We tested the demo of Alpha-Labs De-Feedback plugin and were pretty impressed with the results in the shop. So much so that we just had to buy the license. With a Macbook Pro running an M5Pro chip, we've got 12 instances running at 64 samples via USB to the DM7. This is with VST Rack Pro/VST3 plugin version. We've also got Q-Lab AND Spotify running simultaneously on separate outputs and it appears to be stable. See you at an event this summer!

PsycheFanCisco event at Marriott Marquis in the Yerba Buena ballroom. Six of the Nexo P15 covered the sold-out crowd (2200 seats) with crystal clear audio. We provided the lighting and video for this one, too.

After spending the weekend outdoors under the beautiful sunshine I realized how gawd-awful the screen on the DM3 is in the sun. This is a modern mixer? Looks like there was a glaring (pun intended) screen issue that was overlooked by Yamaha.
Went down to Michael's and got a piece of black corrugated plastic and made a custom sun shroud with gaff tape hinges for under six bucks. Complete with cooling fan vents! It folds up and fits into the console lid for stowage. Works great in the shop, we'll see how it looks under the sun.

Found this more than a little bit informative and entertaining.

Geek stuff.

Last week, I was doing a lecture about the basics of audio and I happened to mention one of the rules of thumb that we use in loudspeaker development: If you have a single loudspeaker driver and yo…

We are proud to announce a new addition to the family! The Yamaha DM7-EX, in stock and show ready, including opticalcon quad fiber ports. Don't worry, we still have our trusty CL5, QL5, QL1, and DM3 inventory. I think we still have a fully functional M7CL around here somewhere, too! Can you tell we like Yamaha consoles?
