AES 2009
AES 2009 Wrap-Up
Given the state of the global economy, perhaps the real miracle about the 127th AES was that it happened at all. Sure, this show was scaled down from past years, with no demo rooms and most exhibitors taking much smaller booth spaces. But the spirit of innovation was alive and well at AES. Read the show report.

HOW THEY DO IT
Bill Keown of Black Magic Audio
Black Magic Audio managing director Bill Keown on providing monitor system for the Alternative Stage at this year's Leeds Festival
The equipment set up for the stage was somewhat complicated, but [Allen & Heath] iLive [console at monitor world] is so versatile we knew it would cope with the responsibility. The FOH console was bused through iLive so that when the live bands had finished each night, we could simply switch off and case up the FOH console and mix the later DJ and MC acts from the side stage on iLive and not have to worry about flying beer. We maximized iLive’s I/O capacity and it didn't have any problems handling the task. On Sunday night, we had five bands with short, 15-minute changeovers, but iLive’s intuitive surface layout meant we could easily manage the demanding schedule and had compliments all round from the artists.

"We were all sitting down at the load-in just before the last show, and I was there with Willie Williams, who is the art director, the lighting designer and the show designer, and Bono came in for the last sound check and said to the two of us, ‘Can we play a show in the round?’” Berry said during a Saturday tour of the stage construction. "And we looked at each other and told him, ‘You can do anything you want.’” Read more of this article.

Entertainment in a Can: The Pepsi Center Experience
What would you expect of acoustics in a place affectionately called "the Can"? Whether you love or hate the Pepsi Center as a concert venue, chances are you've experienced the good with the bad. On one hand, you're seeing the marquee artists you love, from Madonna to Keith Urban, Aerosmith to Fleetwood Mac, Dave Matthews to the Rolling Stones.
