Topics Discussed (01/28/2026):
The "Thinking Out Loud with Friends of SoundBroker" panel reflects on their 296th episode, focusing on their experiences and key takeaways from the NAMM show [01:20]. A significant portion of the discussion with Devan Sheets highlights "De-Feedback," an AI-driven audio plugin demonstrated to show how it can instantly eliminate feedback and noise floor without changing the character of the vocal [07:51]. The group featuring Ken Porter, Gregory Baker, David Dansky, Bruce Fallis and 10 other industry professionals explores the technical side of this innovation, particularly its ability to operate at zero latency by utilizing an impulse response (IR) filter rather than using vocal cloning or generative emulation [17:12].

Beyond technical specifications, the panel engages in a philosophical debate about the ethics of AI and vocal correction in live music [14:35]. They compare the "purity" of traditional sound reinforcement—often likened to a museum-like preservation of sound—against the use of autotune and modern enhancement to meet audience expectations [46:13]. The discussion covers various scenarios, from the use of vocal pitch correction in houses of worship [33:52] to a successful case study of using modern micing and amplification to enhance a classical performance by Joshua Bell, ultimately arguing that the goal of technology is to serve the specific needs of the performance and the audience [01:15:13].

Doug Kocsis, President of DK Capital will join the MasterMind as well as a host of our peers to answer your questions.

I am hoping that Michael Strickland will pop in for a few seconds this week, but as of yet I have not heard back from him. There is a lot going in Congress and I have my fingers crossed that he will be there to update his in person, otherwise I will have to read his email from last night.

I urge you to share this podcast and join the thousands that have experienced our weekly ongoing interactive safe space in order to discuss and ask questions from our peers on the current status of our concert production industry and tips on how to survive and thrive in these "Covid 19 Times".

This week they will discuss and take your questions regarding what NAMM is doing to assist in bringing us together as an industry and ideas in order to survive these difficult times including the lobby efforts of Congress and the latest updates affecting all of us. Also breaking news about their latest efforts on lobbying Congress for the Heals/Restart bill and getting our industry the funds we desperately need.

Joining me on the panel again will be Terry Lowe the founder of PLSN & FOH, Michael Eddy, editor of Stage Directions, and George Petersen the editor FOH, (If you are not familiar with this amazing group of journalist giants, I have included a brief synopsis at the end of this email). Also a host of industry professionals asking their questions. Moderated by Jan Landy.
