Technically there are many people who buy perfectly legit copies of Mac OSX to run on "Hackintoshes". This whole area is a massive grey area as far as legality goes. A quick google will bring up the main websites that can help you if you decide to go down that route. Otherwise, there is no way...

Whilst I want a covers it all book, I know the chances are slim or poorly implemented, I want to grasp more of the basics and build upon it! I think I will be getting the Yammaha book as a point of reference to study, its always nice to know the substance of the product you are using after all.

Cheers chaps I will check them all out! The Yamaha seems the way to go, but I must admit I was hoping for something a little more colourful! I'm just after a good grasp of the fundamentals and then building a little more. Thanks guys!

Well, I'm usually more of a lampy so'n'so, but the time has come and I need to learn more about sound. Whilst I know some basic stuff, I would like a book that covers items, descriptions uses, going from basic to slightly more advanced. Not talking arena P.A's but something with live mixing...

I like my Wingnutspanner: Tester:

Well sorry for the lack of responses its been a busy few weeks. The interview was ok, a small lighting setup, followed by setting up a basic P.A. with some trouble shooting. I didn't get the job but the experience was great, and I was open and honest about my knowledge including my strengths...

Cheers Dave, at the end of the day they are really nice people and there is still potential casual work out of it, I just want to go in there and show them I have at least tried to do a bit of home work but am willing to take the time to learn. Luckily I know it is an analogue desk otherwise I...

No I'm being completely honest, I have nothing to hide, and have plenty to learn but I'm keen and enthusiastic.

I also would like to ask about a dumb question about monitors am I correct in thinking: Mic>Desk>EQ>AMP>Speakers as a general setup Desk>Aux>EQ>AMP>Monitors as a general setup for monitors? Does this mean then I could raise for example Aux 1 on the Microphone channel and have it send...

Thank you very much Dave! The venue mainly accommodates for small touring productions and school shows. Well that doesn't sound as bad, but its been so long! Im sure I could route it to the desk etc but my only worry is routing it to monitors as I have never used them! I'm also going to...

Well ladies and gentleman I have not long graduated from University, and have an interview for a position of theatre technician in a smallish (400 seater) local venue. As part of my interview process they will be setting a lighting and sound practical assessment. Well lighting is mainly my...

We have got it on a machine at Uni, the open gl is actually a lot better then some of the renders! Focus beams are definitely improved with soft and hard focus. I wouldn't say theres a huge difference between that and 22, library and selections is always improving.

Thanks very much for the link I have just signed up! I was able to create all of the necessary libraries I needed for the show amazingly first time! It all worked well. So thanks very much to everyone.

I thought I would update this, the guides have proved invaluable and the tutorials very clear and concise. As for the tester: OSP CT-04C CABLE TESTER XLR/TRS/RCA/MIDI/SPEAKON/USB/RJ on eBay, also, Parts Accessories, Pro Audio Stage Effects, Electronics (end time 21-Dec-08 21:02:56 GMT)...

Wow that is an amazing resource, and that website is full of useful information, time to sit down and start siving through it all! Thank you:)
