Save Our Stages Act
Save Our Stages Act
Making a Scene Brings you a rundown of the Save Our Stages Act

With the Covid 19 Shutdown of the gig economy, the small music venue is lifeblood for the touring indie artist. Democrate Senator Amy Klobuchar and Republican Senator John Cornyn has proposed the Save our Stages Act to help small venues weather this shutdown of Live Music.

The NIVA - National Independent Venue Association is helping push the movement to get the Republican controlled Senate to pass this legislation so it can move through the House and ultimately to the Presidents Desk.

You can help support this effort with their easy to fill out Senate/House Representative Form. It cost nothing to support his important legislation to help keep our touring system intact.

Tape Plugin Shoots don't Make Sense
This is the microphone that is modeled on the AKG C414 EB which was produced in the early 1970's and was used on countless hit recordings. This microphone brings back the famous CK12 Brass Capsule which was used by AKG in the highly coveted microphone. AKG has since moved to a teflon based capsule on their new microphones but Warm Audio has created some innovative design to make the brass construction cost effective and brought those savings to their customers.

I can see a future where Warm Audio Microphones may become as coveted as the ones they are fashioned after.
