Live Sound with 896 an PowerBook

Post by FRIAS »

Hello. I have a jazz concert the 12th of november and I want to use the Motu 896 an my powerbook to mix the concert. The group: 1 voice, a jazz guitar, an acoustic piano, an acoustic bass, a trumpet, alto saxophone and tenor saxofon. My question is; ¿It`s possible to do the live sound of this concert with my PowerBook, 896, my microphones and the HK "lucas" ?

Thank You.

HK Lucas???

Yes it is possible to do live sound that way.

I'd recommend a low lateny plugin like Track Plug for your EQ/Comp Gate Needs.

I;d do an outboard 1/3- Octave pre for your room eq & tuning needs.

As Far as monitors, What program are you using???

What is the HK Lucas? Not familiar.

If you are using DP, make 4 aux sends routed to specific outputs for your 4 monitor mixes. Strap a simple EQ for basic shaping on each band.

I know there is a simple 2/3 or 1/3 octave EQ Plugin out there, i;d definitely use one for the aux sends for eq control or use outboard EQ's for tuning your monitors.

Hello and thanks for your answer, it's very iseful for me.
Sorry, I use DP 4.12. HK Lucas is a 600w sound equipment for live sound that have two little loudspeakers an other very great for the ultra low frequencies. HK is a german sound company that make great products for live sound.

Thank you very much for your help.

P.D.: I think that I'll need your help more times. Excuse me my language mistakes, I'm learning now.
