He is also a partner at ASAP Sound, a collective providing turnkey solutions for entertainment applications worldwide.<br \/>In the past, designing playback systems often required Carlton to integrate multiple devices from different manufacturers, resulting in complex and fragmented workflows. With DirectOut Smart Audio Platforms, he found a solution capable of addressing even the most demanding system designs. His use of the PRODIGY Series is replacing this multi-vendor approach with a unified, integrated platform that consolidates multiple mission-critical functionalities within a single, failsafe device.<\/p>\n<p>Starting out as a musician, Carlton&rsquo;s career&nbsp;evolved into the technical side of music production. After building guitars for Fender, a chance encounter led him on tour as a guitar technician with 30 Seconds to Mars,&nbsp;an experience that would shape his entire professional path.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;<em>For 30 Seconds to Mars, the demand on their technology was huge, it pushed me to become better quickly,&rdquo; he recalls. &ldquo;Their playback system had to be completely adaptable, it wasn&rsquo;t just hit play on a click track and forget, we were jumping and looping, so I became proficient very quickly.<\/em>&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ffb-id-9hi3ph30 fg-col col-xs-12 col-md-5 fg-text-dark\"><a class=\"ffb-id-9hi3pp3r  responsive-image-wrapper freshframework-lightbox-image fg-text-dark\" href=\"https:\/\/www.directout.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/EF359C38-2519-4F43-87D0-68EE9ED0592C_1_105_c.jpeg\" title=\"Illenium&#039;s 28ch redundant playback rig, featuring a PRODIGY.MP\"><img decoding=\"async\"  class=\"fg-image  img-responsive full-width\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.directout.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/EF359C38-2519-4F43-87D0-68EE9ED0592C_1_105_c.jpeg\"  alt=\"Illenium&#039;s 28ch redundant playback rig, featuring a PRODIGY.MP\"  title=\"\"   ><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><style><\/style><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><section class=\"ffb-id-9hi3qb6q fg-section fg-text-dark\"><div class=\"fg-container container fg-container-large fg-container-lvl--1\"><div class=\"fg-row row\" ><div class=\"ffb-id-9hi3qb6u fg-col col-xs-12 col-md-7 fg-text-dark\"><a class=\"ffb-id-9hi3qb70  responsive-image-wrapper freshframework-lightbox-image fg-text-dark\" href=\"https:\/\/www.directout.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Linkin-park.jpeg\" title=\"Linkin Park\u2019s live show and performance stations, featuring a PRODIGY.MP\"><img decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.directout.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Linkin-park.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.directout.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/freshizer\/838ea45e4f84e762058484bbd42d9313_Linkin-park-320-c-100.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.directout.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/freshizer\/838ea45e4f84e762058484bbd42d9313_Linkin-park-768-c-100.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.directout.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/freshizer\/838ea45e4f84e762058484bbd42d9313_Linkin-park-992-c-100.jpeg 992w\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  class=\"fg-image  img-responsive full-width\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.directout.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Linkin-park.jpeg\"  alt=\"Linkin Park\u2019s live show and performance stations, featuring a PRODIGY.MP\"  title=\"\"   ><\/a><\/div><div class=\"ffb-id-9hi3qb6r fg-col col-xs-12 col-md-5 fg-text-dark\"><div class=\"ffb-id-9hi3qb6t fg-paragraph ff-richtext text-left    fg-text-dark\"><\/p>\n<p>When the tour came to an end, Carlton founded Nerdmatics, officially launching the company that would later support artists across a wide range of genres. <\/p>\n<p>By 2014, he was working with Linkin Park, and soon his client list expanded to include Maluma, Becky G, Drake and Kendrick Lamar, among many others.&nbsp;Despite the diversity of artists and productions, one element has remained constant across his systems: DirectOut. <\/p>\n<p>The platform provides the stability and flexibility required to build playback rigs that can respond dynamically to live performance, rather than locking artists into rigid, predetermined structures.<\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><style><\/style><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><section class=\"ffb-id-9hi3r67t fg-section fg-text-dark\"><div class=\"fg-container container fg-container-large fg-container-lvl--1\"><div class=\"fg-row row\" ><div class=\"ffb-id-9hi3r681 fg-col col-xs-12 col-md-12 fg-text-dark\"><div class=\"ffb-id-9hi3r683 fg-paragraph ff-richtext text-left    fg-text-dark\"><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;<em>Most big pop shows now are completely locked in; every show is exactly the same, even the interaction with the audience. When you&rsquo;re dealing with automation for moving stages, or pyrotechnics, it&rsquo;s dangerous to have the artist in control, but for music and lighting, it doesn&rsquo;t have to be that way,&rdquo;<\/em> he continues. &ldquo;<em>The desire for spontaneous live music, a shared singular experience that can&rsquo;t be anticipated, is really exciting and it&rsquo;s entirely possible to combine that with playback if you have the right set up.<\/em>&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><style>@media (min-width:992px) { .ffb-id-9hi3r67t{ padding-top: 15px;}}<\/style><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><section class=\"ffb-id-9hi3ruk8 fg-section fg-text-dark\"><div class=\"fg-container container fg-container-large fg-container-lvl--1\"><div class=\"fg-row row\" ><div class=\"ffb-id-9hi3rukc fg-col col-xs-12 col-md-7 fg-text-dark\"><div class=\"ffb-id-9hi3ruke fg-paragraph ff-richtext text-left    fg-text-dark\"><\/p>\n<p>Finding the right setup has been an ongoing process of refinement. A major turning point came in 2018, when Carlton was tasked with designing a system for a stadium show for Riot Games. Searching for a solution that could meet the scale and reliability demands of the project, he discovered DirectOut&rsquo;s PRODIGY.MC.<\/p>\n<p><em>&ldquo;When I built these systems in the past, I would probably be combining six or seven companies, I was basically a system integrator,&rdquo;<\/em> he continues. <em>&ldquo;It wasn&rsquo;t easy because if there was an issue and I had to call support, and each brand would blame the next. Then DirectOut arrived and it was the first all in one system. I now have a built-in switcher, multiple styles of format and network protocol - Dante, MADI, Ravenna, Soundgrid - and they&rsquo;re all compatible.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><\/em>A key advantage for Carlton is the modular architecture of the PRODIGY Series: what began with a single PRODIGY.MC configured with a Dante card and analog backup quickly grew into a long-term collaboration. Today, DirectOut forms the backbone of many Nerdmatics systems, including a recent installation for ILLENIUM at the Sphere: a 128 channel redundant audio system built around two Dual Network Dante.Dante SRC.IO cards.<em><\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ffb-id-9hi3ruk9 fg-col col-xs-12 col-md-5 fg-text-dark\"><a class=\"ffb-id-9hi3rukb  responsive-image-wrapper freshframework-lightbox-image fg-text-dark\" href=\"https:\/\/www.directout.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DirectOut_Nerdmatics_10.jpeg\" title=\"Playback and autotune system for Becky G featuring a PRODIGY.MP\"><img decoding=\"async\"  class=\"fg-image  img-responsive full-width\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.directout.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DirectOut_Nerdmatics_10.jpeg\"  alt=\"Playback and autotune system for Becky G featuring a PRODIGY.MP\"  title=\"\"   ><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><style>@media (min-width:992px) { \n.ffb-id-9hi3r67t{ \npadding-top: 15px;\n\n}\n}<\/style><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><section class=\"ffb-id-9hi3sv38 fg-section fg-text-dark\"><div class=\"fg-container container fg-container-large fg-container-lvl--1\"><div class=\"fg-row row\" ><div class=\"ffb-id-9hi3sv39 fg-col col-xs-12 col-md-12 fg-text-dark\"><div class=\"ffb-id-9hi3sv3b fg-paragraph ff-richtext text-left    fg-text-dark\"><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the dedicated globcon user interface, global system control can be managed by a single operator and even accessed remotely when needed, enabling ongoing support regardless of physical location.<\/p>\n<p>By keeping audio routing and channel management within DirectOut devices, while handling musical elements through a flexible MIDI based workflow, Carlton maintains a system that feels musical rather than mechanical.

It&rsquo;s much more efficient than bouncing files after a long day, it's not just audio tracks and waveforms. DirectOut delivers sample rate conversion and fail over redundancy, while MIDI control allows artists to move freely through their set, enabling them to react to the live audience and cater their set to their wants and needs.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Through platforms like Patreon, Carlton actively shares his system designs, helping others understand how a DirectOut powered approach can support creativity rather than constrain it. <\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><style>@media (min-width:992px) { .ffb-id-9hi3tbc3{ padding-top: 10px;}}<\/style><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><section class=\"ffb-id-9hi3u2ak fg-section fg-text-dark\"><div class=\"fg-container container fg-container-large fg-container-lvl--1\"><div class=\"fg-row row\" ><div class=\"ffb-id-9hi3u2ao fg-col col-xs-12 col-md-12 fg-text-dark\"><div class=\"ffb-id-9hi3u2aq fg-paragraph ff-richtext text-left    fg-text-dark\"><\/p>\n<p>For him, a robust playback system does not need to be rigid or overly technical; it can be expressive, adaptive and responsive. <em>&ldquo;The modular part of my DirectOut systems is super important because people change their minds last minute.
