Playback Workshop:⁠ Jamie of MckPlay will host a Playback Workshop focusing on autoswitching technologies, how to set them up and what to look out for. From the simple SW8 to the prevelant PlayAUDIO series to MADI & Dante systems, MckPlay will go from start to finish on setup, fine tuning and highlight the suprising similarities.⁠ ⁠ Playback Clinic:⁠ A 30 minute session direct with either MckPlay, A Work In Progress or Gravity Rigs and your Playback Setup where we can help with things that may be wrong, where you can improve or just some reassurance that actually, everything you're doing is totally fine. Places are very limited. Sessions may be observed by workshop participants, in the spirit of shared learning and full transparency.⁠ ⁠ ---⁠ ⁠ Factory Reset: An event for all Live Music Professionals in collaboration with @strongroom.venue ⁠ ⁠ 13th Jan 2026⁠ ⁠ Free ticket link in bio⁠ ⁠ ---⁠ ⁠ Clear out the old sessions, forgotten patches, and dusty workflows to make room for what’s next in live music.
