DiGiCo and Rat Sound Help Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals Lose Weight On The Road
“And the acoustics in Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier – rarely at much more than a C-plus level – were as good as I’ve ever known them to be. While the volume was aggressive at points, it never precluded clarity in the mix or inflicted physical pain. (You see? It can be done! Kudos to whoever got it right.)”
Added 2 sold out shows in Mexico City filling in for Yann, who will be mixing Yann Tiersen on his upcoming US tour. Added Ben and Ellen Harper show in Clairmont, CA.
A good friend has convinced me to move to the other side of the snake! This February and some of March I’ll be hitting the road mixing monitors for Gary Clark Jr. supporting Kings of Leon in arenas, with some headlining club shows thrown in here and there. And looks like I’ll be on the Midas XL-8, which sounds great, and luckily I don’t need scenes for this show, as managing them on the Midas consoles can give you a bit of headache when your used to other stuff out there. Should be great though, fantastic sounding desk, and our input list is small enough I can fit it all on the surface with out having anything hidden. Check out the schedule in “Upcoming Shows“.
I’ve also noticed that WordPress.com may now put adds on to my blog and its posts. They do let me use it to create this blog at no cost to me, so I can’t complain, but please know I have not put any adds on this blog, and any adds that do appear are not endorsed by my personally.

No ones or zeros today, was a pleasure to mix on the classic XL-4 and not have to hit a “select” button or change banks. 🙂
I worked with the Cramps for about 2/3 of their last album tour, “Fiends of Dope Island” in 2003, had a great time overall, and very sad to hear of Lux’s passing. That guy could twist about a mic stand like it was a piece of taffy. When he put on a show he gave it his all, and a hell of a show it was everytime. Getting his vocals loud enough in the monitors on stage? Absolute nightmare. Take the best gear, set it on warp 10, and your close. Take the not so great gear in many of the clubs we played and good luck. Mixing the Cramps from front of house? Awesome.
I send my deepest sympathies to Poision Ivy.
The Cramps - Warsaw - Brooklyn, NY
More shows added in April for the Relentless 7 -> Festivusis for the rest of us is. Otherwise enjoying 68º January weather whilst it lasts. See into the future by looking at the complete schedule here.
Live techs have some pretty crazy road cases, incredible heavy, folding out like a transformer robot to reveal a multitude of stuff, from tools of the trade, supplies, spare parts, mementos of family or touring, and various other “stuff”, but I think this old one here wins the award for organization and style.
