What is the fastest and best way to train up on the Pearl?. I am waiting for the training department to get back to me but unfortunatly I do not have a lot of time (1 1/2 weeks)

It is quite an intuitive board to use. If it is only you who needs to learn I suggest downloading the Pearl Simulator, Visualiser and the Demo Theatre (only way to use them together for free) and the manual and have a play.

If you are reasonably experienced with other consoles, then I don't think you will find it particularly difficult. I would say the biggest hurdle is to understand the patching system as getting this right makes all the difference.
I would also recommend familiarising yourself with the difference between 'record by channel' and 'record by fixture'.

Another way is to find someone you know or a venue locally who can guide you through it. Where abouts are you?

/Edit: doh! now I read your location... maybe there is someone reading who is local to you?

already been playing with heads in the conservatory!!. Wife is so far putting up with it.

Haha! Well, if you've got a console there then you'll be fine.

Any questions, feel free to PM me.

I will, Thanks for now
