They also talked about audio setup issues and technical adjustments for a live stream. The conversation briefly touched on the situation with Jimmy Kimmel and the role of politics in late-night talk shows, but Jan stopped the discussion before it could become too political. The conversation ended with a brief discussion about the shift towards streaming media and its impact on traditional broadcast ratings.Music Industry and Concert TrendsThe group discussed various topics including concert ticket prices, the changing music industry, and upcoming tours. Ken shared his experience attending Paul McCartney's concert in Las Vegas, while Curt explained his involvement in setting up equipment for The Who's tour. The conversation touched on the high costs of concert productions and the shift in the music industry from album sales to live performances for revenue. Jan mentioned a TikTok prediction of the world ending by September, which led to some lighthearted banter. Fred announced he would be away for a few weeks due to travel. The group also briefly discussed a potential concert by a band named Hotel California in Canada, which David Dansky clarified was not his band.Music Copyright and Tech UpdatesThe group discussed copyright issues, particularly regarding the Eagles' strict enforcement of their music rights, with Jan sharing a story about a company that could only use "Hotel California" in Japan due to licensing restrictions. Christopher explained the concept of fair use, noting that news outlets can use up to 7-8 seconds of music without permission, while Ken inquired about the rules for live performances.

Wayne explained that while the WNS is less expensive at $35, it doesn't work as well as the Cedar units, which are more expensive but offer better customization with 6 frequency bands. Bruce shared that a 2-channel Cedar unit cost around $4,000 several years ago, while Denis noted that a 2-channel 5045 unit currently costs $2,000.

The discussion concluded with recommendations for adapter solutions to handle different cable types and connector standards in various audio systems.Digital vs Analog Mixing InsightsThe group discussed the differences between analog and digital mixers, with Wayne emphasizing the need for proactive thinking in digital mixing rather than reactive adjustments. Bruce shared his technique of using "home buttons" on digital consoles to navigate back to familiar settings, while Denis recounted a humorous story about a water incident at the Montreal Jazz Festival that highlighted the complexity of digital mixing. The conversation concluded with Bruce and Wayne exchanging stories about their experiences with digital consoles, including a water damage incident at a Phoenix event where Bruce was able to recover the setup using a saved configuration on a thumb drive.LCR Audio Mixing TechniquesThe group discussed mixing techniques for left-center-right (LCR) audio systems in theaters. Bruce inquired about optimal ways to pan vocals and instruments, leading to a discussion about placing vocals in the center and panning band members to the stereo sides. Denis explained the use of a "divergence" feature on LCR consoles to control how much of the center signal goes to the left and right channels. The conversation also covered the challenges of using center clusters, including coverage issues and the need for proper mixing techniques. Wayne Sims shared an experience using a matrixed LCR setup in a theater in Port Macquarie, which resulted in a seamless audio experience during a spoken word performance.Isolation Transformers in Audio SystemsThe group discussed the importance of isolation transformers in audio systems, particularly during the transition from analog to digital in the late 90s. Wayne Sims shared his experience with creating audio loops and the challenges of working without isolation transformers, while Bruce and Wayne Pierce highlighted the effectiveness of carrying heavy isolation transformers to ensure clean power for audio and lighting systems. Denis inquired about transformers with variable R or Q factors, which Wayne and Wayne Pierce researched, finding that these factors relate to insulation and impedance, though the exact details were unclear.
