[@FernandoQuevedo]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for sharing your rig and your knowledge! Thanks for looking for AFFORDABLE solution that not only work but SURPASS more expensive rigs. You rock!

[@FloydLedZep]

What an amazing video. Great to see the behind the scene works of a legendary band's tour.

[@RockBrigadeCommunityForum]

great tour and interview thanks

[@Joshuastephens413]

Awesome. I love the combination of technology. I've been looking into combining ableton and the M1 at XS in Las Vegas for a little bit now. Nice to see it in action!

[@downriverprod]

That is a LOT of equipment that could potentially go wrong, but it's pretty cool seeing him playback lighting off a midi keyboard controller. It's also interesting that everything is timecode and basically automated out of the macbook, but that's not really something you could do with most other bands (ones that don't have 100% clicktracks/backing tracks)

[@e4g1e1]

Had to watch it twice, but this is a very ingenious idea.

[@dutoitproductions]

very interesting, i actually understand almost everything

[@snapascrew]

I'm an audio guy and I don't understand any of this. But I'm still here. LOL

[@ArmoredMexican]

snapascrew same dude lol

[@danclarkau]

very cool! Love the fact your using cheap off the shelf equipment!

[@eelskickass]

Pretty sure this is from Melbourne 2010!

[@julienborer9571]

Maybe that it demands more programming time, but the fun is totally different while you're running the show. Plus, you have a whole access to all your palettes and have a lot more buttons to program your cues.

[@martin0mac2000]

Yes it was the Melb Concert Cal. the Entech filming crew was only at the Melb One (I Should know as I was following them around) and was at foh that entire night :)

[@seanfigueroa4181]

[@leonelrojas1516]

Is there a way to get in touch with AJ via Mail?? Right know im using Ableton to do light as well and it would be a great help to ask him some stuff to upgrade and have a better Light Show.

[@vanrok]

[@FabianMaletzke]

@jwrx7tt01 Pooch is the Sound Engineer of Linkin Park

[@KoongLaoGame]

[@jwrx7tt01]

[@rustycagedsnakeman]

@jwrx7tt01 It was fimed at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne late 2010. The guys were awesome and can't rave enough about AJ.

[@tobiasb123]

[@jwrx7tt01]

@trainmaster0000 Pooch?

[@M11293]

Who came first, Entech or Entecc? LOL!

[@rustycagedsnakeman]

@MW3Reveal It won't, he running a MAC ;)

[@HaydenDonald]

I do... lol

[@lakermike52]

Thumbs up if you have no idea wtf this guy is talking about.

[@slaction]

I bet if this dude is still doing lights he's sitting his ass in front of a console now, or he ain't working at all. All the things that he's trying to avoid with this overly complex setup is exactly what LDs get paid to do. Don't want to work behind a light desk? Then don't do lights.
