Terry Nuedorf has been performing Front of House mixing duties for Brian Doerksen, a Christian artist frequently touring Canada. He uses Roland Systems Group’s V Mixer digital mixing system.

“Every time I plug a musician into this console,” explained Nuedorf, “I have to deal with all sorts of unexpected things: compliments, questions about why things sound better, what’s different, ‘Why can’t we always sound this way,’ ‘That wee cable is a snake?’, etc. That’s the only time-consuming thing about this console – talking to everyone about it!”

“When I finally get to actually sit down and mix with it, I find it to be fast, full sounding, accurate and very responsive when making adjustments. The musicians have also been noticing this as well, and are really loving the sounds in their in-ear mixes.

“The digital patch bay feature allowing channel splitting and input routing recallable via scene recall really expands what we can do on stage with multiple inputs on a song by song basis and also makes interfacing the Aviom system a complete breeze.

“I have found that the V-Mixing system does many thing that larger digital consoles do, and some things that they can’t – like come with you onto a flight to the next show, so the next show can be as easy as the one last night was!”

I front a country band. I have a book full of my lyrics.

I want to get rid of the book and use a laptop to veiw my lyrics.

I don't won't to buy a teleprompter. I only want to be able to load my song lyrics and veiw them in the order I choose.

All the explanations are so complicated. Is there not a way to do this a simpler way.
