Yet Another MiaB Page

Friday, January 15th, 2010

I have just uploaded a page on the Auxiliary Section of the SoftWare Audio Console to the Mixer in a Box site.

I also did a couple of other tweaks while I was fussing with the site. I reordered the left column nav section in a way that I feel is more logical and added one more category to the coming attractions section. I also retitled the video page since there are now two videos to view.

Check out the new pages at Mixer in a Box.

The Scenes System in SAC

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

I have recently been adding some content to my Mixer in a Box site. I have just uploaded a page about the scenes system incorporated in the SAC software. This scenes system is very powerful. The resolution of the scenes system allows one to control a single event on a single mixer up to a global snapshot of all twenty five mixing consoles in the Software Audio Console software. Read more about the uses of the scenes system on the Scenes Page at Mixer in a Box.

Another new Mixer in a Box page

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

I have added a Mixer Views page to the Mixer in a Box site. This goes into some detail about the various views that are available in the virtual mixer. I am illustrating these new pages with screen shot cuts of the various parts of the mixer. I even got a little fancy and made a hover pop-up enlargement of one of the images.

I have at least two more pages planned for this site. The next page will be about effects patching and the scenes system. Then I think that I will write an article about using the virtual mixer in real live situations. I will probably work some more on this tomorrow, and then on to the next project.

Z Mixer Page added to Mixer in a Box Site

Friday, January 8th, 2010

I have added a new page to the Mixer in a Box site, the Z-Mixer page. There is a screen shot of the whole Z Mixer strip. I put the photo in a scroll box to give a visual representation of the Z Mixer in the SAC GUI.

To create the image I took screen shots of the various sections of the Z Mixer and used my photo editor, IrfanView, to stitch the screen shots together into one continuous image. IfranView has a panorama routine that will do this. If you look closely you can see some of the seams, but the representation is pretty good.

I intend to add a few more pages to this site in the near future.

While I was fussing with the site I did a few minor tweaks to the code and found that I had not activated the comment system. I have added quick links at the top of the pages to the comment box, so it was important to discover that the system was not active, and correct that situation.

My First Squidoo Lens

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

I had heard about Squidoo lenses several times but did not really know what they were. I investigated Squidoo last week. I discovered that Squidoo Lenses are a cross between a wiki and a blog.

The Squidoo Lens is a page about a specific subject. Authors are free to write about nearly any subject that is not on the SquidDon’t list. That is the part that is like a wiki, but there can be any number of pages on any given subject like a blog.

My first lens is about the Software Audio Console. I talk a little about mixing in general and a little about SAC. I posted a few pictures that I have taken and have a comment section asking if my readers are ready to give up their hardware mixers. I also posted the youtube video about SAC live at Harrah’s in Los Vegas. The link to the page is http://www.squidoo.com/mixerinabox if you would care to check it out.

The site has a very interesting business model. The put advertising on the pages and distribute half of the proceeds to the publishers using the site. This allows them to have a great deal of content on the site that draws significant traffic and produces an income stream. Of their half they donate a percentage to charity off the top and pay the bills with the remainder. The half that they return to the publishers is devided according to a formula that they have devised that rewards the publishers with the most popular lenses. I am thinking of incorporating a similar system with my Here’s Our Site free site offers. They also pay for referrals so if you think that you might be interested in joining in the fun please click on my affiliate link embedded in this sentence.

Welcoming Mixer In A Box to the family

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

I have a new website up on the web. There is still a good deal of work to do on the site, but it is up there and waiting for visitors. The site is http://www.mixerinabox.com/ if you would care to check it out. I also purchased to .info feeder domains that are now set up to redirect to the site. They areĀ  http://www.cheapdigitalmixer.info and http://www.livesoundcomputer.info. This site is about the Software Audio Console or SAC system. I have built one and put it into service. I offer to assemble systems for those that don’t feel competent or do not have the time to do it themselves. Please stop by and check out the newest member of my family of site.

Possible New Site

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

I will probably add a new site to my stable in the near future. I have assembled a tool for my business, a Software Audio Console. My primary business is in the field of sound reinforcement. The Software Audio Console, or SAC system, is a full featured virtual digital mixing environment that runs on a Windows PC. I have used the system for my last two contracts and intend to use it as my primary console in the future.

The new site will offer the service of a system integrator. I will offer to build SAC systems to those interested in owning the system, but who do not feel competent or do not have the timeĀ  to assemble their own system. This would allow me to indulge to of my areas of interest, building computers and producing sound. I will keep you posted on developments and show off the new site if I decide to put it up.
