Not a computer sound card, but a professional mixer board. I just saw a demo of a mixer running a program, and the sliders move by themselves. How does this work? What kind of mechanism moves the sliders? To me, any kind of motor could introduce lots or electrical noise, so I just can\u2019t figure this out.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

I have no knowledge of professional audio. That said, I assume you’re thinking of the old analog mixing boards. It seems more likely the actual mixing is done by software today. The board would be a fancy USB controller. A feedback motor moving the sliders would not introduce noise, if the slider just returns a digital position reading.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

That makes sense. <\/p>\n

The amount of digital control available for audio systems is astonishing. Time-coded cues, switching and mixing, digital prerecordings, wow.<\/p>\n

On our last cruise we got to take a tour of the main theater, from back stage to the lighting and sound panels. Lighting was in what I could swear was built as a projection booth, and the sound board was at the back of the \u201cfloor\u201d seating. There were two Mac Minis, a couple of other computer-looking boxes, and like 5 different monitors. Plus the whole mixer board. When the sound director demonstrated how almost everything for a regular performance was run by a program, one monitor showed a bunch of tracks (different mics in this case) and the faders just danced around.<\/p>\n

It seems that the performers had to be just as spot-on as the programmed mixer. Singing, dancing, dodging scenery, all while the entire theater is moving at 22 knots through who knows what kind of seas. Kinda makes performing on a land-based stage seem \u201ceasy\u201d in comparison.<\/p>\n

Anyway, this tour managed to play to several of my geek-isms: computers, sound systems, stage work\/theater, lighting, etc. And seeing an ad for something or other with video of a mixing board doing its thing reminded me of that tour.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

Motorised faders have been a thing since the late 70s. (Neve Necam System). Only on highest-end consoles back then. <\/p>\n

I know that Motown experimented with fader automation back in the 60s.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

This reminds me of the keyboard in the final sequence in Close Encounters of the Third Kind<\/i>, which (by computer) starts playing itself. I now assume that sort of thing also works with actuators controlled by a computer.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Nah. That was just a gimmick. Player pianos had moving keys, because you need to mechanically motivate the hammer to hit the strings. <\/p>\n

A synth or other electronic instrument has no need for that, since its keyboard is just an optional input device used for triggering circuits. <\/p>\n

They just rigged up something to animate the keys.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
