FROM THE APPLICATION ENGINEERING DESK :
“I have used the Waves Plugins for very long now and have also used the eMotion LV1 on love shows without any hitches” says Pramod. On the first day of training, the board was set-up from scratch helping the current sound engineering batch at Sound Ideaz Academy understand the set-up & patching of an LV-1 console. After a quick introduction to the FiT controller and basic software navigation, the students were up to speed in no time. “The LV1 interface is familiar yet better. After 15 minutes, everything falls into place and the user interface becomes increasingly intuitive. I could see that after the first few minutes, all the students were up to speed and understood the console well” says Swapnil Shigade, Application Engineer – VMT.
“We are constantly wanting our students to have a hands-on experience with the newest & best in Digital Mixing and so we were delighted to host a session on the eMotion LV1” adds Pramod. A top of the line Waves eMotion LV1 console consisting of an Axis One Host, Waves Extreme C Server, FiT Controller, Dell Touch Screens and a 64-channel eMotion LV1 software is set up at the Sound Ideaz academy.
