Tiger Woods may have the ears of golf's governing bodies but as far as Adam Scott is concerned, the world No. 2 does not have his facts straight when he calls for a ban on long putters.
"His voice carries some weight on the issue, a lot of players have been quite outspoken about it, and certainly when Tiger Woods speaks about it generates a lot of interest," Scott told Reuters on Tuesday about Woods' oft-stated opposition to lengthy wands like Keegan Bradley's belly model and Scott's broomstick.
Speaking ahead of this week's Singapore Open, an event he has won three times, the 32-year-old Aussie took issue with Woods' support for an anticipated rule change from the USGA- and Royal and Ancient that would outlaw anchored putters. Woods has lobbied the USGA on behalf of making the putter the shortest club in a golfer's arsenal -- a view with which Scott took serious issue.
"I'm not necessarily sure his views on what the putter should be are correct at all," said Scott, who employs Woods' former caddie, Steve Williams. "I don't think the putter should be the shortest club in the bag. Tthat has never been a rule in golf so I don't know why it should be now."
Scott added his voice to a growing chorus of golfers -- including 2011 PGA champ Bradley, reigning U.S. Open winner Webb Simpson, and the victor of this year's British Open Ernie Els -- who would call a foul on an anchoring proscription.
"It is very hard to find a good reason to [ban anchoring] at this stage so my conversation was to find out where things sit because it is very hard to get information," said Scott, who has wedged a 49-inch Scotty Cameron by Titleist Kombi mallet into his chest since last year. "My opinion would be I don't think it is in the best interests of the game to ban the long putter. I think there are some more important issues [like the lengths of courses] that probably should have time spent on them than putting."
Bradley and Els have threatened legal action if golf's rules-makers take away their belly bats. Scott appeared unlikely to go to such an extreme, though he reiterated his displeasure with any sort of ban on long flat sticks.
"We certainly don't need that sort of carry-on going on in the game of golf," said Scott. "I think it is all unwarranted, all of it, and there are more important things to worry about."

Etemad Art Gallery Jun 2014 Ramtin Zad Nocturnal 02
The World > Asia > Middle East > Iran > Tehran
There was a time when Ramtin Zad would entertain us with his witty and playful subjects where certain motifs had come to be part of his repertoire in bold bright colours. Kebab skewers, watermelons, teapots and turquoise domes with elaborate Persian designs were interspersed with the random people who occupied his world. He seems to have left that place and headed out to nature to hang out with animals.
He has left the day and entered the night. In his 'Nocturnal' series, the night talks of the days. Days we have all been living through. He has forsaken the bright for the deep. He has focused on animals and in the process his random people have become more real.
But Zad's new domain is an unpredictable one where something is lurking even in the seemingly lush and untouched. Here size is an issue both in the imposing nature and the beasts that roam and romp within it. The expanses of some northern unknown place covered in snow are brought into perspective by the jarring presence of monkeys. But it's their dunce hats that define the scale. The explosion of rich autumnal trees, unstable in the distance, hangs over a waterfall where a man with all his might is locked paralyzed, hanging on to his trophy of a giant fish that is struggling to free itself from his clutches. Giant fir trees' spiky needles substitute soft tinsel as they hang over a crowd of merry-makers in a masked ball.
Within this wild oversized nature, humankind is tested against the elements but mainly against himself and his own kind. Where humans are often asses, or wish to seem so for whatever reason. And there are bears, huge, angry bears fighting or are they dancing too in another corner of this mad soiree?
In this seemingly mythical place, if there is nobility it is in the animal and where there is ignobility it is amongst the humans who by turn find themselves omnipotent because of their sudden found size or by virtue of their smallness in what is being done in their name or to them. And then there are the fireworks that convey no sound. The crack of wings of a flock of doves taking off in Imam Reza's shrine are more audible than the fireworks overhead. In Zad's new works fireworks are a sign of silence.
Zad has now abandoned surface motifs and is diving deep within, stripping himself naked in a confessional. That he struggles, that he too struggles and is not immune to what has been on parade at the masquerade we have all been attending.

Overview and History
Tehran is the capital of Iran and the largest city in the Middle East, with a population of fifteen million people living under the peaks of the Alborz mountain range.
Although archaeological evidence places human activity around Tehran back into the years 6000BC, the city was not mentioned in any writings until much later, in the thirteenth century. It's a relatively new city by Iranian standards.
But Tehran was a well-known village in the ninth century. It grew rapidly when its neighboring city, Rhages, was destroyed by Mongolian raiders. Many people fled to Tehran.
In the seventeenth century Tehran became home to the rulers of the Safavid Dynasty. This is the period when the wall around the city was first constructed. Tehran became the capital of Iran in 1795 and amazingly fast growth followed over the next two hundred years.
The recent history of Tehran saw construction of apartment complexes and wide avenues in place of the old Persian gardens, to the detriment of the city's cultural history.
The city at present is laid out in two general parts. Northern Tehran is more cosmopolitan and expensive, southern Tehran is cheaper and gets the name "downtown."
Getting There
Mehrabad airport is the original one which is currently in the process of being replaced by Imam Khomeini International Airport. The new one is farther away from the city but it now receives all the international traffic, so allow an extra hour to get there or back.
Tehran driving can be a wild free-for-all like some South American cities, so get ready for shared taxis, confusing bus routes and a brand new shiny metro system to make it all better. To be fair, there is a great highway system here.
The metro has four lines, tickets cost 2000IR, and they have segregated cars. The women-only carriages are the last two at the end, FYI.
Taxis come in two flavors, shared and private. Private taxis are more expensive but easier to manage for the visiting traveler. Tehran has a mean rush hour starting at seven AM and lasting until 8PM in its evening version. Solution? Motorcycle taxis! They cut through the traffic and any spare nerves you might have left.
People and Culture
More than sixty percent of Tehranis were born outside of the city, making it as ethnically and linguistically diverse as the country itself. Tehran is the most secular and liberal city in Iran and as such it attracts students from all over the country.
Things to do, Recommendations
Take the metro to the Tehran Bazaar at the stop "Panzda Gordad". There you can find anything and everything -- shoes, clothes, food, gold, machines and more. Just for the sight of it alone you should take a trip there.
If you like being outside, go to Darband and drink tea in a traditional setting. Tehranis love a good picnic and there are plenty of parks to enjoy. Try Mellat park on a friday (fridays are public holidays), or maybe Park Daneshjou, Saaii or Jamshidieh.
Remember to go upstairs and have a look around, always always always! The Azadi Tower should fit the bill; it was constructed to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of the Persian Empire.
Tehran is also full of museums such as:
the Contemporary Art Museum
the Abghine Musuem (glass works)
the 19th century Golestan Royal Palace museum
the museum of carpets (!!!)
Reza Abbasi Museum of extraordinary miniatures
and most stunning of all,
the Crown Jewels Museum which holds the largest pink diamond in the world and many other jaw-dropping jewels.

Digital mixing: the next generation
With a powerful user interface, unrivaled sound quality, amazing DSP performance, direct Wi-Fi and LAN communication, fast and intuitive workflow, onboard FireWire s800 interface, and tightly integrated software suite for Mac®, Windows®, and iOS®, StudioLive™ AI-series digital mixers create a streamlined working environment for both live and studio use.
Redesigned from the ground up, these state-of-the-art mixers provide analog workflow with extensive dual signal processing on every channel and bus and actively integrated software that solves real-world problems and lets you record and distribute what you mix. Configurable networking and communications option cards ensure your investment won't be outdated as new technologies emerge.
In short, StudioLive AI-series mixers deliver the very best in digital mixing and recording technology and make it all incredibly intuitive and easy to learn and use.
The future is Active Integration™
StudioLive AI-series mixers start with all the strengths that made the first generation of StudioLive mixers famous: powerful, surface-driven interface; loads of DSP processing and analog I/O; and layerless mixing, thanks to dedicated mix buses. Then they push the technology to the next level. So while the three StudioLive AI-series mixers — the StudioLive 32.4.2AI, 24.4.2AI, and 16.4.2AI —look and feel much like their non-AI counterparts, they have been reengineered from the ground up with far more capabilities and computing power.
The difference is Active Integration™ (AI), a complete, networked, tightly integrated hardware/software ecosystem in which every touch point in the system communicates to enhance the user experience and solve practical problems in ways not previously possible.
Active Integration products combine powerful 32-bit floating-point DSP, wireless and wired networking, USB 2.0 connectivity, and proprietary software to solve real-world live-sound and studio problems. PreSonus leads the industry in hardware/software integration, and Active Integration takes this concept to a new level, offering high-end capabilities that have never been available before.
Current Active Integration products employ cutting-edge OMAP™ L138 processors — a whole computer on a chip. These 32-bit, 96 kHz multi-stream CPUs operate at 350 MHz and feature an operating system, 100 Mb Ethernet communications, USB 2.0 and 1.1, and lavish amounts of high-speed RAM.
In PreSonus StudioLive™ AI-series digital mixers, Active Integration technology includes powerful Wi-Fi remote control over a variety of features, using free Mac®, Windows®, and iPad® software. In addition, Active Integration enables standard Ethernet communications and optional Dante and AVB networking, making possible extremely flexible, powerful, networked systems.
Thanks to Active Integration, the StudioLive AI-series mixers have 64 times the processing power and an incredible 10,000 times more RAM than the previous top-of-the-line StudioLive 24.4.2. This makes possible an extended feature set, including twice as many internal effects buses, and the ability to create two complete sets of EQ and dynamics settings for a channel and then make quick A/B comparisons at the touch of a button. The powerful CPU inside each StudioLive AI mixer lets us take advantage of key parts of the highly regarded Studio One audio engine. We're able to use the same 64-bit coefficients for the summing engine, EQ, and dynamics. Basically, we've actively integrated the things that make Studio One sound so good into these mixers. The result is a bigger sound, better stereo imaging, and more detailed audio.
With Active Integration, new features and enhancements can be added in future firmware and software updates—and PreSonus has earned a reputation for regularly supplying such updates in its digital products.
But Active Integration doesn't stop with hardware. The new StudioLive AI software suite has also been redesigned to take advantage of the new networking features.
Create Customized Systems—Up to 64 Channels!
Combining two StudioLive AI mixers provides exceptional power and flexibility and enables you to create a large-format console on a small-format budget. Start with 16, 24, or 32 channels, then cascade a second StudioLive AI-series mixer of any frame size to create custom-sized mixing consoles with all the hardware and software advantages of StudioLive Active Integration systems. Now your system can grow with your needs and budget!
By connecting a FireWire 800 cable between two StudioLive AI-series mixers, you can cascade them to functionally create a single large-format console with full DSP, routing, recording, and remote-control capability. For example, you can combine two StudioLive 32.4.2AI mixers to get a 64-channel system with 32 mix buses that can record 80 simultaneous streams and play back 66 on any FireWire 800- or Thunderbolt-equipped computer.
Cascading mixers of different frame sizes is great for special events that require a few extra recording channels that don't need to be in every monitor mix. For example, a StudioLive 16.4.2AI can be cascaded to a 32.4.2AI and form a single 48-channel console with 6 global aux buses, as well as 8 local aux sends that are available to the channels on the 32.4.2AI.
When two mixers are cascaded, one mixer is designated the "Master" and the other the "Slave." All buses from the Slave mixer, except the internal effects buses, are merged into the buses of the Master mixer. However, you can optionally merge the subgroups or manage them separately to use as DCAs, with full Fat Channel processing, patched to the main bus. Merged buses are passed through the outputs of the Master mixer, and all bus controls are linked. Channel controls remain local to each mixer.
The internal FX buses remain separate for the two boards, so you have up to four reverbs and four delays across the complete system. Mute Groups and Quick Scenes are disabled on the Slave mixer but operate normally on the Master board.

Actively integrated software.
PreSonus StudioLive AI-series mixers are tightly integrated with an entire suite of free, state-of-the-art software that helps you mix and record better and have more fun doing it. No other digital mixer anywhere near this price class comes close with respect to software integration and features. In fact, most digital mixers in much higher price classes don't come close.
The StudioLive AI Software Library has been redesigned for the Active Integration platform and comprises the latest version of our tightly integrated software bundle for Mac and Windows: Capture™ 2.1 multitrack-recording software, Studio One Artist® 2.6 DAW, and Virtual StudioLive-AI editor/librarian/control software with Smaart Measurement Technology™.
In addition, StudioLive Remote-AI control software for iPad® and QMix™-AI aux-mix control for iPhone®/iPod® touch are available free from the Apple App Store.
All of these applications are designed to communicate with each other and with the mixer. This means that you can now save and load scenes with Capture™ 2.1 and share presets between the Fat Channel plug-in in Studio One 2.6 and VSL-AI. Channel names entered in SL Remote-AI are broadcast throughout the network (including Capture), so you only have to name a channel once—and you can name it from anywhere, including the StudioLive AI mixer!
Here's a level of integration you won't get anywhere else: When you record with Capture 2.1, you have the option of saving the StudioLive AI mixer scene along with the Capture Session. Studio One 2.6 can import Capture Sessions seamlessly, and when you import a Capture Session that includes a StudioLive AI mixer scene, the Studio One mixer is set to match your StudioLive AI mix scene, including fader values, mutes, pan, and FX send mixes. Fat Channel settings are loaded into Studio One's new Fat Channel Native Effects™ plug-in. Now you can listen to your mix on your laptop, just as it sounded during the gig, even if the StudioLive AI mixer is packed and on its way to the next gig.
Wi-Fi and wired networking.
PreSonus StudioLive™ AI-series digital mixers' Active Integration™ technology includes powerful real-time, direct, wired and Wi-Fi remote control over a variety of features, using free Mac®, Windows®, and iOS® software. And unlike previous StudioLive mixers, you don't need to have a Mac or PC attached to have wireless control!
Creating a wireless network may be new to you but no worries: We made it easy to connect your StudioLive AI mixer to a wireless network.
If you connect a wireless router to your StudioLive AI mixer with an Ethernet cable, the system assumes (just like Mac OS X and Windows) that you have permission to be on that network, and your mixer automatically connects to it. If you want to go wireless, you can scan for available wireless networks and scroll through them by name. If you name your wireless network "StudioLive," your mixer will even connect automatically.
You will never have to create an IP address or enter a subnet mask, or even know what those are.
Bottom line: If you've ever connected your computer, iPad, or iPhone to a wireless network, you already know how to connect your StudioLive AI mixer to the network.
That said, we understand that corporate, educational, and government environments require secured, firewalled networks, which requires some expertise. We gave you that capability, too: The networking backbone of PreSonus AI technology was recently registered with IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority). Simply open port 47809 to let AI control network traffic through.
Like all StudioLive mixers, every AI-series mixer integrates a multi-channel recording interface. Unlike previous StudioLive mixers, however, AI-series mixers are equipped with a continuously bidirectional FireWire s800 audio interface that is located on an option card, so you will be able to swap it out and use the latest cutting-edge technologies, such as Thunderbolt, Dante, and AVB (coming soon).
StudioLive AI-series mixers improve upon the much-lauded recording capabilities of previous StudioLive mixers. A pair of FireWire ports—FireWire s800, rather than the FireWire 400 ports found on the original StudioLive mixers — lets you connect the StudioLive AI mixer to a Mac or Windows PC for recording and enables wired VSL-AI software control, including Smaart audio-analysis. (More about VSL-AI shortly.)
The StudioLive 32.4.2AI's integrated recording interface can send up to 48 audio streams to a computer and return up to 34 playback streams. The StudioLive 24.4.2AI offers 40 digital sends and 26 digital returns, and the 16.4.2AI provides 32 sends and 18 returns.
Every StudioLive AI-series mixer offers a special USB 2.0 port with an included USB wireless (Wi-Fi) LAN adapter for connection to your wireless router.
A standard Ethernet port provides a hard-wired connection to your wireless router. So you have two different ways to connect to a router and can use whichever works best for the gig.
But you aren't limited to FireWire and standard Ethernet. The FireWire s800 and Ethernet ports come preinstalled on a card that can be replaced with optional Dante, AVB, or Thunderbolt cards so you can use the latest technology.
Safe, sane, and secure.
Powerful networking and wireless remote control is great—but what if someone tries to hack into your Wi-Fi system and take control of the show or some clown attempts to play FOH engineer when you step away from the mixing station? You can put the kibosh on that, thanks to the StudioLive AI mixer's security features!
If you've mixed many shows, you know that securing the mixing station can be crucial when you step away for any reason. Securing your wireless remote control system is an even bigger issue because a hacker could be anywhere in the venue. That's why StudioLive AI-series mixers have security features that effectively protect the entire system.
For starters, you can lock selected sections of the StudioLive hardware with a password, so nobody can mess with your settings when you step away from the console. The lockout feature can save you a lot of anguish, and not every digital mixer has it.
But what sets StudioLive AI mixers apart with respect to security is that your wireless remote-control network also is protected. StudioLive AI mixers let you set permissions that determine which features can be controlled from each iPad on the network that is running SL Remote-AI.
You also can decide whether a given QMix-AI for iPhone/iPod touch on the network can control an entire aux mix or just the Wheel of Me. The rhythm guitarist is quite capable of creating a good monitor mix, so allow him to do it. But that lead guitarist is sure to mess up his monitor mix and then complain that he can't hear—so build a monitor mix for him and just let him use the Wheel of Me to get "more me."
Here's the best part: You can completely block any iOS device from accessing the network entirely, even if someone has the router password. That hacker who wanted to take over the show? Foiled!
A gigantic console in a small package.
If a StudioLive AI mixer were an analog console, it would have 4-foot-long channel strips packed with knobs and buttons or it would require a massive outboard rack of expensive signal processors!
That's because each channel and bus has its own studio-grade compressor, limiter, gate/expander, and 4-band parametric equalizer. Each input channel, aux and FX bus also has a highpass filter, and input channels have polarity invert.
It all fits into one remarkable processing and routing section known as the Fat Channel.
Unlike most competing digital mixers, there are no limitations or compromises, no shared resources, no figuring out what processing is available where. You have all of the processing available at all times.
Because StudioLive AI mixers have so much more processing power and blazing-fast RAM than previous StudioLive models, you can create two complete sets of EQ and dynamics-processor settings for every channel and bus and then make quick A/B comparisons at the touch of the Alt EQ & Dyn button. Does your guitar player use a Strat for some songs and Les Paul for others? Don't use up two channels, create two completely different Fat Channel settings for each guitar and access them with the press of a button before he's got the next guitar strap on.
It's like having two complete channel strips on every input and output—but simpler and more efficient!
Engaged by pressing any Select button, the StudioLive AI-series Fat Channel section delivers a compressor, limiter, gate/expander, and four-band parametric EQ (semi-parametric on the StudioLive 16.4.2AI and fully parametric on the 32.4.2AI, 24.4.2AI, and via SL Remote-AI and VSL-AI for the 16.4.2AI) on every channel and mix bus. You also get a highpass filter on every channel and aux bus and polarity invert for each channel—not to mention routing, panning, and scene and setting store and recall.
To let you get the most from all of this processing power without descending into menu purgatory, we designed the Fat Channel with clearly labeled, physical knobs; an ingenious, multifunction, 16-ladder LED display; an in-your-face Selected Channel display; and even a separate horizontal pan display. It's easy to instantly access any function and get clear, visible feedback. The bright blue Select button is fully illuminated only for the active channel or bus (including stereo-linked channels and buses), so you know at a glance which channel or bus you're processing.
StudioLive AI-series mixers have a new Quick Parameter Null feature that makes working with Fat Channel processing even easier. To return any Fat Channel parameter to its Zero Out scene setting, press and hold the Tap Tempo button and turn the parameter's encoder. Done.
We've noted before that a StudioLive AI mixer is a hardware/software ecosystem; the tightly integrated software adds key capabilities and contributes significantly to ease of use. A great example is the Rational Acoustics Smaart Measurement Technology™ that is integrated in PreSonus VSL-AI control software for Mac and Windows.
With Smaart, you can really put the StudioLive's 4-band parametric EQs to work improving the sound of your system. Precisely identify nasty feedback frequencies. Get your loudspeakers to play nicer with the room they're in. Set the correct subgroup output-delay time for remote speakers. And the implementation is user friendly, with wizards that help you get the job done — no degree in acoustical engineering needed.
Effects you'd expect from a $600 stand-alone processor. Or two.
You get four programmable, 32-bit, stereo DSP effects engines—two of them loaded with reverbs and two armed with delay effects that you can really use. Each stereo processor has its own dedicated internal FX bus, and you can use all four all of the time without compromising other resources.
The reverbs are so rich and detailed that you feel like you're there. Delays are precise. Slap echo sounds like old-school tape effects. And all 50 preset effects have easy-to-use parameter adjustments, tap tempo, store, recall, and Scene selection for ultimate creative flexibility.
Some of our competitors include a lot more than 50 digital effects. But frankly, many of their "effects" are so weird that they aren't good for much more than a hearty chuckle or the most drunken karaoke party in history.
Instead, we armed StudioLive with an essential library of serious, down-to-earth reverbs and delays, created by seasoned sound professionals. Each is useful, practical, and very rich, thanks to 32-bit floating-point processing and exquisite algorithms. None of them sound like a dog gargling—unless you want them to, since each has multiple adjustable parameters.

Plentiful graphic EQ.
With StudioLive AI-series mixers, you get graphic EQ on every aux bus and on the mains—all at the same time, without compromising other resources. In addition, each graphic EQ has an A/B option, so you can, for example, boost the bass for a rock band and then switch over to a "smiley face" for intermission program music.
Connect to VSL-AI over a FireWire connection, and you can use the Smaart Spectra™ Spectrograph and RTA and StudioLive EQs to quickly kill feedback building up in floor wedges before the musicians even notice it!
A wealth of dedicated analog I/O.
View the rear of a StudioLive AI-series mixer, and you'll see a familiar jackfield, with individual XLR mic and ¼" line inputs and TRS insert points on every channel, along with a wealth of other dedicated inputs and outputs. Every input channel and bus send has its own dedicated jack—no sharing, no compromises.
Unlike many competing mixers, StudioLive AI-series mixers have dedicated mix buses with physical outputs. Aux mix 1 always feeds the Aux 1 output, Aux mix 2 feeds the Aux 2 output, and so on. The same is true of the subgroups, the talkback bus, and the tape send/return. You never run short of outputs, and you never have to decide which bus goes to which jack. Wiring and routing are consistent and obvious.
StudioLive mixers also have XLR mic inputs, ¼" TRS line inputs, and analog insert points for every channel unlike most digital mixers in this price range.
You get analog direct channel outputs on DB25 connectors, too, with eight channels per connector.
With StudioLive, you never run short of analog I/O, and you never have to wonder which output a bus is feeding. This is analog connectivity with no compromises.
Inside, it's pure PreSonus.
Getting a great-sounding mix depends partly on your skill (assisted by StudioLive's ease of use, features, and integrated software) and partly how good the mixer's microphone preamps and converters are, how clean the signal path is, and how well the algorithms perform.
That's why you should choose a digital mixer made by PreSonus, a company already famous for its analog mic preamps, pristine digital interfaces, and well-regarded signal processors. And because StudioLive AI mixers were redesigned from the ground up, they sound even better than their predecessors.
The StudioLive's XMAX™ Class A preamplifiers deliver more headroom, deeper lows, smoother highs, and a richer overall sound than the preamps found in competing mixers. High-headroom, 32-bit floating-point processing is used for all digital mixing. The high-end Burr-Brown digital converters on every input and output are state-of-the art, with 118 dB dynamic range.
At PreSonus, we know that the mic preamplifier is a key component in the sonic quality of a recording. StudioLive AI-series mixers include custom-designed, high-voltage, discrete, XMAX Class A microphone preamplifiers that are suitable for use with all types of microphones.
The job of a microphone preamplifier in a digital mixer is to boost a microphone-level signal to line level before conversion to the digital domain. A good preamp boosts the level to almost 400 times that of the original signal, making the preamp one of the most important stages in an interface. A cheap, off-the-shelf, op-amp-type mic preamp delivers thin, noisy, harsh results.
But with XMAX preamps, the sonic quality is limited only by the microphones you plug into them.
XMAX preamplifiers are built with three key elements:
- High Voltage. The XMAX preamplifier runs on power rails of 30V. Most off-the-shelf, op-amp-based designs run on power rails of 10V to 18V. Higher-voltage power rails deliver more headroom, deeper lows, smoother highs, and a richer overall sound.
- Discrete components—not op-amps. We only use genuine transistors, resistors, and capacitors. Op-amps add noise, coloration, and harshness to a signal. Our discrete design delivers ultra-low noise and transparency.
- Class A. Class A circuits have no crossover distortion and deliver purer, clearer, and more musical results than the Class AB designs that are found in many preamps.
- The net result of the XMAX preamp design is high headroom, low noise, wide dynamic range, extended frequency response, and—most important—musicality and transparency, with smooth highs, solid deep lows, and everything in between.
The StudioLive AI mixer's synchronization to your computer is stable and robust, thanks to JetPLL™ synchronization technology, resulting in great stereo separation and clear, transparent audio.
Synchronization to your computer is stable and robust, thanks to JetPLL™ synchronization technology. JetPLL™ incorporates noise shaping to virtually remove all audio-band jitter, ensuring near-perfect clock performance and optimal converter performance when networking two or more digital-audio devices.
JetPLL quickly locks to any digital format through a wide range of frequencies and is extremely robust and tolerant of wide variations in clock frequencies.
As a result, you'll experience better stereo separation and clearer, more transparent audio.
The ease of analog meets the power of digital.
Among the employees of PreSonus, there are more band members than you can shake a mic stand at. All of us have lived with conventional mixers for years. And many of us have struggled with the less-than-intuitive interfaces of earlier digital mixers, with their bank switching, layers, nested menus, etc. Many of today's digital mixers have the same problems.
When you're mixing a live event or have an artist in the studio, you need to be able to work quickly. So when we designed StudioLive, one of our primary goals was to provide a familiar interface that would keep all critical controls visible and accessible —not buried inside multiple menus. And the few times you do need to access a menu, StudioLive AI-series mixers quickly get you to the page you need.
StudioLive mixers do not use banks or layers, so you always know where you are and what you're controlling. Once you learn that the Select button on each channel and bus accesses the Fat Channel processing section, everything makes total sense. Only the four stereo effects processors, the global system settings, and a few special features are accessed via the LCD. All key features you need to mix and record are right in front of you on the mixing surface.
Even the LCD pages are easily accessed, and in some cases the appropriate page automatically appears when you work with the related hardware button or control. For example, when a channel or output bus is selected, the Channel Info page opens in the LCD. From this page, you can view helpful information and customize the name for each channel and bus.
Sit down at a StudioLive AI mixer, and you see easily accessed, color-coded function buttons for Mute and Solo; rotary trim controls; and clearly labeled, individual knobs for EQ and dynamics processing. Aux sends have their own physical controls. Every channel has a big, bright meter display and a dedicated level fader that only serves that function.
The master section comes complete with Talkback, Monitor, Cue, and a choice of control-room sources. It looks just like the master section on an analog board but with far more power and flexibility.
Bottom line: If you've ever used an analog mixer, you'll be right at home with a StudioLive AI mixer. And even if you've never used a mixer before, you'll quickly be able to create professional mixes and recordings.
In contrast, many digital mixers make you constantly return to an LCD screen and navigate through its menus in order to assign and control processing and routing. Which channel or bus you're working with depends in part on which bank you've selected, so you have to keep track of that. When you're mixing a live show and need to fix something in a hurry, good luck getting to the needed feature in time. If you're used to an analog board, the learning curve can be brutal. Even if you didn't learn to mix on analog boards, why go through all that pain?
With StudioLive AI-series mixers, you can work quickly and focus on mixing and recording. It's a lot easier to do your best work and enjoy the gig!
To ensure you can hear just what you need to hear instantly, with minimal fuss, we paid close attention to solos and mutes. These features have been considerably enhanced in StudioLive AI-series mixers.
StudioLive AI series mixers offer convenient, backlit Solo buttons for every channel, subgroup, and aux bus. The original StudioLive mixers supported one Solo mode: Latch. In Latch Solo mode, you can solo multiple channels and buses at once. It's the mode people tend to use most often, and it's still the default Solo mode in the StudioLive AI-series mixers.
With AI-series mixers, you also can choose Radio Solo mode, in which you can solo only one channel or bus at a time. Still not what you want? Choose CR Solo mode, where soloing any channel will automatically patch the Solo bus to the Monitor bus and disable any other buses that are currently engaged in the Solo bus. While in CR Solo mode, you can solo multiple channels and buses at once, but you can only patch one input or bus to the monitor bus at a time.
Latch Solo and Radio Solo modes allow the Monitor bus to function as a summing amp. CR Solo mode is more like the old-skool Solo you remember from analog mixers. Now you can choose whichever Solo mode is best for a given situation. Don't thank us — it was your suggestion!
Another new feature in the StudioLive AI mixers is Solo Clear. To clear all solos, you simply press and hold the Tap Tempo button while simultaneously pressing any Solo button on the mixer. All Solo buttons will be disengaged.
All StudioLive AI mixers offer backlit Mute buttons for each channel and aux. The StudioLive 32.4.2AI adds a feature that makes the mutes even more useful: six mute groups with All On and All Off buttons. But we didn't leave StudioLive 24.4.2AI and 16.4.2AI users out in the cold: VSL-AI provides mute groups even when the mixing surface doesn't!
A mute group allows you to mute and unmute multiple channels and buses with the press of a single button. With the six mute groups on the StudioLive 32.4.2AI mixer (or in VSL-AI for StudioLive 24.4.2AI and 16.4.2AI), you could, for example, assign the drum mics to Mute Group 1, the other instruments to Mute Group 2, the background vocalists to Mute Group 3, all the aux buses to Mute Group 4, all four FX buses to Mute Group 5, and every channel on the mixer to Mute Group 6.
So during an acoustic jam, you can mute all the drum mics with one button. When the lead singer introduces the band and says "Hello, New Orleans!" you can mute all of the effects assigned to his vocal. When the band goes on break, you can mute all of the channels at once. And when its time to break down the stage and start unplugging things, you can just lower the main fader and mute all the stage monitors with one button.
Creating a mute group is quick and easy: Just mute the desired channels and buses and press and hold a Mute Group button. The button will flash for one second to indicate it is storing the group, and then will remain illuminated.
Want to mute all channels and buses? Hit the All On button. An All Off button lets you instantly unmute all muted channels and buses.
We couldn't add mute groups to the StudioLive 24.4.2AI and 16.4.2AI because of their smaller mixing surfaces. But give us an inch of space, and we'll find a cool way to use it — and the StudioLive 32.4.2AI gave us just enough space to add this extremely useful feature.
Complete store and recall—instantly.
Two factors work against getting that Perfect Mix with an analog mixer. First, the Perfect Mix can be hard to reproduce a week, day, or hour after you perfect it. And second, a good mix should be dynamic: levels, effects, and EQ should be tailored to each song or segment of the show, service, or presentation. This adds up to a lot of settings to remember and reset at every performance.
That's where the power of digital comes in: StudioLive lets you save all of your digital settings for quick setup and recall. Unlike some digital mixers, StudioLive makes it very quick and easy.
With StudioLive mixers, you can save scenes that include every setting on the mixer—or save just the Fat Channel settings. Copy-and-paste settings across multiple channels. Save individual DSP effects for ultimate ease, speed, and control. It's quick and easy, thanks to straightforward, clearly marked Copy, Load, and Save buttons.
And of course you can name and store an unlimited number of settings and scenes on your laptop with Virtual StudioLive-AI. There, saving and loading scenes and settings is a simple matter of drag-and-drop. It can't get much easier!
The StudioLive 32.4.2AI makes saving and recalling scenes even faster and more convenient with six user-assignable Quick Scene buttons. We added Quick Scenes to VSL-AI for StudioLive 24.4.2AI and 16.4.2AI users too; with Active Integration, StudioLive AI-series mixers aren't limited to how many buttons will fit on the control surface.
The Quick Scenes buttons allow you to create a Scene without storing it to permanent memory and giving it a name. This is especially useful when mixing multiple bands that you might not ever mix again. You can also use this to have important stored Scenes at your fingertips.
This means that for fixed applications like clubs, churches, and auditoriums, you can always count on the same sound and can fine-tune Scenes for different songs and call them up instantly. And it lets rank amateur volunteers successfully operate a StudioLive AI-series mixer.
(Note that only the StudioLive 32.4.2AI has Quick Scenes on the control surface.)
To further ease and speed your workflow, we've included a whole library of individual channel settings as starting points for optimizing the sound of instruments, vocals, and spoken word. New in StudioLive AI-series mixers, these presets, as well as your custom settings, can be organized and browsed by category so you can quickly find your favorite vocal preset without scrolling through horn and guitar presets. An Automatic AutoStore feature regularly saves your current settings in case the power fails.
"WOW! How did you get that snare to sound so good?"
Don't tell them it was one of the 50 StudioLive Fat Channel channel presets.
StudioLive's Fat Channel lets you apply the equivalent of a six-foot rack of signal processors to every input. If you're an experienced sound person, you'll love all the options. But if you're new to pro audio, gating, compression, limiting, semi-parametric equalization, and so on, can seem pretty complicated—which is why we've built in 50 excellent preset starting points.
Before we released the first StudioLive, we sent some out to professional sound mixers and engineers, let them tweak to their heart's content under actual live and studio conditions, and then stored the results in factory presets. You get the benefit of their years of experience at making drums, percussion, guitars, keyboards, horns, vocals, and spoken word sound their best.
And of course you can alter, rename, and generally customize each preset and save it in any of 50 empty storage locations. Here's a sample:
- Kick, Funk, Jazz,
- Fat Snare and Snare Crackalak
- Toms Low and Hi Overhead
- Rock
- and 9 more

Which StudioLive is best for you?
Why choose the StudioLive 32.4.2AI rather than the StudioLive 24.4.2AI, StudioLive 16.4.2AI, or StudioLive 16.0.2?
The StudioLive 32.4.2AI is the new top-of-the-line, and in most respects, it is very similar to the StudioLive 24.4.2AI and 16.4.2AI. The most obvious differences are that the 32.4.2AI has more channels and aux buses than the other two AI-series models. It's also the only StudioLive mixer with Quick Scenes and mute groups available from the mixing surface. (The StudioLive 24.4.2AI and 16.4.2AI have these features in VSL-AI.) There are a few other differences, as well.
Although the three StudioLive AI-series mixers are virtually identical in many respects, there are some noteworthy differences, as shown in the table below.
Bottom line: If you don't need 32 channels and 14 auxes, can live without Quick Scenes and mute groups on your mixing surface, and would like to have a smaller footprint (the 16.4.2AI is rack-mountable and comes with rack ears)—not to mention spend less money—the StudioLive 24.4.2AI and 16.4.2AI are great choices.

If your needs and budget are more modest, consider the StudioLive 16.0.2 rather than a StudioLive AI-series mixer. The 16.0.2 doesn't have the power of Active Integration but it's inexpensive, compact, lightweight, and ultra-portable. Furthermore, it has a cool feature that no other StudioLive mixer offers: MIDI.
Having already compared the three AI-series mixers, we'll focus here on the differences between the two 16-channel models: StudioLive 16.4.2AI and 16.0.2.
Note that while the StudioLive 16.0.2 does not offer the many advantages of Active Integration, it is lighter and more compact than the StudioLive AI mixers, and it's considerably less expensive.
The StudioLive 16.0.2 also has a very cool feature that the larger StudioLive AI mixers don't offer: MIDI control over main output level, effects levels and routing, and Scene change. It has MIDI I/O on standard 5-pin DIN jacks—perfect for remote control from a MIDI footpedal or other controller—and it can serve as a standard MIDI interface for your computer. The StudioLive 16.0.2 also can send and receive MIDI over FireWire, so you can automate its MIDI features from a DAW.

A 94-year-old Minneapolis man is accused of commanding a Nazi SS-led unit during World War II, and FOX 9 News spoke with a legal expert about what comes next for Michael Karkoc.
Will he be deported? Will he face trial for war crimes? All are questions waiting to be answered as the complex investigations begin -- but they may take years to be answered.
The Associated Press broke the story days ago, and has provided documents that reportedly show Karkoc was a leader of the Ukrainian Self Defense Legion, something he apparently admitted in war memoirs he published nearly 20 years ago in his native country.
The group fought on the side of the Nazis and is accused of atrocious war crimes in Poland and Ukraine, including burning villages with women and children inside. While Karkoc hasn't been linked directly to those attacks, evidence allegedly puts him at the scene.
Yet, when Karkoc entered the U.S. in 1949, records obtained by the Associated Press show he claimed he did not serve in the military during the war. If he misrepresented himself to obtain citizenship nearly 65 years ago, that would likely spark American action against him.
"That is standard ground for revoking citizenship," said Fred Morrison, law professor at the University of Minnesota.
Morrison, an expert in constitutional and international law, explained that the government would likely begin deportation hearings even though the process is time consuming. At Karkoc's advanced age, he may not live to see them to completion.
"It's a couple years, at least," Morrison said.
Morrison says it's less clear whether countries like Poland and Germany will file war crime charges 70 years after the fact. So far, both have expressed interest in prosecution.
"It's not really the side of the war you are on," he said. "It's the fact of the annihilation of a village or two as retaliation, which is against the standard laws of war."
The Associated Press also reported that members of the unit Karkoc allegedly commanded were blacklisted from entering the United States.
Karkoc's family vehemently denies the allegations.
"My father was never a Nazi," Andrij Karkos said. "It's allegation, hearsay, implications and associations or conjecture, but it is notably lacking in proof or evidence."
On Sunday, congregants at Karkoc's beloved Ukranian church in his northeast Minneapolis neighborhood made it crystal clear that media attention is not welcome there.

MRM - 5-HTP 100 mg. - 60 Vegetarian Capsules
MRM 5-HTP 100 mg enhances mood and sleep patterns and supports weight management. In the body 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin is found in the brain, blood platelets and cells of the gastrointestinal tract. Since serotonin is found in the brain and central nervous system, it has many implications in cognition, mental health and sleep patterns. MRM 5-HTP 100 mg has shown an ability to increase serotonin levels. 5-HTP is an extract from a natural plant seed from Africa (Griffonia) and not from fermented tryptophan. In studies on sleep deprivation, 5-HTP supplementation exhibited promising results. Early research studies show that supplementing with 5-HTP can increase availability of serotonin, which in turn increases production of melatonin. Raising melatonin concentrations has shown to have positive effects on sleep patterns. In a six-week clinical study, subjects that supplemented with 5-HTP were able to reduce carbohydrate intake, which significantly supported weight management.
About Metabolic Response Modifiers (MRM) MRM produces a variety of industry leading supplements in a number of sports nutrition and health supplement categories. MRM's scientific expertise, superior ingredients, and ability to stay at the forefront of market trends and consumer needs have given them a distinct competitive advantage over other manufacturers.

LOS ANGELES (KCAL/CNN) – The woman infamously known as 'Octomom' could be in more legal trouble, even after pleading not guilty in a welfare fraud case.
A judge sentenced Nadya Suleman to probation after she proved that she paid more than $26,000 back to the state.
Suleman was charged with welfare fraud after accepting money despite being paid thousands of dollars for personal appearances.
She was charged with failure to report nearly $30,000 of extra income last year.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - A police officer was shot and killed early Friday at a Walmart in Central Texas, and a suspect is in custody, police said.
Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo said the officer was shot in the neck and died at the scene.
The officer was responding to a call about a drunk man inside the store around 2:30 a.m., Acevedo said. The suspect attacked the officer as soon as he arrived at the store and the officer didn't have a chance to even pull out his own weapon.
"The suspect produced a semiautomatic pistol and shot the officer at point blank range," Acevedo said.
The police chief declined to provide the officer's name, but said he has two daughters, aged 2 and 6 years.
"This was a routine call," Acevedo said. "What makes our job deadly is that there is no routine call."
Two Walmart employees tackled and held the suspect and locked down the store until another police officer arrived to arrest him. Acevedo praised their actions, saying they did all they were supposed to do. He said store video captured the entire incident.
Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-Mart Stores Inc. did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
Austin city manager Chris Ott lamented the officer's death.
"It is a sad day for the city of Austin to lose a member of our family," Ott said.

James Wong to visit Pershore College
6:18pm Thursday 16th January 2014 in News By Sarah Taylor
PERSHORE College is looking forward to welcoming green fingered celebrity James Wong for an evening of all things horticultural next month.
The BBC broadcaster, best selling author and all round Botany geek will be presenting the evening on Tuesday, February 4 at the college, in Avon Bank, Pershore, from 7.30pm.
James was most recently seen on our screens on BBC Two's Great British Garden Revival and will be giving the free talk with the aim of inspiring young people to think about horticulture as a career.
He said: "A career in horticulture is often completely unfairly dismissed as being un-academic, mundane and poorly paid. But that is simply not true.
"In reality horticulture can be one of the most dynamic, creative and rewarding industries out there - with immense professional opportunities to earn a fantastic living."
Tamsin Jones, Acting Principal at Pershore College, added that the college were "absolutely delighted to welcome such a high-profile speaker".
The talk is free to attend, but places are limited, so to book, visit warwickshire.ac.uk/jameswong.
