Re: NAMM - report
Karl -- that's a fantastic product.
One feature that might be interesting in something like this is an output on each channel (or at least the first two).
A whole lot of touring acts these days run with computer tracks, and that turns out to be the one common thing all the monitor mixes need. The ability to direct-out the computer track to channels 1&2 of every broadcast unit without breaking out a dozen Y cables or splitters, then feed the individual mixes into 3&4 of each one would be fantastic.
I'm saying this from the performer's perspective too... yes, they can give me a mix during soundcheck, but getting them to fix the ratio between track and myself half-way through a show when everything changes is a pain. Mostly I just give up and deal with it. Being able to do it myself would be fantastic.
...and yeah, the local input for an ambient mic would be a win.
