Tablet computers such as Apple iPad being used to control live audio for band performances
A common scene at any live music event is to see the band on a stage, and somewhere in the middle of the listening area a table setup with a mixing console eating up precious landscape.

Bovinova 2.0 / 2012 was a great experience! Did you miss it? If so, there’s always Bovinova 3.0 in 2013!
Okay, so this last weekend was amazing… Bovinova 2.0 blew the first event out of the water! The bar has been raised considerably, so Bovinova 3.0 next year is going to have to be exponentially cooler to top it! What IS Bovinova you ask? It is a big (no, bigger than “big”) BBQ! They roast an entire cow over a …
