Keith Clark 12/16/08 03:55 PM, 1 CommentPardon our dust as we continue to put the finishing touches on the new ProSoundWeb. I’ve been calling this “version 3.0” but as some of our logos through the years show (below), maybe I’m a bit low on the version count. But over the years, this site has evolved in a significant way three different times. There were the startup/formation years, followed by a transition as the site moved to a much more open, flexible format, and now, what you… View this story

Sunday, January 06, 2008Dan Laveglia 01/06/08 10:01 AM, 0 CommentsMy current assignment has found me behind a monitor console once again. It’s been a while since I stage-mixed on a regular basis, so I am enjoying the change of scenery. But this end of the snake presents a very different challenge from a FOH mix, or a system engineering position. Here, the fruits of my labors are not intended for the masses.
