Operating as a non-profit, it merges underground culture and immersive art with a year-round commitment to ecological regeneration and zero-waste practices.<\/p>\n<p>Waking Life features two main electronic stages, Floresta and Outro Lado, each with demanding technical requirements. Floresta operates almost continuously, pausing for only four to five hours each day to reset the area and carry out sound checks. Outro Lado runs non-stop for 24 hours, leaving virtually no margin for technical errors, as any issue is immediately noticeable to thousands of dancers.<\/p>\n<p>Waking Life's Floresta stage represents a demanding technical setup, built around a high-end d&amp;b&nbsp;audiotechnik system with KSL array modules and SL-SUBS, that is deployed across the front of the stage directly beneath the DJ table. Running a stage like this for days on end, with DJ changeovers happening constantly, calls for an audio chain that is both flexible and highly reliable.<\/p>\n<p><\/div><a class=\"ffb-id-9qnm58cs  responsive-image-wrapper freshframework-lightbox-image fg-text-dark\" href=\"https:\/\/www.directout.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/PRODIGY-and-AMPS-scaled.webp\" title=\"Backstage at the Floresta stage, showing one of the two PRODIGY.MP rigs alongside the PA and DJ monitor amplifiers.

Heavy dust, continuous operation, multiple signal formats and the growing need for equipment with redundant power supplies made it essential to rethink the entire workflow. Managing up to eight channels per DJ kit, spanning digital, analog, monitoring and recording feeds, meant building a solution around the specific requirements of the production.<\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ffb-id-9qb7cm32 fg-col col-xs-12 col-md-12 fg-text-dark\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><style>@media (min-width:992px) { \n.ffb-id-9ker6g9o{ \npadding-top: 20px;\npadding-bottom: 20px;\n\n}\n}.ffb-id-9ker6g9r{ \npadding-top: 5px;\npadding-bottom: 18px;\n\n}\n@media (min-width:992px) { \n.ffb-id-9ker6g9r{ \npadding-top: 0px;\npadding-bottom: 7px;\n\n}\n}.ffb-id-9qb7cm31 ,.ffb-id-9qb7cm31:before,.ffb-id-9qb7cm31:after,.ffb-id-9qb7cm31 *,.ffb-id-9qb7cm31 *:before,.ffb-id-9qb7cm31 *:after{ color: #ffffff !important;}.ffb-id-9qb7cm31 a,.ffb-id-9qb7cm31 a:before,.ffb-id-9qb7cm31 a:after,.ffb-id-9qb7cm31 a *,.ffb-id-9qb7cm31 a *:before,.ffb-id-9qb7cm31 a *:after{ color: #58caa8 !important;}.ffb-id-9qb7cm31 a:hover,.ffb-id-9qb7cm31 a:hover:before,.ffb-id-9qb7cm31 a:hover:after,.ffb-id-9qb7cm31 a:hover *,.ffb-id-9qb7cm31 a:hover *:before,.ffb-id-9qb7cm31 a:hover *:after{ color: #ffe763 !important;}.ffb-id-9qnm7vat ,.ffb-id-9qnm7vat:before,.ffb-id-9qnm7vat:after,.ffb-id-9qnm7vat *,.ffb-id-9qnm7vat *:before,.ffb-id-9qnm7vat *:after{ color: #ffffff !important;}.ffb-id-9qnm7vat a,.ffb-id-9qnm7vat a:before,.ffb-id-9qnm7vat a:after,.ffb-id-9qnm7vat a *,.ffb-id-9qnm7vat a *:before,.ffb-id-9qnm7vat a *:after{ color: #58caa8 !important;}.ffb-id-9qnm7vat a:hover,.ffb-id-9qnm7vat a:hover:before,.ffb-id-9qnm7vat a:hover:after,.ffb-id-9qnm7vat a:hover *,.ffb-id-9qnm7vat a:hover *:before,.ffb-id-9qnm7vat a:hover *:after{ color: #ffe763 !important;}.ffb-id-9qnm58cs{ padding-top: 12px;padding-bottom: 12px;}@media (min-width:992px) { .ffb-id-9qnm58cs{ padding-top: 20px;padding-bottom: 25px;}}.ffb-id-9qb7cm34 ,.ffb-id-9qb7cm34:before,.ffb-id-9qb7cm34:after,.ffb-id-9qb7cm34 *,.ffb-id-9qb7cm34 *:before,.ffb-id-9qb7cm34 *:after{ color: #ffffff !important;}.ffb-id-9qb7cm34 a,.ffb-id-9qb7cm34 a:before,.ffb-id-9qb7cm34 a:after,.ffb-id-9qb7cm34 a *,.ffb-id-9qb7cm34 a *:before,.ffb-id-9qb7cm34 a *:after{ color: #58caa8 !important;}.ffb-id-9qb7cm34 a:hover,.ffb-id-9qb7cm34 a:hover:before,.ffb-id-9qb7cm34 a:hover:after,.ffb-id-9qb7cm34 a:hover *,.ffb-id-9qb7cm34 a:hover *:before,.ffb-id-9qb7cm34 a:hover *:after{ color: #ffe763 !important;}<\/style><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><section class=\"ffb-id-9qb8d3lj 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-9qb8d3ln fg-col col-xs-12 col-md-3 fg-text-dark\"><\/div><div class=\"ffb-id-9qb8d3lk fg-col col-xs-12 col-md-6 fg-text-dark\"><a class=\"ffb-id-9qb8d3lm  responsive-image-wrapper freshframework-lightbox-image fg-text-dark\" href=\"https:\/\/www.directout.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/PRODIGY-CloseUp-1-scaled.webp\" title=\"Close-up of one of the two PRODIGY.MP rigs.

Each unit acted as the master clock for its respective system, operating at 96 kHz, and took on three distinct roles across the stage&rsquo;s audio path, from the DJ booth to the loudspeakers.<\/p>\n<p>The first role in each setup was as a stagebox: every DJ console connected directly to the respective PRODIGY.MP, with redundant feeds provided in both analog and AES3 formats. The dedicated SRCs on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.directout.eu\/de\/produkt\/aes4-src-io\/\">AES4.SRC.IO<\/a> modules kept both systems independent from the DJ consoles&rsquo; clocks.<\/p>\n<p>Once the signals arrived, each PRODIGY.MP switched into its second role as the mixing console. Nando configured both units together with globcon software to behave as full mixers, using a Stream Deck Plus integration as the physical control surface in place of traditional faders.<\/p>\n<p>The PRODIGY.MP units also managed the PA processing, using Waves plugins hosted on a dedicated external computer for each configuration and connected through the respective SoundGrid module (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.directout.eu\/de\/produkt\/sg-src-io\/\">SG.SRC.IO<\/a>). This enabled Nando to apply &ldquo;subtle dynamic EQ directly on the matrix outputs,&rdquo; keeping both PAs consistently controlled and balanced while preserving the integrity of the artists&rsquo; mixes.<\/p>\n<p>Nando also created a GPIO-triggered fail-safe for each configuration using custom Quick Recall snapshots on the respective PRODIGY.MP. One snapshot bypasses the Waves plugin host, while the second re-engages it once the system is stable.<\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><style>@media (min-width:992px) { \n.ffb-id-9qb8d3lj{ \npadding-top: 20px;\npadding-bottom: 20px;\n\n}\n}.ffb-id-9qb8d3lm{ \npadding-top: 8px;\npadding-bottom: 15px;\n\n}\n@media (min-width:992px) { \n.ffb-id-9qb8d3lm{ \npadding-top: 0px;\npadding-bottom: 7px;\n\n}\n} .ffb-id-9qb8d3lm{ \nwidth: 750px;\nmax-width: 100%;\nheight: auto;\nmargin-left: auto;\nmargin-right: auto;\ndisplay: block;\n}\n.ffb-id-9qb8ipup ,.ffb-id-9qb8ipup:before,.ffb-id-9qb8ipup:after,.ffb-id-9qb8ipup *,.ffb-id-9qb8ipup *:before,.ffb-id-9qb8ipup *:after{ color: #ffffff !important;}.ffb-id-9qb8ipup a,.ffb-id-9qb8ipup a:before,.ffb-id-9qb8ipup a:after,.ffb-id-9qb8ipup a *,.ffb-id-9qb8ipup a *:before,.ffb-id-9qb8ipup a *:after{ color: #58caa8 !important;}.ffb-id-9qb8ipup a:hover,.ffb-id-9qb8ipup a:hover:before,.ffb-id-9qb8ipup a:hover:after,.ffb-id-9qb8ipup a:hover *,.ffb-id-9qb8ipup a:hover *:before,.ffb-id-9qb8ipup a:hover *:after{ color: #ffe763 !important;}.ffb-id-9qb8ipus ,.ffb-id-9qb8ipus:before,.ffb-id-9qb8ipus:after,.ffb-id-9qb8ipus *,.ffb-id-9qb8ipus *:before,.ffb-id-9qb8ipus *:after{ color: #ffffff !important;}.ffb-id-9qb8ipus a,.ffb-id-9qb8ipus a:before,.ffb-id-9qb8ipus a:after,.ffb-id-9qb8ipus a *,.ffb-id-9qb8ipus a *:before,.ffb-id-9qb8ipus a *:after{ color: #58caa8 !important;}.ffb-id-9qb8ipus a:hover,.ffb-id-9qb8ipus a:hover:before,.ffb-id-9qb8ipus a:hover:after,.ffb-id-9qb8ipus a:hover *,.ffb-id-9qb8ipus a:hover *:before,.ffb-id-9qb8ipus a:hover *:after{ color: #ffe763 !important;}<\/style><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><section class=\"ffb-id-9qb8rqkj 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-9qb8rqkk fg-col col-xs-12 col-md-12 fg-text-dark\"><a class=\"ffb-id-9qb8rqkm  responsive-image-wrapper freshframework-lightbox-image fg-text-dark\" href=\"https:\/\/www.directout.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2000\/09\/PRODIGY-and-AMPS-Stage-2-scaled.webp\" title=\"Backstage at the Outro Lado stage, showing one of the two PRODIGY.MP rigs alongside the PA and DJ monitor amplifiers.
