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.
