My DM2000 Rig
« Thread Started on Sept 20, 2004, 11:20pm »

Hi everyone

I thought I'd start out this forum by telling you guys what I've been doing lately with my DM2000. I just finished mixing FOH and multitracking the Sweet Harmony Touring Revue featuring Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, Gillian Welch and Buddy Miller. The touring gear featured 2 DM2000s, one at FOH and one for monitors. Both consoles were expanded to 32 mic ins using ATI 8MX2 8 channel mic preamps.

The FOH console was connected to an Alesis HD24 hard disc recorder via 2 MY16AT Lightpipe cards with some signals being bussed down using groups. An Alesis ML9600 Masterlink was connected to Digital 2-track I/O 2 for 2 track recording and playback.

I have Dig 2-track out 1 feeding an Apogee PSX100 D/A which, in turn, feeds an Empirical Labs EL-7 Fatso Jr. which I use for bus compression, drive and to warm things up a bit. This main out is fed by matrix 1, with other matrixes controlling various zones via the omni-outs.

I love my rig. It's small, light , flexible, and sounds like a million bucks.

Hi Dean, I like your setup. We just installed a system like this (DM-2000, HD24, ML9600) in our contempory worhsip space at church. I am still learning the board (Lots of fun, moments of complete terror). One thing I would like to do is use the DM-2000 to control the HD24. Are you doing this ?? Can you point me to some doc. that may help.

Take care

Steve

Hi Steve

No, I'm not currently controlling the HD24 from the Dm2K basically because during a 2 1/2 hr show there is more than ample opportunity to reach for something and inadvertantly hit the transport panel. This happened during a rehearsal and I immediately unhooked the midi. I found it safer, in a live situation, to simply reach down and hit play/rec on the HD24.

Do setup the control however is very simple. Just hook up your midi in and out. Set up your device ID numbers. I seem to remember that yamaha and alesis start with different numbers. One of them start with 0 and one of them start with 1. I'm not at my console currently and can't remember which. Set up transport control to MTR and rock on. It's pretty much all in the manual except the ID number thing. Hope this helps. Let me know.

Dean

Hi Dean,

My rig is a bit simpler. I am using my DM2k with a USB link to my PC that was custom built by one of my crew (Ryan). Using Yamaha's Studio Manager with N-Track and Cubase and MIDI software Ryan wrote for me to run WinAmp via the DM2k's transport controls. I am using this rig at my regular job at a performing arts theater where I am Technical Director but also use it for outside private contracts I do. I also have the Studio Master software on my home computer so I can do I/O and effects patches as well as channel soft patches and labels in advance of up coming shows... in the comfort of my TV room. I was first introduced to the DM2k by Kathy Matea's FOH guy as they also used them for FOH and monitor world.
