I've have owned an X32 since late August, and mixed 4 good sized musicals, 6 weddings and 27 bands, and even linked two of them together for a series of live radio broadcasts. Not a single failure. This board is a real workhorse. It links beautifully with Qlab. It replaced my analogue mixer...

I just got one an have it installed in our theatre. It works better than expected. It actually replaced several pieces of equipment since QLab can interface directly with the desk over Firewire. It is powerful enough for a medium sized musical, but I wouldn't recommend it if you have to run 19...

We are talking about the full blown structural. I have complete freedom, as long as I follow code, and I will be hiring a crew to come in and do the installation. The only experience I have so far with this sort of thing is the few installations I have worked on with brand new buildings. This...

So, this was a thread about something useful, and it has turned into a completely different thread about something equally useful, which is cool. I think it is important to take note that royalties, copyright, fair use, and licencing are all topics where ignorance is the opposite of bliss. The...

I am going to be completely revamping a 200 seat black box and I would like to install a catwalk system this summer since all of our electrics will be down anyhow. My question is to those of you who have installed catwalks and what your experiences have been. What would you do differently...

The company that installed the soundsystem decided to go with mackie powered drivers, so I know the hum can't be inbetween the amp and the driver. As far as I can tell the hum is entering between the mixer and the mackies. Yes we use DI boxes, and it seems to be worse in our monitors which get...

So all of the gournds in the building are conncected? That is what I thought. If I were to trace all of the electrical compnonants to find that the dimmers were themselves the problem, would my prevous idea of a seccond powerline comming into the building possibly solve this problem? Or would...

Thank you for the info. Now when you talk about the "same ground rod as the sound system" what do you mean? How does one know how many ground rods are connected to a circuit, and how does one determine which ground rod is with which ciruit? I was under the impression that a building would...

Wow, what a setup! So basicaly you are using the firepod for imput and the Audigy for output? It makes sense to have in and out on seperate busses. Where did you end up purchasing all of this equipment? And what are you recording onto, the computer's hard drive? Internal or external? Are...

Here's the situation: My theater has 8 dimmer-packs (AS-42L http://www.lightronics.com ) each on a 20 amp circuit (but we never have a tripping issue). All of the 20 amp circuits are grouped together on a 100 amp circuit breaker. Our sound system is routed through three 20 amp circuit...

Really? Which firepod do you have? Do you have a url? I tried looking it up and the ones I saw only had two mic inputs too. I actually use the edirol in the opposite direction. I've got a seccond sound card installed in my G4 so I have 7 outputs on that plus the two chanels on the...

Here you go Peter, they changed name. http://www.edirol.com/products/info/m100fx.html The older 110fx was the same exact thing but needed a firmware update to be compatable with core audio. It would be great if it was firewire rather than usb, but few prosumers need more, and it would greatly...

Peter, check out the edirol 110fx mixer. It is a fully analog 10 chanel mixer with an 11th USB in/out chanel. I use one and I love it. It lists for about $500 american but I found it for $200 at the accademic supper store on line. http://www.academicsuperstore.com

Well there is the U, but I don't know anything first hand. Agsberg College is pretty nice. Small but has a nice theater department. Great people. I was accepted to their department as an actor. Did a couple of workshops as part of the application procces. I never didn't end up picking...

The sad thing is that I know people who could really use this one. I think it is a waste of perfectly good dmx cable, but hey, it'd be pretty funny to watch!
