[QUOTE="Timo Ulkuniemi, post: 73041, member: 1978"] Re: Todays Gig Howdy I remeber when I as working at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki around 1975...... One monday service men came in studio A only to find, that there was traces of chocolate on Studer mixing console. It turned out, that friday night on session someone had left his cocoa-cup on meterbridge ( on Studer 189 it was still horizontal & vertical - nothing slanted...) and then someone tossed it on channels....... They did not call anyone, but simply tried to wipe it off with paper towels..... Substantial propotion of cocoa made its way into modules through holes in top panel - the service department spent the whole week just cleaning up four channels - there was still some minor issues left after that. I am SO GLAD I was NOT there when it happened - I know who it was ( so does service department ) , but hey - Santa Claus is coming and we want to be nice...... AND - if anything liquid goes into mixer - I definitely wish it would be a mixer with individual channel strips instead of X32 type construction - easy to pull the bad ones out and keep on working with the rest - X32..... well - just get another, if the liquid hits the board with processor - same goes with any digital console. p.s. Tomorrow will be first gig with S16 and XiControl - three bands - house is sold out two weeks ago - fifties rock - I am going to set up my laptop for recording with FIWI as well just for experiment - really looking forward to this.
