Yamaha recently introduced an addition to the M7 line with the M7CL-48ES. It’s basically an M7 but with only 8 analog inputs and 8 analog outputs on the control surface, along with an EtherSound port to connect up to three 1608ES Stage Boxes.

Being in Two (or More) Places at Once
The other day, I had to do a funeral. Now, I generally don’t like funerals; first because they’re typically emotionally hard, and second because they’re technically challenging. Typically, funerals are planned by people who have no idea how technology works and they are always last-minute. Last week’s funeral was all of that, and more. Because [...]
REALLY! With Mike and Katie
Announcer: [in big, SNL-style voice] And now it’s time for REALLY! With Mike and Katie. Mike is Mike Sessler, a highly opinionated Tech Director; Katie is his not so technical teenage daughter. Together, they point out the ill-designed stuff that drives us all mad. And now, REALLY! Mike: Thank you, thank you… Katie: [giggles] Mike: [...]

Remote Mixing, The Next Day
Alright, so yo have your computer happily talking away to your Yamaha digital board. You move a fader on screen and it moves in real life (that never gets old). Getting here was the subject of yesterday’s post, which you can read here if you missed it. Hopefully, you’re wireless so you can even to [...]
Outdoor Worship
Upper Room has had a tradition for the last seven years of taking our worship gatherings outdoors several times each summer. This year is no exception. We have the entire month of August slated for outdoor worship, though for the first time ever, the first weekend in August was moved indoors due to threatening weather. [...]
