Thanks
@Southwesttone. Thanks to ALL of the other "Fractal Family" members who made this Vai Academy into such a Fractal-focused event for EVERYONE there. I hope I was able to provide everyone with the best possible experiences, on behalf of both Fractal Audio Systems and Steve Vai. Working on stage and off with Steve, Devin, Larry, Plini and the Dreamcatcher staff was fantastic. We improved live rigs, shared "secrets", created new things, and deepened both professional relationships and friendships. The "breakout" classes will stand out in my memory as a perfect example of what sets our community apart-- filled with intelligent, engaged, interesting and talented people. I'll say this: a week of real-life face-to-face interactions can offset a year of the typical downsides of online interaction. Everyone was so polite and personable. As for the many new people (or "upgraders") who purchased the demo units or ordered new gear from our store during the week, congratulations and welcome aboard! (Here's a human interest story for you... one of the "campers" bought an Axe-Fx III, and then GAVE his Axe-Fx II to one of the other families in attendance!)
If you were there and care to say hello, chime in here. I'll try to post some of my pics below.
