COMPUTER:

We’re using a 2015 15” MacBook Pro to run our audio signal. 16 GB of RAM, 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7, with a 1 TB Flash drive.

We also use an external 1 TB LaCie Rugged Thunderbolt SSD Hard Drive.

A lack of redundancy in our computer setup is concerning. We’re going to stress test the setup extensively before taking it to a gig, however we’d also like to setup a backup audio stream via the MOTU mixer functionality which is housed separate from the computer.

Live audio input feeds can be sent to the PA send, as well as the Re-Amp signals for the Bass and Guitar amplifiers if the computer were to freeze or crash. The hope is to use one of the A/B mute monitor options on the front of the 8 Pre Es. That would give us physical control over the hardwired signal apart from the computer.
