I have nothing much to add here, other than that I have to stand up and peer at the screen
every time I want to tweak something or search for a registration outdoors.
And that is during early evening, when strong direct sunlight has faded away.
I used to be able to tweak EQ, effects, channel volume etc on the fly while playing live
with my T3, then saving those settings. Resulting in optimal settings for me.
All because of the tilt screen, which was a huge help for getting a rich fat
sound that was neither too muddy, nor too bright.
I once tried to adjust the compressor settings while playing in a well lit hall and it almost
blew my head off, and made the audience jump with fright as the volume shot up to max.
Because a slight touch of the screen can make the volume jump one way or another.
I never tried that again, but I had a slightly different but similar experience when I tried to
tweak the low frequency on the drums.
It would be even more dangerous to attempt any tweaking on an illegible screen.
I will now be playing outdoors 3 times a week, till September 15th. The rest of the
weekly gigs will thankfully be indoors.
I will be playing blind, so to speak, when I'm outdoors, or get up and peer at the screen
every time I need to see something.
I know others have suggested capes and pieces of cardboard, but It would be unthinkable
for me, or anyone else for that matter, to go to work all dressed up in a nice suit
and expensive instruments and then attach pieces of cardboard to those instruments,
especially in a 5 star hotel.
Best Regards.
Abby.
