Among other things going on, I got the school to buy a pair of Fractal FM3's for the students.

Just for us to use on the big shows (which we are starting to tech the first one this week). I'll post updates as this unfolds.

Cool!
I had a conversation with a buddy of mine who's been a die-hard tube amp guy a few weeks ago. I steered him toward the Fractal, and he went ahead and got one.

Those kids are so lucky to have that program and to have you teaching it.

If we only had more choices of gear for making guitar music. Oh well.

I thought my EX PXM 12mp monitor had died yesterday at 3 am (I went out to work with the FM3s because I couldn't sleep) so I panic-ordered another one from Sweetwater. My son and I took the old one apart, saw nothing wrong with it, and put it back together so that I could find an EV repair station and it started working again. My new monitor still comes today and I don't know if it's my imagination or there is still something wrong with the old one sonically so I'm keeping both. Sweetwater was awesome and sent ome out quickly enough that I'll get it today and have it for this weekend's gigs. I should have a backup anyway considering how much I use the damn thing.

Last night went pretty well with the FM3s.I'll try and get some video next week once they have dialed in the house mixes a little better.

I saw this on Instagram, totally cool of you to do...

Giving the students experience with the latest tech can only be beneficial for them...hope it works out for you...
