4. Hardware Controllers. Mackie, Lemur, Behringer.
5. Show control stuff and cue lists. Triggering from midi. dmx, midi time code.
6. Apple hardware options. XServe. Xserve RAID. SCSI disc performance. SATA RAID performance...Why not bring your own discs to test on different machines.
7. Things that cropped up on recent shows. Performance on older machines. Use of image pro HD. Midi time code. Video input cropping.
8. Performance "Why dont my dual 2.0GHz machine - with HES harddrive work well?". Files with bigger image sizes - and how to make them work ( or not work )- "You mean the computer has limits??"

Any chance to partecipate remotely ?

[joshgubler]

I'll second that idea. Perhaps a webcam or screencast or something.

Im not even sure there will be any internet at turnmills.
I havent ever done anything there-

If there is - I wont have any time to set anything up like this - and check it works.

I have been away travelling for 4 weeks- and im not back in london until friday this week.

Maybe next time.

That's too bad. It looks like you're going to be sharing a lot of good stuff. I'd even be happy if somebody stuck a camcorder on a tripod in the corner of the room and posted it here later.

I'll be going from the USA to the workshop. Maybe with Richard's permission, I could tape it and post it as a Podcast (I can also post it on my website). What do think Richard?

By the way, is anyone else going that has a hotel room nearby and is willing to share? Hotels are booked up like crazy because of Wibledon and the closest place I can find is a 40 minute ride away.

Wimbledon is the wrong end of town - you need to search in the city -

Maybe - You should try in EC1 london- try search for "City of London" or 'Kings Cross' or Barbican or Farringdon.

Richard,
I'd be more than happy to make some tutorial podcasts for you. I have all the kit here. I think it would be a great benifit to all to be able to download video demonstrations. As we're only down the road, it may be quite convienient for you?
Would love to "give something back" after all your help.
