The new Mixer in a Box Blog is fully operational at this time. I may investigate adding a few pictures, or I may put up a gallery on the main site. I did complete the template work and learned a bit more about working with the WordPress theme. I also added a new info page with links to my other sites and the developer’s SAC site. I included also a system integrator’s site that offers packaged SAC systems. My vision for the service offered by Mixer in a Box is more of a custom build site than a packaged system site. One of the attractive features of the SoftWare Audio Console system is that you can use the same mixer with full features with inputs for just a few items on up through 72 full stereo channels. It just depends on the hardware that you select. It is possible for a solo or duo act to go out with a laptop and a few inputs and have the full quality and features that are enjoyed by a full concert system. I invite anyone who is interested in live sound, digital audio, or computers to visit the blog and site.

I have initiated a new blog in conjunction with the Mixer in a Box site. The blog details the gigs that I do with the Software Audio Console. I have one more show to log to bring the blog up to date. Adding the blog creates an RSS feed in conjunction with the site, and blog posts are indexed by the search engines. I just added the nav links to the Mixer in a Box site today. I also worked on the blog page to give it the Mixer in a Box family look. I have a bit more to do to complete that project as I am using a white background for the title section of the header block that I have not yet incorporated into the design. Working with the blog template is not as straight forward as working with a straight page.

When I put up Mixer In A Box I also bought two .info domain names. When I put up the site I forwarded these sites to Mixer In A Box. I suspect that they may not get indexed without an actual page associated with the domain name, so I put up pages with tickler information and linking to Mixer In A Box. These .info domains are Cheap Digital Mixer and Live Sound Computer. I hope that this will improve the possibility of traffic from these sites so that they fulfill their intended purpose. Since the three are a family of sites I used the same design for all three sites.

These sites all promote mixing live sound in a virtual environment using the SoftWare Audio Console software package. The SAC systems allow you to mix live sound on a computer with all of the features of a big digital hardware console. This could be the wave of the future as far as mixing live sound is concerned.
