James Cadwallader 03/20/09 12:21 PM,A few years ago, I was given tickets to a concert at the local arena. It was a co-headlining show where one act played, then the other, ending with both acts playing together. Being the supreme el cheapo, I eagerly accepted the tickets and acted like Romeo when informing my wife that I was taking her out. We arrived early and naturally I took stock of the audio setup. Each act had its own reinforcement system complete with separate FOH,… View this story

Greg DeTogne 03/19/09 01:42 PM, 0 CommentsHope Community Church began worship services in 1994 with about 30 people in attendance.

Barry Rudolph 03/18/09 01:02 PM, 1 CommentMy DAW desktop surface is more crowded than ever—-and I’m loving it! I just added the new Novation Nocturn Plug-in Controller to my small army of DAW accessories. As DAW plug-ins become more complex and intense, their GUIs (graphical user interface) have become more jam packed with more parameter controls than ever! And in order to keep their GUI’s screen size to a minimum, the controls and buttons keep getting smaller and smaller. Even though I get new glasses often,… View this story
