Ibiza’s DC10 to be shut for one year, possibly forever

Posted: 06 Oct 2008 10:12 PM CDT

DC10 club in Ibiza has been fighting an uphill battle with the island's authorities for the whole season, but last week the club's future seemed bleak after a council meeting in Sant Josep slapped the owners with a €300,000 fine and a one year closure. The problem is, the authorities have found DC10's ultimate weak point (we can't believe it took them 10 years to find it) - it only has a legal capacity of 65, which means the club has absolutely no chance of survival, unless they can somehow secure a license.

2008 AES show gear highlights

Posted: 06 Oct 2008 08:00 PM CDT

Instead, the focus was on plug-ins, microphones, hardware effects, monitors and the like. While the toys on display may not be as glamorous as flashy tone generators, this gear is an equally important component of a producers arsenal. Here are some of the announcements that caught our attention.
