But then there is still the questions as to what to do with those waves you have on a hard drive.
I guess you could drag around an AC powered echo Layla 1U 19" rack-mount.
There are people out there doing professional shows and installations with DACs I built and sent to them.
Full length pro shows can be bought as wave files.
LaserBoy has been all about bridging the gaps between ILDA and waves..... from the very beginning.
$20 for a sound device and $40 for the correction amp seems like a no-brainer to me.
You know it works. You've seen it.
It's also future proof. There will always be waves and there will always be cheap audio DACs.
The Layla is a legacy device. They are no longer made. Sure there are replacements, but you can't do a laser show with a device that is DC decoupled. .... well, not a good one, anyway. And who cares? It's not like it's hard to modify a sound device; ADAT, Layla or otherwise.
