Uh, your band is amazing. Liked. Followed. Purchased.

SOLD! I'm making my own all-in-one rack

[roychan]

Its only right you feel proud of your work. Just putting the rig together is tough but charting the music and programming the midi program changes for 3 Hx Stomps must have taken some hard work. Kudos to you Trey

[Bloodywood]

We've got an identical setup except for the HX stomp boxes. We're using the line 6 helix rack that processes both guitars and bass because of its capability of having individual signal chains at the same time. Sweet job with the stomp boxes! The LP 16 is a livesaver

[classicZEPP]

You should do an update on your “All in one” setup

[slickcross]

The x32 is the king! Its the OG! Can't go wrong with an x32!

[gingaduten]

As a sound engineer, if you were to roll in that rack into my venue, I would love you!!!





...Until you rolled in all those cabs 😂

Brilliant. Fuckin absolute Brilliance. Dude, this should be made available to every band as a whole package with tips/instructions verbatim. ABSOLUTELY. Hats off to you my brother and a pint raised in your name for being a genius.

I play with the band Tragacanth from Nederlands. We have something similar, simpler in a way, but more complicated in others. We have an Allen and Heath idr32 mixer, a Kemper, an Atomic 3 and a Line6 bas pod pro, all 3 midi controlable. Backingtracks come from a Macbook pro, together with midi change AND a videotrack for the whole show. We have lyrics videos for all the songs, 2 screens and shortthrow projectors. We do wired inear, in stereo, using 10meter cables taped together with the guitar cable. The mixer has 16 outs, so we don't need splitters, i can do stereo mixes for everybody and send separate guitars, bas, voc and backingtracks to FOH.

Step 1: Be in a band. That's where I failed.

[JosephFacer]

Great video. Having built a few racks like this before, your point about planning it out beforehand can't be stressed enough. I like to make big documents with every single piece of gear I need, every cable I need, and every different type of signal path (power, audio, MIDI, etc.) so that all I have to do is get the gear, make the cables, and wire it up when it comes time to actually build.

[JulianDaniels]

Hey Trey, thank you so much for that video. We're thinking in our band switching to iem and working with a backing track and as I saw that Live Player in your rig my life was saved. That thing really makes your setup easier: you don't need an additional computer with an additional audio interface and a bunch more of cables. And it's midi capable!!! So great! Thank you very much for sharing this.

[wormingnightfall]

Never been so amazed from seeing stage equipment! This setting really seems to translate into a perfect live experience

[rickfeith]

That little rack is GORGEOUS. I absolutely love the automation and MIDI control. Nicely done sir...this kind of setup was not even possible just a decade ago unless you were Metallica or a Rockefeller. 👍👍

[madrigalrogelio]

This video is amazing my band coast n bay now runs a similar setup. That cynamtic audio player is literally a dream for running backtracks. We've invested in a laptop and has always had problems with it. That live player literally takes out the guess work and makes it a plug and play.

[rickbiessman]

Wow. Insane. Having three HX Stomps in the rack and simply having to plug your guitars and bass into the transmitters... that’s nothing short of brilliant. I know Periphery run their shows off of a laptop and have it do all the MIDI switching on their AXE FXs but this is even a level above that.
I have to say though that mono IEM is something I can only shake my head it. I legitimately loathe it and my head always drops when I’m forced to use it.
Thanks so much for taking the time and explaining everything in depth!!! Awesome awesome awesome!

[BBand]

We made pretty much this same video two years ago. Not only that, but you released your version on my birthday haha
main difference for us is that instead of having the sound guy use his own cables into our rack, we have a snake inside our rack and give the sound guy our tails. This way the rack doesn't even need to be on stage, and the sound guy doesn't need to suddenly produce 10 extra cables or unplug his mics and leave them in a corner just to deal with us. For particularly grumpy sound guys, we tag and label his existing cables while they're still in the stage box so he can quickly restore them when we're finished. Most sound guys worth their shit either have already dons this, or have enough spaces in their stage box that it isn't even necessary.

[skylermichael]

Man this is the best all in one rack system video I’ve ever seen. I especially love how you run the HX Stomps with the Cymatic Audio LP 16. I would have never heard about it, and especially never known it could trigger midi changes. I’m looking to do this with my band for vocal effects as well as guitar effects and possibly midi keys and lights if I can make it all work. Great job! Now I’ve got a lot to learn!

[chrisellis]

Excellent build . You should get lacing bars that install in the rack holes for the back. Then velcro your cables to it, it takes the weight off of the connectors.

[GerryTrevino]

Dudes, such a sick video! I was actually just looking into reworking my live rig too. Thank you for this! 🙏🏼
