On the topic of this sound installation in a sculpture exhibition,
Thanks for teh suggestion to do the 4-chanel subwoofer feed
derivation in LOGIC, with an aggregate-device 5 channel output, which
I accomplished. the amp rig, using the gear I jhave on hand (larger
stuff) was still way more bulk and complexity than I was happy with
so I've minimalised the show gear to a MacBook, a 4ch convertor and a
pair of 2.1 plate amps. Elegant... as long as it works consistantly.
The laptop is running a simple 4-track-file playback in LOGIC on
REPEAT as a 24-7 thing on the laptop into a 4ch Digital>Analog
convertor into the amps.
As a set-and-forget day-to-day thing, I'm thinking of having the
whole room system on a single power distribution unit (for gallery
atendants' one-switch ease of operation) EXCEPT for the laptop
which would be on its own power feed that would NOT switch off adn
just run 24/7.
Should I be thinking about things like ENERGY settings or other
system prefs that either might interfere with LOGIC and cause it to
hiccup, or things that would be a Good THing (like shutting the
screen off)?
Security issues..
physically: with the laptop hidden inside a walled-up small cart
along with the sound amps, any sort of physical retraints anyone
knows about?
operationally: with the program running, is there a way to make the
computer un-accessible?
Thanks
