Great marketing - but bit of a trek for me.

Don't use those unless you want to release some magic smoke. Also, if you take the lid off, you may want to give the pots and valve bass a sprinkling of servisol.

You may want to try some DR coated. They coat their strings before winding. I believe Elixir coat their strings after winding. When I was dabbling with coated strings, I found the DRs coating didn't start coming off like the Elixir ones. Ultimately, I settled on non coated and found my string of preference - DR Lo-Rider.

Funnily enough, I wrote musician first... and thought it was a bit too derogatory. We could start a whole thread on lazy musicians and I could spend the rest of my days reporting on it. Musicians : Always somebody's else's fault "You wouldn't know what it's like because you aren't a musician" "I struggle for my art" (so much I don't get out of bed) If they worked on their art 9 to 5 like an office job, their level of musicianship would be a lot higher etc etc... "Poor me, poor me." Anyway, don't get me started. I seem to be surrounded by lazy musicians at the moment and it's really getting me down. Which brings me onto musicians being one of the greatest sectors with mental health problems. It's no wonder... they are all complete c**ts to each other. All nice to each other faces - but quick to stab each other in the back or attempt to nick each others gigs. Toxic world. I tread very carefully.

Absolutely. A car is car, right?

I think the biggest problem, is that most people are fundamentally lazy on that front... whether they are gifted or not in the marketing/sales department.

Just stumbled across http://www.stagewave.io another system in the same guise as https://audiofusionsystems.com/ Umm, not convinced with audiofusion but not tried stagewave... however I suspect the same will be true. L-a-t-e-n-c-yyyyyy

The problem is the attitude with the band members. They expect instant reward with no input from themselves. I've had it time and time again with my bands. People are pricks and don't understand promotion of a band is pretty much a full time occupation/lifestyle, to get anywhere, whether that be signed, fame... function... or even getting regular pub gigs. It's a saturated market. There's some amazing produced songs out there that get absolutely nowhere... A produced single alone is not the secret of success. I'm guessing at the entry level, there's a lot of shark producers too... so I would be treading very carefully.

Function scene money can be around 250 a gig. And gear is a tax deductible expense. So it depends on the stature of your gigging... hobbyist, semi-pro (with secondary income), pro. I suspect these things will become common place on the wedding and corporate scene, just like the Helix and Kemper is.

Given it's specs, if it delivers the goods, I'd say it's pricing is spot on in competing with the rest of the market leaders.

That would be a cruel trick!

What people do with their money is fine by me (as long as it’s legal) Just my personal preference and experience. Not unduly pessimistic, just acting upon past lessons learned! Yes I am interested. Yes it does look awesome.

That's a good starting point! Nothing to worry about then!

Of course there won't. Have you not heard their plugins? (Because plugins immediately make you a boss in manufacturing and physical distribution etc etc etc...)

I'm going to have to let you down I'm afraid. It's a significant birthday weekend that I could not possibly miss.

Yup. The Internet is a crazy place. Only takes a few people to hype a product and suddenly based on nothingness, it becomes the greatest thing since sliced bread. Of course, given all the people that have signed up, not only have they got to get the product out... but they got to do before people start going "you've got my money, where is it?" Any slight manufacturing mishaps and the company will be dead in the water with lots of angry punters. Again, seen it before far too many times. Me? Negative? No... just realistic. I'll be looking forwards to when I can hold it in my hands at a shop and have a proper nose and play (and of course, read about all the bugs being ironed out before I even consider going there... that's a lot of money to throw into a rapidly depreciating asset!)

Ahem... MasterFader 5.1 from Mackie for their DL mixers. I think it's more than a year overdue now.

Indeed. There's one thing showing off a product at NAMM. And one thing actually getting the product to market and in your hands. And that's before we even talk about software bugs and the like. I'll let everybody ride the hype (which is what it is) before I take too much notice. I can see that it looks good... -it may even sound good (although the social media platforms are probably not best used to determine such things). I've been caught up in this sort of game before. Can people remember the Octavius Squeezer? I bought a X-Deep Black Dive Computer.... bit of a problem that the screen is now out of production (18 months after it's release) - and guess which bit is the common failure point. On top of that, inaccurate depth and temperature measurements. I'll let other people have the ballache before I play this type of game again.

Youtube!

This is look great!

It depends where you want to feel the impulse. I've found I prefer to the feel the force through my pelvis, which is why I prefer the Woojer strap (say on my hips) to the backbeat. Each to their own. Neither are as good as the platform however - but that does mean, as you say, not moving from the spot.

https://www.procosound.com/topic/wiems Not on 2.4Ghz. Big tick. No mention of stereo - assuming mono by balanced XLR. Not the greatest of latency figures... but with another player in the wifi digital IEM zone, it's an indication that things are beginning to happen on the digital front I guess.

The software is the same (apart from gui colour scheme) I believe, it's the hardware that is different. (Mic pres and the computer interface element (even though it effectively does the same)). I did think there were different DACs too - but that may be incorporated as part of the "Midas preamps".

Well - I’ve not had experience of Midas warranty. I’d imagine that due to their presence in the pro sector that it would have to be pretty superb as people would be bailing out to the likes of A&H and Digico in a heartbeat if it wasn’t. As for the pres... well... sound is subjective. I’ve not ABed them side by side to give an answer.

You've pretty much summed it up... the mic pres.... however the only other, yet significant difference, is the warranty. Midas comes with 10 years...
