Bob Doyle was there for DiGiCo's third PALME; he said that take-up of digital technology seems to be slower in this region than elsewhere, again reflecting the need for technical knowledge out here. DiGiCo is investing in training and seminars, and emphasising its 100% back-up philosophy, to move things forward. Coincidentally, both Destiny's Child and Mariah Carey were performing in Dubai that week, and both with DiGiCo D5 consoles. Doyle added that 2005 has seen a marked shift in acceptance of the digital domain.
