Some things may absolutely be getting interference, but by merit of being fixed or not, | |||
either work or not. | |||
For example, DMX is usually hidden in the ceiling. Until you add something new up there, | |||
things probably mostly just work, or you are currently troubleshooting, | |||
but even then you leave it in a fairly fixed state. | |||
Audio setups may change every day, and it's easy to find a hum and start poking buttons and yanking things. | |||
Also, there are a lot of fixes based on "I heard" and "works for me" and any discussion of the actual issue, or safety is optional. | Also, there are a lot of fixes based on "I heard" and "works for me" and any discussion of the actual issue, or safety is optional. |
