"The day we received the system I took it straight out on a rock show with only 30 minutes prep time, half of which was spent unboxing everything," reports Merlin PA's Graham White. "I played around with the effects and scenes and got 100% confident with the system within an hour. The show ended too soon, I was enjoying myself."
Since its debut, the iLive-T has mainly been used for the global promos, shows and live appearances of former Destiny's Child star, Kelly Rowland.
White has also taken advantage of iLive's control flexibility. When confronted with limited FOH space in a Nottingham nightclub, he says, "There was no room for a mixing console in the tiny DJ booth, so I just fired up the laptop and connected wirelessly to the iDR-48 rack and mixed the show live on my Macbook. It was very simple to do, and novel enough to have a crowd gather around me during soundcheck to see what I was doing."
