Abstract: A system for transferring metadata between an audio mixing console and a digital audio workstation connected by an audio link and a computer network. The audio mixing console and the digital audio system implement an Ethernet-based communication protocol for sending messages between them over the network connection, the messages including metadata specifying a plurality of settings on the audio mixing console corresponding to audio information received by the audio mixing console during a live performance. The audio information is sent to the digital audio system over the high bandwidth connection. The high bandwidth connection can also be used to transfer the metadata. The transfer of metadata between the console and the digital audio workstation facilitates new digital audio archiving, virtual live mixing, and virtual soundcheck workflows.

Abstract: A glove interface apparatus for computer-based devices includes a glove having a plurality of contacts and a thumb contact that together render a completed electrical circuit when the thumb contact touches any of the plurality of contacts. Each of the resulting circuits is configured to present a unique voltage which is coupled to a processor which determines a character signal representative of the unique voltage and transmits that signal to a compatible computer-based device.
