All posts for the month November, 2008
Please, correct me if I am stating incorrect information….
As of 2007
Average deaths of US citizens yearly from Heart Disease – 450,000
US Government allocation of money towards studying heart disease – $3 Billion
Average deaths yearly of US citizens from what the US government defines as a terrorist act – 70
US Department of Homeland Security Budget – $161 Billion
That’s the best thing we can find to do with our time here?
I see now that I must have been imprinted at a young age to be a sound engineer as revealed by the first 321 Contact episode. It’s also great documentation of when recordings were made with actual people playing the parts, compared to today’s computer edited and created methods. And dig that funky groove.
Next up on the agenda, mixing the Relentless 7 on an upcoming California club tour. Back to the small clubs, it’s been almost over a year now since I’ve mixed on anything besides a Digidesign Profile, and now back to the humble beginnings of dusty consoles in dusty small clubs.
To see the dates check out the ‘Upcomming Shows’ page here on the blog, and also check out the bands web site – www.Relentless7.com
Ohio, Minnesota, Wisconsin get an introduction to the Relentless 7, a new group with Jesse, Jason, Jordan, and Ben Harper, as they joined the Get Out and Vote tour for four shows encouraging people to, you guessed it, get out and vote. Not necessarily for one candidate or the other, just to get out and vote, or as Ben put it “to give you the right to complain.”
In the live sound department, the Sheryl Crow tour basically turned into this tour, so I was mixing on their Clair provided Digidesign Profile, and Sheryls monitor engineer took care of us on a Digidesign Venue. Stacks and racks were “locally” supplied with Eighthday providing a V-dosc rig for the Ohio shows, and Audio Visions providing a Vertec rig for St. Paul and Milwaukee. And while all went well, all I can say is arenas are absolutely horrid rooms to mix a live show in (and waves plug-ins seem to take a really long time to load.)
It seems the plan worked, people voted.
