Other Midas' at Columbia were a sweet old monitor desk (which was marvelous) and a strange old FOH board which was constantly in disrepair. That FOH desk was madly modified to be a recording board, which probably led to all the confusion regarding it's repair. Truly one of a kind.
There is sort of an obsession in Chicago live sound with Midas 
edit - warmowski, were you working for Chicago Sound? |
Chicago Sound had that contract until this season, when the city Dept. of Cultural Affairs took over the shows. I worked for DCA.
What did they mod the Midas at Columbia with?
We had a pretty fair run outdoors this season, got rained on many times but no major failures. Lost a channel on a Klark-Teknik compressor that made a sound like a helicopter on a night when while Lollapalooza was bleeding into my mix from half a mile away...at first I thought it WAS a helicopter and I was scanning the skies...hahah
