So I spent the last 2 weeks mixing sound for my local community theatre on their spandy new Behringer x32.
And it's apparent to me why it's sold 200k+ units in 3 years. And -- as I am wont to do -- I started musing on what you'd need to do to make it into a broadcast board. :-) You'd want to lock off the various bits of processing, and that *would* probably require custom firmware... but the most important thing *I* could think of was remote start/fader start for automation. And it seems to me that could be done by writing a listener that attached to the board using OSC (OpenSoundControl), and waited for either an off-infinity fader move or a channel-unmute from the assigned channel, and triggered the relevant live-assist playout channel. Any hackers on the list who could comment on whether that's insane or not? :-) (This would be useful for theatrical cue-assist as well, of course, though you likely wouldn't use Rivendell to run that... Hell; maybe you would; I haven't looked at it lately.) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
