Honestly, the unspoken hero, is your van with a ramp built in. I've loaded, and still load, without one. I'm super envious of it. Give me your van.

Sound Bullet. Took awhile before pulling the trigger on it but being able to ID and diagnose issues so fast has been super helpful.

I saw a keyboard player doing this years ago, and I've never looked back - Bring thick rubber floor mats normally used in your car from Weathertech or ArmorAll. They lay flat over cables on stage or walkways and replace solutions like residue-causing tape and saving your back (and time!). They also protect your car interior from all the equipment.

This is possibly the only “things I wish I got sooner video” I’ve seen that is actually useful.<br><br>Also, seconding the peli case tour video. I always dig those.

There’s one universal truth. Mixing station is best.

I think that these are all great, but I would add a few. <br><br>Fat Ivan door wedge or a cheap rubber door stop. The fat Ivan doesn’t need a flat ground to work, it just attaches to the hinges. <br><br>A switch 57<br><br>Leatherman serge<br><br>A multi bit screwdriver set with security bits. <br><br>A Klein breaker sniffer to find if different outlets are on the same circuit. Also has a tester to see if an outlet has a power problem. <br><br>Eno Double Nest hammock. I have gotten some good sleep in trucks and under stages in that, on long days. <br><br>Anker GaNPrime power bank.

Mixing Station now works with PreSonus Series III mixers too!

The Pro AV2 DI’s other trick is that because it’s a ‘passive’ DI, you can also use it backwards too… so it gets you out of a load of problems! <br><br>The connectors on the input side all link too so you can go in on mini jack, use the XLRs to the mixer, and come out of the jacks to split it elsewhere, as an example!
