PSW Staff 01/31/12 09:41 AM,Earlier this year, the staff of Milwaukee’s Northern Lights Theater at Potawatomi Bingo Casino decided to embark on a console upgrade in its intimate, 500-seat theater. Production manager Jamie Cobb called upon Kerry Miller and the integration team at Clearwing Productions to help. Wanting to upgrade the sound and make the move to digital, the group collaborated on selecting a DiGiCo SD10 and SD Rack at FOH—handling the basic room feeds (L, R, balcony, and subs), hearing assist, green room… View this story

Old Soundman 01/25/12 04:20 PM,Old Soundman, Yes, Stip! I occasionally run sound for a band that tends to play local hole-in-the-wall venues. Okay, we feel sorry for you, now move on! The “stage” for the band is always in one of 2 places: in a nice boomy corner, or, better yet, right in front of that brick or paneled wall. These are the times that try men’s souls! I guess you might be a female, so no offense intended. I don’t know what “Stip”… View this story

Kevin Young 01/23/12 08:12 PM,Beyond technical expertise and experience, Dave Natale stresses that one of the most important qualities a front of house mixer should possess is knowing how to deal with people. “Now, anybody who knows me and reads that will say, ‘Yeah. Your people skills… Great,” he laughs, admitting that he can be blunt with co-workers at times, but adding that talking around a problem doesn’t help anyone. “You have to tell people straight up what’s going on.” Natale’s ability to strip… View this story

Craig Leerman 01/16/12 02:21 PM,There are many “sub-groups” among pro audio folks, with two of the primary groups being live and recording. But live mix engineers are now being tasked with interfacing recording systems and recording shows directly, whereas in the past we were usually only asked to supply an analog split off the snake for a separate recording company. With recording increasingly becoming a regular part of our job description, let’s take a look at some of the ways to record live events,… View this story

Greg DeTogne 01/16/12 12:43 PM,Life is a process of continual learning, from cradle to grave. Approach it any differently, and it stops. This is certainly the mantra of Rob “Cubby” Colby, an industry vet with so much listed on his professional resume that it’s an order of magnitude easier to list who he hasn’t worked for as opposed to who he has. Indeed, from Kansas to Prince and among a legion of others in between, countless artists have relied on Colby to manage either… View this story

Peter Janis 01/16/12 09:20 AM,The majority of electric guitar players will tell you that they much prefer the sound of “hard-wired” guitars versus going wireless. When you “radio” a signal, there is not only a sense of disconnect, but the tone never seems quite right. I noticed this years ago when testing a guitar splitter. One of our engineers sent me a prototype, and after a few minutes of testing, I called him up and said that it worked well but was not quite… View this story
