Uplifting uplighting with the Mega Par Profile from American DJ
Posted By Talor on May 15, 2012
Is your current lighting rig not cutting it? Looking to get into uplighting? Check out the Mega Par Profile. A par can with everything you need and nothing to weigh you down. First of all its slim profile allows it to sit on the ground inconspicuously. Its light weight so that means easy set up and break down. Since its LED, you can have quite a few of these going without blowing a breaker. Great design and aesthetics meet excellent quality. Please see the video below for more features.
The Roland Octa-Capture is one excellent piece of gear. Providing one with almost everything they might need for a start up studio. For one, it has very high quality converters allowing one to record at sample rates up to 192k on four channels. The unit itself can record up to 8 analog and 2 digital channels all at the same time using any of the other sample rates besides 192k. The most interesting feature of the Octa-Capture is its auto-sens feature. Essentially what it does is automatically adjusts the input to the optimum level. So when recording the levels are not to soft and they are not too loud. So in the end you’ll have tracks that are easy to work with. Then on top of that this interface can double as a live mixer. It can run as a stand alone unit or it can work with the computer and record the show at the same time. On top of that, to make thing easier, Roland included 40 bit DSP into the unit. It has a compressor for each analog channel for giving extra punch to kick drums or making the bass a little smoother live. They also included reverb for every channel to give vocals or acoustic guitars more depth. So if you need high quality solution for the stage and for studio the Octa-Capture is one of the few that could fit that bill. Something worth seeing.
