Is my rig a viable solution for an edrum stage monitor? anyone else use it?Read More...

Nope...sorryRead More...

I have sat down and created a saved scene, first off use gates on snare & toms, pulls unwanted noise from the stage (others pa/ amps etc) & can help pull that ring out of the kit and kick gate obviously for the kick. Ive used 4/5 to share the toms and just used mic placement before doing any eq and adjustment. The gates will help also by also pulling out sympathetic rings from other amplification frequencies. send tonematch through a headphone amp instead of the system so you can...Read More...

Yes I did ! Thanks so much !! The Bosepro community it most excellent !!!Read More...

thanks again for watching guys! It was fun putting all the clips together as was my plan from the beginning of the summer, play it exactly the same way every time!! Luckily, I only used 1 extension on the Compact on the boat gig, it was up on a elevated part of the ship so I thought I could save it faster if needed!!Read More...

I bought one of these gramma pads a couple of years agao but haven't used it in a while. I'll have to try it out again. Drumr - do you notice the difference mostly on elevated stages?Read More...

Hi etc6, Thank you for joining the Forum. How does the djembe sound when you turn off the KickGate ? The reason I'm asking "KickGate is a Bose® proprietary technology on the T1 ToneMatch® Audio Engine that allows you to raise the level of a kick drum channel while eliminating the risk of feedback from the microphone. In addition, KickGate cleans up the sound of kick drum so that it's tight and clean as it is without amplification. " And so I'm wondering if it KickGate is offering you a...Read More...

I have never experienced that problem with my E-drums. To me it sounds like a sound module issue, not the L1...knowing what I know now. That, or you might be over-driving the input on the T1's channel, are you seeing a red LED light? When I mic my acoustic kick, if it's redlining, it sounds crackl-y.Read More...

Hi Lake Guy, I'm not going to suggest which way is better - but you if you are in a mood to experiment: Try connecting the B1s directly to the Model II Power Stand and the B2 to the A1 PackLite. Note: The B2 Bass Level Switch will have no effect. Try connecting the B2 directly to Model II Power Stand and the B1s to the A1 PackLite. ... and try different settings on the B2 Bass Level Switch. And another thought... consider putting a single B1 on each of the L1 Model I systems for the guitar...Read More...

Hi Grannydrums, Found the manual for the Roland TD-10 . It doesn't specify whether the outputs are balanced or not, and from that, it seems likely that the outputs are unbalanced. I just saw Drumr's post so I think we can drop the "balanced or unbalanced" line of thought.Read More...

at tonights rehearsal everyone agreed that they liked the sound of the bass drum through the mixing board and into the tone match. much better than the bass preset on the t1. so i think i am going to forget about using channels 1-3 for drum mics and just use the mixing desk into channel 4, means taking an extra bit of kit along,but i might be able to downsize the mixing desk. and the bass player will be pleased because she might be able to use my system rather than her amp.Read More...

Hey Grannydrums, We've all done it. Seriously... these newfangled contraptions get the best of everybody every now and then.Read More...

I see...and believe you are the first lady drummer on the forum! Welcome! Yes, the bass drum needs mic'ing, I have to do it too. I play heel down and don't have a ton of power in my foot, the L1 helps greatly. I stack my 2-B1s, and put a cushion on top to use as a drum throne, saves one piece of kit. Every little bit helps.Read More...

Hi Drumr, That's your most positive review of the B2 isn't it? Sounds like you had a nice time. That's great.Read More...

Followup: With several experiments completed on the options to use a T1 or the direct line in to the model II I've settled on the direct line in method. Simpler and I don't have to mess around with settings on the T1 to optimize.Read More...

i have the dtx etreme 3's. a normal pa just doesnt have the right eq. u need lots of sub bass and smooth hights. the 1s would be perfect. even a bose home theatre system would work real nice.Read More...

It's been a few months since my original post so thought I would provide an update. For those that are currently using acoustic cymbals do you mic them and in what scenarios? I purchased a set of Paiste 14" Twenty Seies hi-hats. Nice dark sound and defined "chic" sound. They play well with all kinds of music. Also purchased a Paiste 20" Power Ride. Both of these cymbals have a lot of cutting power through the mix so I haven't had any scenario where I've had to mic them. Is the overall band...Read More...

Excellent point on the mixer controls, they are a must have. With the TD-20 I have a couple more sliders than my 12 had so that's really nice. Also, with the 20 I've got 8 outs I use for recording (don't use midi) which would take more gear hooked into some laptop config. Wish Alesis or someone would take the dock concept and add: -- sliders for live mixing -- 1/4" audio outs (at least 8) That would completely open up the ipad for any software company to build out the drum software.Read More...

Just off the subject, but relative to the subject at hand. It was mentioned not to put the kick drum through a pair of Compacts. I have and can do this with ease. However, it does use some cleverness. I am using a ddrum trigger Mic with an Alesis DM5 drum module. It isn't super low and I can still hear it in the upper section of the Compacts. But, it is nice and at times I need to turn the.kick down. As far as running it through the T1 directly, it hasn't been done with either of my kick...Read More...

sweet! thanks again for all the information. take care, joeyRead More...

Not to add to your work load but don't forget about heating and air.Read More...

Decision made...sold the M8 on eBay just now. It cost me about $80 to try it out after eBay/Paypal fees, about 20%, and that's reasonable. Two reasons I sold it: 1) Not enough headroom 2) M8 is not built-for-the-road I could have bought speaker grills, but then, how to protect the switches and pots on the rear of the sub. Just not worth, the hassle to keep the M8 safe, and the expense for the limited amount of added sub bass. No question that the M8 is worthy for DJ uses, just not for this...Read More...
