Live PA Workshop and Supporting Information
On Sunday 20April2012 I will be presenting and breaking down my current LivePA rig for a workshop (details and registration). This workshop will cover the physical and digital aspects fo this idea. I have over $20,000 in gear rotated through this build in the past few years. Currently I am at a happy plateau of great tone, fun to play, light, versatile, and awesome.
One of the main leaps forward is the use of a FMR Audio RNC compressor that is getting signal from Ableton and side chaining the (all analog) signal.
The all analog signal is a Dave Smith Tetra > Soundcraft Notepad 102 > Aphex 102 Optical Compressor > EHX Memory Boy Delux Delay > RNC
Take a look at the signal flow
