    How to play over Min7b5 (half diminished) chords, Gibson 175, FractalAudio I get asked about this all the time. My answer is to think about them as minor chord up a minor 3rd from the root. So for Dm7b5, think of Fminor. The second question I get is "which minor scale". The two that...

    dumb question - any "fix" for the loud pop you get when powering on/off?

    as i've said 4 or 5x, in a small jazz club there's not a full time sound guy.

    dumb question - any "fix" for the loud pop you get when powering on/off?

    i wouldn't even know which of the 36+ inputs is mine. I'm sure they don't want me messing with their sound board. And then, it's likely it'll be off the rest of the night. It'd be better to fix the issue at the source.

    dumb question - any "fix" for the loud pop you get when powering on/off?

    this is XLR outputs on both the FOH and my studio inputs

    dumb question - any "fix" for the loud pop you get when powering on/off?

    that's not how it works in a small jazz club. Jazz clubs only recently started having house systems and can't afford an FOH engineer. The guy running the sound is a waiter or bartender doing it part time and typically at the beginning of the sets.

    Handling 3 sets of outputs

    disabling the block doesn't work because if you have an out2 block, the output will be routed to that block. Disabling the block mutes the outputs.

    Handling 3 sets of outputs
