Back in the day (the '80s or possibly 90's) my wife and I were in America and saw one of these babies in operation in a small toy shop window. Obviously, we had to have one (ahem, in case we ever had kids). It is now a part of our annual Christmas decorations so thought... Continue Reading →
My own Surface Duo is probably the worst case of this issue as the previous owner dropped it! This was good and bad, good in so much as I bought it for a great price (see my previous post), not so good as I have to deal with the issue - and I don't want... Continue Reading →

After installing the Eucon Client service and the "EU Control" it was relatively easy to get the Mix working over an ethernet connection to my PC (literally just an ethernet cable from the back of my PC into the back of the Mix). The Control software for the mix and other AVID/Euphonix devices I should... Continue Reading →
So the original Mackie Controllers all have a "rude solo" light which is described in the manual as follows: "If you work on a mixer that has a SOLO function with no indicator lights, and you happen to forget you're in SOLO, you can easily be tricked into thinking that some-thing is wrong with your...
