Looking at my 1st gig with my Juno DS88 in April.
I never played KB live so I'm asking around on how to do this simply and efficiently. The venue has a small 4 input board: 2 will be used for mics and 1 each for my guitar KB.
At home, KB goes through an ART TPS II preamp into a Yamaha StagePas 500 console and then to headphones (everything at line level). Sounds good, but gotta keep an eye the gain knob, as to avoir overdriving the piano
.
Playing live, I guess I can carry a preamp (I also have Studio V3, sort of the portable version o the TPS II and has a DI out), but I'm told I could go simpler: KB > passive DI > console (mic level), because the DI balances the signal and won't harm the board.
True dat ? If so, any DI recommendations ? I'm inkling towards Radial DIs, either a Stage Bug-2 (can plug in stereo) or the simple but effective ProDI, but will take a peak at anything else.
Other question... anybody use EQ pedals live ?
Thx,
Mike
