For Those Who Watched NASCAR Daytona 500..

Just so you guys know who I am and What I do......

IF you saw the Pre Race Stuff...
National Anthem with the Chick from Black Eyed Peas....
Bon Jovi 3 Songs.....

I am responsible for the Audio that happened...
I was there for 2 weeks of setup and rehearsals...
just got back tonight...

but what you heard on TV....I was responsible for making it sound good...
I was also responsible for making it sound good to the crowd at the track..

we had 136 JBL Vertec series Speakers making sound to please all the people on the main stretch :)

and when he was done playing we had 6 minutes to clear everything off the track....we got it done in 5min 16seconds ;)
NASCAR people were happy


anyways....thats who I am and what I do....

Badass dude. I have been a huge Nascar fan long before it became "popular".
So what happened to my invitation????



-Ken

Oh, watch out Scott, Ken is going to kick some butt to get front stretch tickets. ;)

Although I did not watch the 500, that is very cool to hear. I mainly will keep an eye on IROC. :) Who you rooting for Kenny? :)

Thats sweet, unfortunatly I missed the first of the race, so I didnt see that. Maybe next week.

I'm pretty sure I told you I was going togo do the daytona 500....
or maybe it was keith....
LOL...
either way I asked somebody if you guys wanted me to wear a HP Tuners T-shirt...

it was 2 weeks of 14+hrs per day.....and little sleep....

so thats why it sounded so bad? haha jk man thats awesome.

i used to be a diehard fan but since Earnhardt died and all the dumb ass rules, i could care less. i do like driving my car around charlotte motor speedway though :)

good thing for my neighbor, he just changed over to jimmy johnson changing front tires for him, nice to see him finally get back with a winning team.

do you ever come out here to LMS and set up? if u do let me know i live a mile from the track

I know we have something coming up later in the season...but I dont know if I'm on the crew call for that or not...

Ususally I'm out on tour with somebody

too bad you couldn't make her sound good.. :eek:

actually I thought she did a descent job

Yeah I was sitting 20 rows back from the entrance to the pits. The JBL's were definitely doing their job.....

sorry if the instrumental side of it sounded like crap..it was just premade tracks....the bands amps werent even on...they were just air guitaring adn the drummer was beating away to play along to look good.LOL

the instrumental side was tracks that kind of sounded like ass...
even the bon jovi tour manager guy didnt know why the hell the record label sent that....it just wasnt as good as it could have and should have been

but I made the blend of the vocals and those tracks as good as I possibly could....

Very cool!!!

I thought about going that route for my career, but I decided on more of an electronics field. I have been working at Lucent Technologies for the past 9 years.

I am into home/car stereos and have a good ear for sound. I set up my stereos with a RTA.

you would probably love the complexity of the tools I use..
typically I use SIA Smaart live to do time and phase alignment of drivers..and then for reference of final EQ
there is also a program called spectraLab that I use for some other reasons as well....

its a lot more work than just an RTA in my world...
