It is with a heavy hand and heart I sit to write this. I am closing VanClan Sound. I have been dealing with a lot of physical pain and it will no longer take a back seat to my adventures in life. Doing sound is moving a lot of equipment in a short time for some not forgiving people, that’s the job. When I built VanClan Sound I knew this day would come and was hoping to get a few more years at it then I have. But at some point the pain is just not worth it. I can’t lift heavy loads anymore without resulting pain afterwards or hand cramps. I have been masking these over the last couple of years and it has really worn me down. Only those close to me know some of my struggles (and yes my doctors know all too well). On advice from my family I am quitting my business VanClan Sound. I will be doing some sound for good friends and some non-profits over time. But the days are over for me in the official sound business. I will truly miss it. Thanks to all that have supported me over the years, it was a great run.

The intent is to bring you live, inside the band session. Able to chat directly with the members, in between songs. The band has a big screen watching all the chats come in, live. Unedited and live, anything could happen.

Well looks we have the basic system running. A Mac running OBS software using a Mackie Onyx A/D interface. I have tested Twitch and Facebook Live successfully. The focus will be on Facebook Live at the moment.

Indoor gig, mixing on the IPad

Ok we are back. Thanks to the current social distancing I have been asked to start internet streaming of musicians. Wow, this reminds me of some of my days in HP. Stay tuned as I will be testing the quality as I progress. You will see a live link pop up, click on it and you will be connected. Enjoy!

Definitely the highlight of the Show, https://www.facebook.com/loveandtheft/

These guys were simply fantastic. Great musicians and great people. They were so grateful to those around them. Their talent is undeniable, you can't believe how good they really are. Spent 3 minutes in a private sound chat with them, 30 second sound check. Then they came out and killed it for 80 minutes. Great working with these folks, top notch entertainers with great personalities.

Kelsey Bales Music

Had a great time in Sisters doing sound. Thursday was a great day but hard on the sound guy. Fortunately everything went without a hitch. The concert started with https://www.facebook.com/Kelseybalesmusic/

Kelsey brings energy and heart to each song. From Honky Tonk to Rock & Roll, her voice transforms and brings the crowd to life. This band is a must see!

Had a great time at the Crawfish Boil today. Mixed sound for Rudy and the boys from Out on Bail. They had live crawdads and cooked them on the spot. Plenty of micro brews on tap and some great music to boot. The new system sounds great. Looking forward to next year!

Hey got a call yesterday to do a RAP concert. Coming in June at the Corvallis Elks they said. Alright then, subwoofers and lasers it is.

Local gig Front street bar in Albany. Here is a quick clip. No stage, no acoustic tiles, and irregular shaped room. These gigs are the hardest I have to work. There is virtually no sound absorption here and mostly reflections. I had to ride the controls all night to keep the sound in check. Fortunately I must of done a good job because I got many compliments. Great food, great hosts.

Linn County Sheriff's Office

Being in the sound business you get to interact with public constables as part of the job. They usually show up when it is too loud for someone. In town there are strict ordinances for sound and most need a permit. Had a chat with Linn County Sheriff tonight. As always we work with all of the police and sheriffs and strive for mutual solution during these times. Normally we just turn it down. All of the Linn County folks have been great to work with.
