As of yet I have not received a return call from Yamaha tech support... We sent out two MY4-DA cards out to meet an M7 that we have on the road, however installing both results in every console output squealing. Yamaha's website says that you can use two of them together without issue. Ideas?

Calling all hands/ riggers in the St Charles/ Chicago area. One of our close associates, Scott de Villers from Pulse lighting got shortsticked for a load out tomorrow evening. I do not know all of the details at this point, but I do know that the show went out with 64 moving heads and all of the...

As Asbury Audio moves further and further into overall production, I now have the need for a decent CAD/ drafting program. It does not need to be all that fancy, but I do need the ability to do scaled drawings, stage and rigging plots, lighting/ truss layout, etc. I would prefer that the...

We weren't close by any means, but in my years of working in music (including many concerts i recorded for his show) and of course through WHY Hunger, I got to know Pete pretty well. Rock on, my friend. Tell Harry I said hello. Pete Fornatale.com - Home

Asbury Park Convention Hall, most associated with a certain "local" artist, hosted Led Zeppelin the weekend of Woodstock. Rumor has it Moe Septee outbid the Woodstock promoters to get them. Joe Cocker opened.

Not sure what the best feature is, the lack of any ground, the 20a outlets on 40a breakers, or the "certified" electrician that built it. Naw, I think it is that bonus set of rubber gloves...

If this comes off too much like a press release, my apologies, but I'm damn proud of what my crew and I have accomplished: http://fohonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5623&Itemid=129 Despite placing our bets on some " then unknowns" (ADR Audio, APB Dynasonics,, very early...

A sad day here in Asbury Park indeed....

I need a recommendation for a video projector. It will not actually be used outdoors, but it will definitely exposed to moist, humid conditions, and the full gamut of temperature swing. Super high resolution will not be necessary as the unit will mostly be used for still images, however I am...
