| | Today's Review | PreSonus StudioLive 32.4.2 AI Mixing Console
By Liz May, PAR Contributor
The StudioLive AI series has many of the same features I loved on the previous StudioLive models, but has expanded to provide more options accessible at the tip of my finger, plus more integrated software. [See Liz's first StudioLive review for PAR here: http://www.prosoundnetwork.com/article/presonus-studiolive-1602-compact-digital-console/14481— Ed.] PreSonus's Fat Channel remains the heart of the console, providing detailed dynamic and equalization controls. An added feature includes the A/B option; in a live mixing situation, this can be a lifesaver if an engineer has a performer who is playing acoustic guitar for part of the set but then switches to a ukulele using the same direct line. The A/B option allows EQ and Dynamics settings for one instrument on A and another instrument on B, enabling switching between the two without needing another input channel. At Winston-Salem's Underground Theatre, this became a key feature. Many of the events are songwriter nights where a variety of performers would use the same input for their acoustic instruments.

By Frank Wells, Editorial Director
A city of better than a quarter million people, Fort Wayne, Indiana is a two-hop from all but a handful of major airports, and a significant drive from all but a handful of major cities. That Sweetwater Sound is based in Fort Wayne while becoming the largest online/telephone retailer of MI and Pro Audio gear in the USA is a fascinating story in itself, but that's not the story we're here to tell today. What if such a company threw a party and invited all its customers and manufacturer partners, near and far, to come and join in on two days of gear lust alongside compelling educational sessions? In Sweetwater's case, over 8,000 individuals would answer the call, coming from states across the nation and even foreign countries to take advantage of the open doors. "We love Sweetwater GearFest because we love getting to know the people who use our products," says Larry Droppa, President of API. "Spending time with API users, including our friends at Sweetwater is a worthwhile effort, as GearFest brings in people from all over the globe." More »
