Are you now or have you ever been interested in how a digital console can rock your analog world?  This very special seminar will answer many questions and provide insight in a collegial atmosphere.

 

The first half of our session will focus on the basic functionality and operation of three of the industries more popular digital console brands (Yamaha PM5D, Digidesign Venue and Digico SD9).

 

Our host, Clive Alcock, will focus on the basic similarities in operation and functionality of these three digital consoles used frequently in theatre productions. Clive is currently mixing FOH for Diana Krall and Loreena McKennitt.  He has extensive knowledge of theatre systems from his background in systems design and installations in many western Canadian theatres.

 

The second half of the session will offer attendees the opportunity to explore one or more of the consoles on a “hands on basis”.  Panel guests will be available to offer training and show specific functions, on each of the three consoles.
