    Crumpled Paper Cyc

    So the show opens up next week and I wanted to follow up with our conclusions and solution.We decided against the paper idea, as it would be hard to flame proof, hang, and get that large and hold crumples.

    This is what I'm seeing. Does that help?EDIT: I just played around with the patching and the audiofire system settings and the settings on my presonus 24 and I got everything to work. The only thing that is still a problem for me is that I can't have more than 1 stereo output. That kind of...
