    Behringer X32Rack or something else?

    I haven’t read every post on this thread. Apologies if I’m recycling info. I love Yamaha stuff and own a boatload of their gear. I’m sure the TF line is probably excellent as is the majority of what they make. Your band certainly won’t suffer with the TF stuff. I own the X32 Rack and...

    Crisis? No but a break

    When my kids were young, I dropped my involvement in bands and focused on playing solo acoustic. It was far less time consuming and something I could rehearse on my own schedule. I learned to sing well enough to get hired at the local bars and ski areas playing for the apres ski crowd...

    What are these two chords? -- Sade Paradise near the end

    Live equipment list for a 4 piece band - help and advice

    The X32 Rack is fantastic. But it’s $1000 more expensive and probably overkill for a weekend band. But if you think you’ll need more than 18 channels, more than 4 effects slots or you’re saving scenes or doing some elaborate routing, the X32 will future-proof you.

    Travel Ball insanity and Parents training their Kids to be Pros......

    In a story too long to get in to here, I was associated with Sid Sussman, the founder of Miss USA, back in the mid-1980’s. Through that association, I was an official in several of the state Miss USA and junior Miss USA pageants. I can tell you, without a doubt, it’s a money making scheme of...

    Live equipment list for a 4 piece band - help and advice

    The Behringer stuff is great. I like the XR18 as it also records multitrack. I have an old one that was very reliable. We always used an external router as the built in WiFi solution was not very reliable. That may have changed over the years. But you might want to include an...

    What would you do?

    Unless there is a significant sum of money at stake, why burn this bridge? I have to assume that this person is a real talent to work with you. Sadly, real talent is hard to find - especially vocalists. If you own the copyright, you’re protected.

    Good point. I’ve talked a lot about NIL lately - a good friend is a D1 Athletic Director - but I never thought about the implications for youth sports. You’re right. The increased insanity is practically guaranteed. I may have to start a competitive sports league... 😜

    Very few words in the English language elicit a stronger response from parents than when you pair “your child” and “potential”. Travel sports are a business, a lucrative one. (Travel hockey Dad here)

    Who’s the Guitarist

    I see an HX Stomp on the pedalboard. Assume he’s going DI with a model out of the HX Stomp.

    The Ineos Grenadier

    I just picked up one of these. I’m about 1,200 miles in so far. I love it. We did some light four-wheeling yesterday. It was as solid as a Land Cruiser and as capable as a Jeep.

    Vegas Sphere

    I remember going to a baseball game in Chicago - Comiskey Park, I think. I felt like if I fell out of my seat, I’d land on home plate. It seemed like I was looking straight down.

    Vegas Sphere

    The day after the show, we spoke with a woman who had also sprung for the VIP package but wasn’t able to deal with the sensory overload. She described it as “seasick”. She was outta there after a few songs. It happens.

    Forum members tearing it up at NAMM

    Larry got up in the morning, looked in his closet and knew what he was doing that day. #rockstar

    Vegas Sphere

    BTW, the Sphere is now showing a couple of hour-long movies. If you can’t make a concert date, go to the movie!!! We wanted to go back for a movie but our ride had to get back. The good seats are $250’ish - don’t bring the kids😜! The cheap seats were $69 ish. I don’t particularly enjoy...
