MIDAS PRO6 masterclass with Nahuel Gutierrez
We were lucky enough this week to host a couple of great days, featuring MIDAS PRO6. The masterclass sessions were hosted at Factory Sound, in conjunction with MIDAS and National Audio Systems (the Australian importer for both MIDAS and Klark Teknik).
Our presenter was Nahuel Gutierrez, who has worked with a stack of touring acts as PA tech (Beastie Boys), Monitor Engineer (Oasis) and heaps more. Rather than presenting as a company product specialist, Nahuel was able to give real-world perspective during the 2 sessions we ran. It would have been great to invite everyone, but we only had space for 12 in each session. Both days were highly informative, and a great forum for healthy and robust discussion between a bunch of live sound engineers eagar to learn more about the future of mixing both here and abroad.
Of course, Factory Sound TV was there to grab an interview with Nahuel.
MIDAS PRO6 has featured in a few other episodes, so help celebrate YouTube's 5th birthday (doesn't seem long enough!) and have a Captain at this lot: Richard Ferriday talks us through Pro6 in Sydney here, Phill Webb shows us Klark Teknik hooked up to PRO6 at Integrate 09 here, Bryan Davidson shows PRO6 running IrisNet at Integrate 09 here, and some much older episodes with Phill Webb showing us some the 'new' Klark Teknik SQ1S at Entech 08 here, with Richard Ferriday showing the 'new' XL8 at the same Entech 08 show here.

We're lucky at Factory Sound. Not only do we get to play with the best gear around, but we also get to meet the makers of much of this equipment. Sept 24th was another one of those golden moments for us.
Jim Odom was in town, and he dropped in for a beer and a chat. Lucky for us the camera was rolling, and we managed to get 3 episodes for Factory Sound TV. Jim's got a very laid-back manner, but he's 'right on it' which becomes evident the more he talks. Not only is Jim the founder and president of Presonus, but he also still rolls the sleeves up and designs much of this great gear.
For these episodes, we mainly focus on some of the 'new stuff' - and when we say new, we mean Released-on-Factory-Sound-TV-New. If you've got a couple of spare minutes, check out the videos below. We've popped a couple of comments above each of them, so you can skip straight to the bits that are of most interest to you.
Part 1: Getting to know Jim. He takes us through the birth of Presonus in Louisiana, including his first studio above the horses, when he was just seventeen...
Part 2: StudioOne - NEW Software! Presonus StudioOne looks to be a great software package. StudioOne Artist will be bundled with all Presonus soundcards from now on, and as a Stand-alone DAW alternative, StudioOne Pro has got all the goodies you need to make a record.
Part 3: This one is all about his awesome StudioLive digital console. We learn how to join multiple units together, and find out how powerful this puppy really is. As both designer and keen user, Jim is the perfect tourguide.
