This week we went to the new campus of Wooddale in Edina to get all the band gear setup and sound checked to be prepared for the first rehearsal. We had to unpack all the stuff like cables, DIs, mics... Then we laid out the stage with the band gear. We got the drumset all miced, the bass setup with a Sansamp, the guitarist setup with a POD X3 Live, the piano miced, the synth setup with a Yamaha S90, and all the vocal mics. We got the HearBack system working, it's an in-ear monitor system to eliminate stage noise. It sends seperate channels of each instrument of the band and lets you mix it yourslef. The vocalists a pair of stage monitors, L-Acoustics 8XT's, they are an amazing sounding box. We had a couple musicians there so we got levels set on most of the instruments and got a feel for how it will sound. Pretty good. We then checked the audio coming from the video souce. The video station has the audio from the computer, DVCAM and DVD all summed with a small mixer and sends just one line to the FOH console. That was pretty much it for this week.
