Pro Production: The Wide World Of Road Cases
Craig Leerman
06/03/13 07:53 AM,

And in addition to the obvious purpose of protecting equipment from damage, they also serve other important functions, including helping to organize, inventory, store, transport and set up a systems.

Alan Hamilton
05/16/13 05:44 PM,
When first starting out in audio, a newcomer will hear terms that may seem like a whole new language. These terms are very common to hear in arenas, union halls, theatres, and similar venues. While not so common in clubs, even there you can hear some of these terms used by the seasoned veterans of the business. This would be particularly true of clubs that work with regional and national touring acts. You can expect to hear experienced production people…
