Jeremy Carter 03/01/12 08:44 AM,This article is provided by Jeremy Carter. I’m not big on physical security for audio systems. Locked sound rooms and doors. Locking rack cabinets. Security Torx screwheads. Warning signage and sticky tape threats (Do not touch this knob!). And we’ve all seen the locking rolltop desk that covers the entire sound system. Why do folks do this? In a word – Fear. Fear of damage. Fear of loss of control. Fear of the unknown (if someone twiddles with the… View this story

Mike Sessler 02/17/12 03:19 PM,This article is provided by ChurchTechArts. I’ve had several people ask me about my vocal effects lately, so I thought I’d write a post about it.
