If confirmation were needed that the era of digital mixing had arrived, then mid November was the time. In a period of frenzied activity Britannia Row Productions had a remarkable eight Yamaha PM1Ds working simultaneously.

"We’re used to being busy," said Brit Row’s logistics planner Roly Oliver, "but even by our standards to have eight PM1Ds out at the same time was a significant event. The applications were a real mix, from events like MTV and TOTP Awards to tours by artists as varied as Richard Ashcroft, Robbie Williams, Jamiroquai and Cliff Richard. Craig David took two boards for a series of TV promotional appearances all over Europe.

"This is a prime example of our commitment to new technology," said Brit Row’s director Bryan Grant. "As a company we actively seek out what equipment best supports our client needs, and both the up and coming, and established engineers are wanting digital. Having assessed the potential of digital mixing over the past two years, these recent events confirm our belief that this equipment is an integral part of the modern audio system."
