Styx in Concert

The purpose of this site is to pass on some of the knowledge that I have gained in the field of Live Sound Production. I will post articles on various subjects regarding live sound production. I am also putting up some reprint articles that I find on subjects of interest.

I am also adding some videos and a music player to the site. If you would like to listen to some music while you surf the site click here to Play Music. A Player will open in a pop-up window. You can minimize the player and it will continue to play until it runs out of music until you close the pop-up window or it runs out of music even if you leave the site.

Sound Articles

I have added a new section to the site. I am collecting some reprinted articles in this section. I will probably move some of the reprint articles that I now have in the main section to the reprint section. Below is a feed with the latest articles from the new section along with a short blurb.
