Bring Your Own Front Fill- It's Is My 75th Birthday

from Thinking Out Loud w/Friends · host Jan Landy

This was Jan's birthday show where participants discussed various topics including De-Feedback innovations, Thunder Audio beginnings, equipment setups, fascinating audio industry experiences from the early days up to recent events. Everyone shared multiple stories from their years of experience in the concert touring industry. The group shared stories about working at the Milken Institute conference, with Bruce describing his successful use of DeFeedback equipment in a small venue with 6 wireless mics, while Christopher Cuse complained about poor sound quality at a Pat Metheny concert at Disney Hall where front fills were missing. Tony Villarreal shared his history with Thunder Audio and Metallica, while the group discussed various audio equipment including Meyer systems, Nexo Alpha speakers, and Gamble consoles. The conversation also touched on technical support challenges for DeFeedback's Mac application and included updates about Curt Hare's restoration work on vintage Gamble consoles. I want to thank Bruce Fallis, Tony Villarreal, Gregory Baker, Ken Newman, David Dansky, Fred Domenigoni, Wayne Sims, Duane Sheets, Devin Sheets, Christopher Cuse, Curt Hare, Steve Gill, Aya-Troll-Ah for their contributions to the conversation.
