It's yet another reason why nobody will ever take anything Arny says seriously and why he will always remain the village idiot. Phildo

We're talking knobs not faders dipshit. Desks use linear encoders or regular resistive faders depending on the manufacturer. >While there are many rotary encoders on digital consoles, they are all >rotary controls with knobs that go round and round. Yes, a rotary encoder is a rotary control with a knob that goes round and round. Give that man a biscuit for stating the bloody obvious. Arny, you try your hardest to fool people into thinking you know what you are talking about but all you do is convince everybody you are clueless every time you post. Maybe you should go back to trying to convince everybody that 95% of mixing desks do not have PFL or that the Roland TD12 is mono? Phildo

With a PRO6 alongside it !!! A lot of shows these days you couldn't do with a Pro40. Too many scene changes, fx cues etc. A nice old-fashioned straight-ahead rock band like AC/DC would probably sound better on a board like that but you try doing something like the Madonna tour with it and you'd be struggling. I'm very into the idea of speccing an XL4 for Cape Fear although I'll probably go with an A&H iLive at FOH. Any thoughts as to what you want in monitor world yet? [1] Phildo [1] For those who don't know check out www.capefear.co.uk and follow the links to the myspace or other sites (unless they've got the new website up yet). They're a new band destined for major success with the new single already promised airplay on BBC Radio One (the biggest national station in the UK) and lots of big things lined up for this year . I do FOH for them among other things (drug dealer, pimp, bail bondsman etc ;-} ) and Joe is the backline/monitor guy (until the budget is there for specific backline techs) and will also handle the tour management.

A simple pot doesn't encode anything as far as I understand the word, regardless of how you actually turn the shaft. Sean

Me too. Can somebody quote his reply, he's not coming out of the killfile just for this. -- Joe Kotroczo kotroczo(a)mac.com |
