This is a tool every single sound person should include in their gig pack. It’s the XLR Sniffer/Sender pack made by Rat Sound.
It has three LEDs which turn green, red, or off. Three green indicates that all three wires are correctly connected and can be used for the show! If those LEDs show anything different, then it’s not suitable for use and requires repair.
Really good uses for it would be testing snakes, installed XLRs, XLR cables, and anything else that has XLR connectors.
If a tech suspects a bad channel on a snake being used and said tech is the only tech for said production (usually happens at a club gig), simply turn on phantom power on suspect channel (please don’t forget to mute that channel!!), then use the “Sniffer” end to test suspect channel on the box section on stage.
Pretty cool huh?!
When mixing front of house (FOH), lower volumes make for a cleaner, more crisp sound in the room. This practice can be difficult to achieve depending on the type of materials said structure is built of, stubborn musicians (but you shouldn’t be stubborn yourself as resistance can cause conflict), general style/scene, and/ or other such factors.
If you want heavy drum sounds yet maintain a low volume, double bussing is your friend! (double bussing is sending one bus to a compressor in stereo and also sending to LR uncompressed on each desired channel)
From now on
From now on, this blog will be for other audio engineers to get advice and learn things I learn on the job. I will be posting photos/descriptions of various PA system components, console tricks, EQ curves that worked for me, mic placements, stage organization, must needed tools, and other cool things.
cheers,

Zombies hate fast food.
You wouldn’t think so, but they’re real health freaks. None of those fast humans who eat nothing but organic, free-range food bought at Trader’s Joe. No no, they expect nothing but the best. They like their food to have been fed four Big Macs a day, thank you very much. Buy this and more at SnorgTees!
