Ty is one of our tech support guys and when we realized we needed some help in Orlando he was the perfect guy to travel with us. He has been working really hard all week and getting to know the people coming to our seminars and he has been helping them with questions and computer issues.
Thanks for coming out with us and for your support during our last stop.
See you Monday morning at the office.
The week is getting to an end and we are getting ready to go home.
Orlando is the last stop of our 2008 tour and here is the picture from our M7CL seminar on Thursday. Orlando has been very consistent with people coming to our seminars and we are very happy that is the way the tour is getting to an end.

Wow!!! The longest seminar ever. If you are familiar with the way we run the seminars you know we are usually done at around 3:30-3:45, not in NYC. Our seminar ended at around 5:45.It was a great seminar and we just got a lot of good questions that got us to finish that late, no worries we were ready to stay until midnight.
Thanks for the questions.

The DSR 101 Seminar has finally returned and NYC was a perfect place for it. The seminar was packed with two days worth of information and the people really enjoyed it!

We are now back in NYC and we started our DSR seminar today. It is very nice to see the amount of people that came out to our seminar thinking that is election day today.
We are looking forward for a great week here in NY and the restaurant list we will be visiting is just growing by the minute.
Last night we went out for some BBQ food. Do you know Daisy May's? Great BBQ food and great place to sit down and have a great meal.
I will be updating the restaurant's list for the week, keep an eye on it.

I guess everyone knows about Schwartz's in Montreal. Well we went there last night and had a great smoked meat dinner. It was great, but a lot of food.
According to Michel, our district manager here, we were lucky last night we did not have to stand outside for 45 minutes to get a table.
Any ways, if you are not familiar with the place try it out.
Great food, great people, great price.

Montreal is one of those cities that I always like to come back to. The weather is really nice, thinking that I forgot my jacket at home.
It is our third time here and after a couple of strikes with the places we were using for our seminars we finally found a perfect place for our seminars.
The place is called Showmedia and is a rehearsal studio with all the facilities we need. Loading dock is 5 feet from the room we are using, truck loading dock right there and great power...what else can we ask for? Oh yeah good food, no worries is all cover.

When people are navigating the system they are always looking for the one button that will change multiple things at the same time. In a lot of cases that button will be your User Define Keys.
In this case will be the "Layer snapshot" option.
This will memorize the layer settings for the input channel faders, MIX encoders,
ENCODER MODE, DCA faders and METERS. First assign LAYER SNAPSHOT to
a USER DEFINED key, then configure all the layers in the desired way, and hold the
USER DEFINED key for 2 seconds until it lights up. Now every time that button is
pressed, it returns the layers to the chosen configuration.
If you want to be able to open your GEQ at the same time just have a group of freq from that GEQ assigned to your DCA faders at the moment you create the layer snapshot.

Yes!!! Sorry for the delay. Jose and I were in Japan shooting a video. Don't worry, you won't see my face. I'm the man behind the camera. Jose on the other hand, he's big time now. I hear he's requested his own trailer for our next round of seminars. First hair modeling and now this....what a Prima Donna. Be on the lookout for the M7CL pictures. They will be posted soon!

Yes it is finally back After a little break we are bringing DSR 101 back to our line of seminars. Luis from Shure was here to help us with the hardwired and wireless technology and as usual it was a great presentation. We had a great group and we are really happy with the attendance. Keep checking our website... someone told me we are having another seminar coming up soon in the east coast.

We now have a great option for people looking for a digital snake solution, our SB168 ES. The product has 16 inputs and 8 output in a 3 rack space box. The system is based on the EtherSound Technology, high-quality bidirectional multi-channel transmission capabilities, and its use of easily obtainable CAT5e cable. From there you just need to have the MY16-ES64 and MY16- EX mini-YGDAI cards to connect to a Yamaha digital console.
Well enough for now, how about if you look for us at AES?
We will be there presenting our new family member.
Hope to see you there.

For those who don't know, Jose LOVES dessert. I mean Loves it! Dessert with lunch. Dessert with dinner. He even sneaks a candy bar or two to his room every once in a while. But, lately...there's been something strange going on. Jose hasn't had a dessert since Friday, August 15. That's over a week with no dessert! And its not like he was turning down bad stuff either. There was an awesome carrot cake at lunch in Chicago. Some great desserts available at the Park Grill. He's walked by the Cold Stone at least 3 times here in Boston. But nada. Flan, Key Lime Pie, Boston Creme Pie...he's turned them all down!
I'm going to start a pole this week. How long will Jose go without dessert? Look for it tomorrow! The winner will get a cookie. =)
I came back from the office to the seminar tour in Boston, MA this week.
It was a difficult load-in this time.
After it, we finally got late breakfast at the famous Charlie's Sandwich Shoppe. I got a good sandwich there.

Mike is our district manager here in the Chicago area, and as you can imagine we got stuck with him while in town...just kidding.
We had a lot of fun with him and it was great to come back to Chicago now that we have a new District Manager here. He has been with Yamaha for around 9 months now.
Thanks for your help and support Mike, you really worked hard to get the people here.
See you soon.
