They are now called “Legal Jam” Reading the news articles, they come across like a bunch of...

I shouldn't let the router put you off too much. It's an annoyance agreed, but there's loads of tiny little 2.4/5ghz routers you can just velcro to the side, or if you get a little rack case, can put in with the XR18 itself... (but appreciate the rack may be something you want to avoid given the additional size and bulk it gives. The other advantage of connecting an external router, is that you can actually get the router aerials off the floor and up to line of sight, meaning you will have a much more robust connection in those more densely populated gigs*. *this may or may not be a problem depending upon your band and Covid!

I know it's probably a bit of a disruptive inclusion to this thread - but if you are looking at keeping it simple, you may want to look at the Zoom LiveTrak stuff. It's like a bridge between an analogue and all out faderless digital solution. All mixed from the desk, so no apps or wifi involved. Full disclosure, I'm shielding and not had any opportunity to see one in the flesh so can't vouch how good they are but it does give you the familiar analogue feel, with 5 auxes (but these are all for IEMs primarily but Im sure you could hook a monitor up - but I'm pretty sure there is not the ability to put a 31 band EQ across them (or the mains) for notching out frequencies), multitrack to SD and will also serve as an interface. Also got some DSP - probably not as comprehensive as the RCF or Behringer... but having said that, I would say the VAST majority of RCF and Behringer users don't make use of the DSP they have available to them anyway. Anyway, I think it's pretty cool and bridges the gap for people scared of losing physical faders. https://zoomcorp.com/en/gb/digital-mixer-multi-track-recorders/digital-mixer-recorder/livetrak-l-12/ https://zoomcorp.com/media/documents/Zoom_LiveTrak_L-12_OperationManual_English.pdf.pdf

It's a great piece of kit and certainly more than capable. The key differentiator though, is if you are looking at doing multi track recording for mixing post gig. The XR18 will, the M18 won't (M18 will record only the L/R to USB).

As in, a relatively small number of people actually have them in their hands...

I wonder how many of those signatures are now tattoos...

What to do eh? Guess you are stuck between baroque and a hard place.

A manual but no product. Perfect 👌

Give me a fugue minuets and I’ll think of another.

I just can’t Handel these puns.

Oh here go - best work down the Liszt of puns.

That Bach is a right bugger. Even as much as play a cover of his and he has the lawyers at your door.

Especially when you are signing the name of the artist that you are taking off...

There's a really killer Clair Bros cab you may dig on too... if your wallet is willing.

Id imagine a few people could get caught up in the moment. To be fair though, I'd pay to see somebody wear one and stand right at the front at a Pearl Jam concert to see what the reaction is. (Not much money though)

Indeed. It's about being decent.

Now ask Pearl Jamm how much money that they have made off the back of Pearl Jam's music, image, logos, copyright infringement... I would wager it's relatively (very much) a one way street.

Looks like somebody (Pearl Jem) may have had a similar letter but didn't cry to the media about it. Doesn't look like they ripped off on the merch front either. https://www.facebook.com/239070523876/posts/10158124729938877/

And there it is, off he goes.

What we really need, is an Andertons video to clear all this up!

I don't think they exist any more, not since John Southorn's passing

In retrospect and doing some further reading and checking out their website and social media, I disagree. They should be gearing up to get sued.

Their T-Shirt is pretty blatant too.

Is this down to Pearl Jam though? Or the surrounding suits? EDIT: looking at this tribute band, they had it coming I'm afraid (imho and all that), they've pretty much infringed everything.
