[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 22939, member: 67"] Re: More StudioLive surprises. :( A small part of me wants to gloat, but the rest of me says 'that sucks.' I'd come late to the digital console party and was skeptical about creating a single point of failure. I free lanced a couple of shows on a provided TT24. The desk was easy to use, the PC software worked but the desk quickly developed a bi-polar personality... shit quit working, then would work. That didn't exactly leave a warm, fuzzy feeling. About that time I bought an original, silver-face 01v with a MY4DA card for $450 on ebay. Played with it in the shop, it sat for 6 months or so before it did a gig. I took the manual and a backup analog mixer; used the former but not the latter. Haven't looked back. We'd been a Yamaha analog shop and until a couple weeks ago, were 100% Yamaha digital. Serious console abuse, Exhibit "oh shit"... last century, I was working as a hand on local promoter's Jefferson Starship/Outfield show. Sound On Stage with Morpheus Lights (Pan Command v1). Monitor desk was a Gamble, and I asked the SOS tech about it. He invited me to follow him up the truck ramp to the desk. About that time the downstage truss was going up... and came down. Temporary outdoor stage in a baseball stadium, scaffolding for structure sl/sr. The downstage left head block across the scaff frames wasn't correctly anchored, and when pulled at a slight angle as the truss neared trim, it came off. The head block swung down and landed on the Gamble. IIRC they lost 6 input and 2 output strips but it otherwise functioned. Had we been up that ramp a little quicker, they'd have lost us. - topic swerve This was the crystallizing moment about rigging for me. It's about killing people or not killing people. /topic swerve I hope there's a firmware fix for Presonus issues. Other than the silly AC88 (?) dynamics unit, they've made some unique products that have had better maiden voyages than the SL. Have fun, good luck. Tim Mc [/QUOTE]
