Every once in a while folks throw out ideas that they envision in the future....
In this thread, let's share on any topic related to live sound.... what do you think will happen, or what ideas do you have that perhaps technology has yet to make possible?
Here's one - I foresee everything going almost completely wireless within a guesstimate of about 15 years. No more signal cables, starting with mics and consoles. Already one company is integrating wireless into their mixers via a USB port on the channel strip to plug in a USB wireless mic adapter. This is just the start....
I also foresee consoles becoming much more modular, to the point that they can be very highly customized to the application.
I also foresee increased use of touchscreen devices coupled with "haptic feedback" (the tech that allows you to feel dynamic texture on a touchscreen), I think as haptic tech advances that this will be huge.
What do you see in your crystal ball? Tim & JR are pros when it comes to sharing thoughts about this....
So how 'bout it? What's gonna happen, and what do you hope will happen....
