Ha ha, yes this auto spell corrector can do some havoc from time to time! :)

Actually had a funny one happen the other day while talking to my wife.
I was texting her, explaining that the dog was sick. Somewhere in the conversation, she repeated the line that the dog was sick, and "sick" got spell corrected to "dick". In the context it ended up in the sentence it was hilarious. Can't post it here though, the conversation went downhill too fast and is not family friendly.

Very sorry to hear about that. Dogs are wonderful true loving friends.
I saw a picture of your dog in the Audiobus forum.

Yeah, that's Sonny. He has been my best friend since early last year, when we brought him home as a pup. That dog has been by my side through all this goofiness with my back injury, and has actually saved my life by being there. The depression caused by being stuck flat on my back for so many months left me in a really bad place, and Sonny has always been there, lifting my mood when needed, and bringing me things when I ask.

What happened to Sonny is the price you pay for being friendly... :D
 
So here's a question for the group.

I'm working on figuring out my final signal chain, and the one thing I'm missing is a quality DI for the final link to the PA.

What's everyone using? Are you going bass -> iOS device -> PA/Monitoring device, or are you adding a DI box to the end of the chain to match all the levels?
 
Right into the main mixer, no DI box unless I use my Sansamps.
That was when I didn't use IEM. Today I might use a mini mixer to control levels into the main mixer and my IEM. I send only my bass signal to IEM.
But with the iTrack I would be able to hear myself directly from the headphone out and send the rest to the main mixer through the line out.
 
I always go to a DI box to travel around 70 feet on a microphone cable into the soundboard xlr input which then goes out to the separate amps for mains and subs and monitors for the singers and to the aviom system. If I wanted I could also just plug my headphone directly to the back of the art for just me (what I'm sending before it goes DI) or the iPad headphone out.

Going through DI is probably the best option specially if you stand some distance from the main board . Which DI do you use ?

heres a shocker...... it's also an ART. ;)
My personal DI I bought long ago is a Horizon-SL-1-Straightline-Passive Direct Box that i dont even know where it is right now come to think of it. My brother has probably taken it over and is a part of the "studio" right now but.... the one i use all the time that the church provided is an...
ART Z direct
Invalid Link Removed $25
it's the passive box its actually better than mine in the sense that there are a few extras like a 0db and -20db selector switch
a 30Hz and below cut filter switch and a phase switch, added to the usual just a ground lift on mine.
