DMX send, the other for drum triggers, drummer's mic & in-ear feed), plug in custom built combined in-ear and guitar cables to the back panel and we're good to go :encouragement:
