Partly to counter all the complaints and to highlight good experiences I thought there ought to be discussions or at least blogs of things going right.
Last Tuesday, I provided sound for my political party's caucus. (That's what we do in Colorado.) It was the first time that I actually used my iphone and My Fader program. I had set up a fairly tight compressor on the output. The person walking us through the needed procedures was a bit mic shy. This is a political event and politicians are an unpredictable bunch. When the politician who is running for Congressional District 6 came in to talk to us for a bit, he's not mic shy at all. Without the compressor it would have been too loud. (He's been on my systems in the past multiple times.)
Just a note about My Fader on the iphone. Pretty small screen, I'd rather use it on an ipod mini. Worked fine, but it also looked like the phone takes a serious power drain. I never shut the auto turn off off on the phone like I do with the ipad. Before the caucus started, I got an incoming phone call from my Wife. (I never ignore calls from her.) that was a bad experience. In the future I'll just call them back after shutting My Fader off.
Good experience. Was using EV ZXA1 pole mounted speakers. (With a DriveRack PX between the mixer and speakers.) No feedback issues. About 30 people attended from numerous precincts. (I do a lot of political functions.)
