Build A $100,000 Mixing Board

By Nathan Lively

In this episode of Sound Design Live Podcast I talk with sound engineer, software programmer, and creator of RML Labs Software Audio Console, Bob Lentini. We talk about digital mixing consoles, software audio and mixing with a mouse and how it can give you just as much power as a top dollar mixing console.

sound-design-live-bob-lentini-thumbnailJoe Schmo is never going to own a $95,000 Digidesign console, yet, he can have even more power in a box he can build at home.

Details from the podcast:

  1. Software: Software Audio Console (SAC), Software Audio Workshop (SAW), RML Labs, Qlab, SFX
  2. Control Surfaces for SAC: Behringer BCF2000, CM Labs MotorMix, Mackie MCU
  3. Mixing Consoles: Digidesign Venue, Yamaha ProMix, iLive, Digico, Midas
  4. SAC Forum

    This article about mobile mixing just appeared in Live Sound International by Ken Deloria. There are a lot of positive comments and it introduced me to the AIR systems, which are basically hardware setups to go with SAC.
