Hi,
First, a little background. Ten years ago, while I was doing my Sound design program, I remember being introduced to the 1st version of Protools and while a debate was raging among us students about the "ethical aspects" of editing a mix (a debate long obsolete...), I was impressed and excited to see where DSP could take us...
So after graduation, I became more of a live sound engineer, simply because I like the performance aspect (and the travelling).
Only a few years ago did I decide to go back to Studioland and got myself a PT 6.1 LE 002R rig and one day it dawned on me that it would be great to use a 1176 on the drum bus live. After much reading on the DUC, I started incorporating the strengths of DSP in live situations and its been great! I can create 8 inserts with my 002R so if I find myself in a venue with lesser quality outboard (remember, I work mostly in Canada) well, how about a Fairchild on the voxes? Just keep your buffer at 128...
In brief, The best of both worlds. Quality and portability. I think its great that Digi crosses over to livesound and would like to know how can one participate? Is there training available or how can one become a Venue operator? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work.
Thanks,
