Well the home town LA and Oakland shows are done and all seemed to run well. Surreal to be surrounded by so many long time friends immersed in excitement.
Some cool stuff happening with the SoundTools products and slowly but surely filling out the product line.
The Switcher: A 3 in 1 out XLR switcher. On Chili Peppers tour we use one, with Anthony's main vocal mic on channel A, a spare mic on channel B and a wireless mic on channel C. Anthony can grab any of the three mics and our monitor engineer can switch to it instantly for both monitors and FOH. The mic of choice just shows up in my main vocal channel. No more of that ClearCom calling and warning of a mic switch. Plus, all three mics show up in my already EQ'ed channel. It is totally the best way to deal with mic switching
The Swapper: Same as the Mic Switcher but it is a 2 in 2 out unit that allows you to preview the spare mic before switching to it or test the mic on another board channel after switching from it.
Both units work with mic level or line level and can be used for a wide variety of other A/B and switching applications. Plus the tubular housing fits in a mic clip.
1/4" Sniffer/Sender: Same as the XLR Rat Sniffer/Sender units except it is 1/4" TRS. These 2 piece units allow the testing of 1/4" tip/sleeve and tip/ring/sleeve lines and you do not need to have both cable ends in the same location. Plus they can be used in conjunction with the XLR Sniffer/sender units
More products to come soon.
In seminar world I took a break on the last run to regroup a bit with the exception of Tampere Finland which went really well. Thank you Pauli! So now, Kim and I are back on track with the most adventurous seminar schedule yet. We have moved the sessions to days off in the evening instead of show days to reduce the stress and potential overlap with gig issues. If you are interested, shoot an email to seminar@ratsound.com and see you soon.

The bicycle-school-bus is just awesome! But in one way I was just thinking about it's safety measures for school going kids. But I am sure kids will love this indeed.
