OK, so this site is geared towards professional sound engineers, AV-Technicians, and anyone with a passion for technical audio. I do my best to round up news that I think is interesting to them from their field of employment and enjoyment. Thinking about things a little more, it's my opinion that you people like gadgets, and tech stuff in your homes, studio and on the road as well.
So it is with that in mind, and not at all the fact that I just thought it was cool, that when I was offered the chance to review these universal remotes from One [ read more.. ]

One of the gigs just before Christmas gave me the excuse to talk about a bit of kit I've used quite a bit over the last year or so. I already said that I took a PA rig over to Lowestoft and didn't have to use it, as they had one in the venue. Who'd be a soundman?
I did end up using our own monitor system though, as well as our own desk (one we hire from MSL - the company who do all Jools Holland's shows). The desk is a Yamaha M7CL. I gave a stereo feed to the in-house PA, so I was slightly at the mercy of the mid scoop-happy venue engineer. I [ read more.. ]

Greg Thompson has been a pro audio engineer for about 15 years. He cites his first love as making rock records. He's worked with artists like 50 Cent, Iggy Pop, Norah Jones, The Killers, Pink, Sherryl Crow, and more than a careers worth of others.
"I'm the chief engineer at Kampo in Greenwich Village. I work regularly as a crew member on ABC's Good Morning America, on the Record Plant Remote truck, and I freelance when I can. I spent a long time at the now defunct NYC Hit Factory, but we don't like to talk about that."

So Led Zeppelin's reunion gig - did anyone here go? Are you "Big Mick" Hughes? Audiotechnews would love it if you were, you and your wife.
Robert Plant's personal sound engineer, Roy Williams, was on the desk too! I suppose it was a case of one hand each on the desk, and the remaining digits meeting to form a bond of fear and mutual respect. Yes I mean holding hands.
Pro Sound News report this
As Big Mick admitted afterwards, "The pressure for this gig was definitely on!"
With that in mind, audio for the show was supplied by various UK-base [ read more.. ]

This from Afterdawn
On Thursday the European Parliament passed the Audiovisual Directive, which addresses issues of regulating video transmissions in a way that's consistent throughout the European Union.
Besides standardizing laws across national borders, the "Audiovisual Media Services Without Frontiers Directive" is intended to establish a unified set of rules that will apply whether video is being transmitted as a traditional over the air (OTA) signal, an IPTV stream across the internet, or anything in between the two extremes.
