PRODUCT LAUNCH Yamaha launched two major software products at InterBee 2010 in November – the Yamaha Console File Converter, and the M7CL Version 3.5 operating system. The Console File Converter can be used to convert file formats between Yamaha’s digital mixing consoles, meaning enormous flexibility in how to deploy resources. Features include three conversion options, and parameters that exist on the target console, but not on the source console, set to default values. The M7CL Version 3.5 update offers numerous new functions that will improve workflow and response times, including new alternate functions for the selected channel and a new Outport Port Setting window. Both products will be available from winter 2010 as free downloads from Yamah’s website. www.yamahacommercialaudio.com From Doctor To Rock A new L-Acoustics K1 audio system has been supplied by ADLIB Audio to BBC Worldwide for its stage show of Doctor Who Live. With a cast including monsters, daleks, and cybermen, not to mention the intergalactic showman himself alongside a 16-piece orchestra, choir, and special effects; the sound of the show forms a complex element. However, Richard Rowley, Project Manager for XL Events, considers the new K1 system to be perfect for the job. The L-Acoustics K1 line source system has also been on tour with Supertramp to celebrate their 40th anniversary. The system has proved versatile enough that configuration can change depending on the venues’ requirements across 35 concerts. Supertramp FOH Engineer Karl Newton was delighted to learn that the band had already specc’ed the K1 system for the tour, “…great sound is their prime objective when performing live… I love mixing on K1; it’s by far my favourite system now.” www.l-acoustics.com LIVE APPLICATION The Show Goes On With Soundcraft Studer A move to London’s National Theatre for the Broadway blockbuster Fela! in November provided the opportunity for a soundscape re-work, with a Studer Vista 5 console selected as the hub of the control centre. Tony award-winning Sound Designer Robert Kaplowitz said he had hoped to have the Vista 5 on Broadway, but was pleased to include it for the London production as it enabled them to take the show a ‘step further’. He said, “At the National we are more ‘in the house’, and the VSP helps us bring the audience right into the show.” Also taking to the stage is the Soundcraft Si3, which was recently provided by Northern Light as part of a tender to supply ‘an advanced technical infrastructure’ to the new £35 million Aylesbury Waterside Theatre. It was deemed of paramount importance that sound was evenly dispersed to every 1,200 seat in the multicultural arts centre, and this was reflected in the choice of FOH mixing console. Northern Light Project Manager Simon Cooper suggested the Si3, because “while retaining that analogue feel, this solution offers a lot more processing power, all built into the desk.” www.soundcraft.com www.soundtech.co.uk AUDIO MEDIA DECEMBER 2010 streaming news @ www.audiomedia.com PRODUCT APPLICATION Linkin Park have used Waves plug-ins for sound-shaping and mixing tools on their fourth studio release, A Thousand Suns.
