****Oddly, what has spoiled me is the following:
- Yamaha EAD10
- Custom Sensiphonics ear plugs
- Rock & Roller R8 cart
The EAD10 because it reduces what I need to bring to wedding band gigs, where space is tight, and also allows me to have a lower profile setup. At home, being able to not have to setup all my mics, do a video/audio edit for a video, has made life easier as well. And it has a click in there!
The ear plugs because of the fact that I like being able to hear things. Now, when in louder areas, my ears get super sensitive to not having them, so I carry the throw away 12 dollar ones, as a back up, but they are not as good as my custom ones.
The rock and roller cart has spoiled me, even with one or two gigs I cannot use it, I realize how much easier my load-ins are with the cart. After a 5 hour wedding, being able to roll my stuff out, as opposed to take 3-4 trips, carrying my stuff, has made my "day after" situations significantly easier.
****This is all pre-pandemic, when there were these things called "gigs". It was weird. people would get together, play the same song at the same time, sometimes they would improvise, and people would listen and even clap if the performance was deemed acceptable. It was crazy!
