L5 - DIGITAL AUDIO IN TOURING AND CONCERT SOUND REINFORCEMENT

Chair:
John Monitto, Meyer Sound
Panelists:
Derek Featherstone, Ultra Sound
Gary Hardesty, Consultant
Michael Reeves, Dolby Lake
Robert Scovill, Digidesign

Abstract:
Though digital audio long ago took over in the studio and in postproduction, it has only recently started penetrating live sound deeply. However, live sound has different considerations, including the primacy of reliability, how its real-time nature spotlights latency. There are practical implications of the migration to digital audio, some of which are obvious, and some more subtle. There are also nontechnical challenges, such as educating clients about the issues and managing their expectations. The panel will address these issues of “where the rubber meets the road” and orient the audience to the new mindset in live sound.
