| | Today's Review | Audinate Dante Via
By Liz May
In a world where we are constantly connected to technology through devices comes a product that is not in a physical piece of hardware, but instead connects virtually to software programs, USB or Thunderbolt powered devices, FireWire and built-in outputs of your computer. That product is called Dante Via and is available through Audinate's website for about $50.
Dante Via is designed so even the everyday consumer is able to quickly and easily connect a computer to another computer and stream, record or broadcast between two computers. No Dante hardware is necessary, nor do you have to use the Dante Controller or Virtual Soundcard. In fact, Dante Via seems to throw up a fight if you are trying to run it while the Virtual Soundcard is open. More » |

| | Today's Blog | Live Sound Showcase: Touring ‘Delirium’ With Lacuna Coil
By Strother Bullins
Harrah's Cherokee Hotel/Casino Resort recently hosted Lacuna Coil on its 2016 US headlining tour. The band briefly crossed paths with American hard rock band Halestorm at this posh 3,850-capacity theater at the end of a long, winding and beautiful road up, down and into the tribal village a pleasant hour's drive southwest of Asheville, NC. For the show, the Event Center at Harrah's Cherokee provided their installed d&b audiotechnik J Series line array and a Yamaha PM5D at front-of-house, delivering the performance to a largely full standing room floor/pit area and two levels of theater seating.
Lacuna Coil’s 40-minute set literally moved the floor of this modern facility with its full frequency rhythmic metal, invigorating the physically active standing audience on the floor. Its new album, Delirium, was not yet released, though the band previewed two contrasting new songs: the title track/first single and brutal-yet-soaring “The House of Shame.” Less than two weeks later, the album hit the US Billboard Top 200 at #33, Current Album chart at #16, Hard Rock Album chart at #2, and iTunes’ Metal Album chart at #1. The legendary Italian gothic metal act’s eighth but first self-produced effort is very melodic, dramatic, dark and heavier than ever, once again centered on the dual female/male lead vocals of Cristina Scabbia and Andrea (Andi) Ferro.
