I dont really know where I am for a change.
I have been told we are in Switzerland but am waiting for someone to prove it to me.
Tonights show was at a club called Fri Son. 1500 or so. We are only carrying FOH/Monitors and outboard so I am dealing with in house systems. Today was an older Turbosund rig. It wasnt pretty but it got the job done. I have been trying some new things each night. Tonight was all about compressing the guitar subgroup. It definetly fattened up their tones coming off stage. And I was doing significantly less in terms of fader moves. The bulk of this little European adventure is being spent at festivals. With the other exception being 2 dates supporting Coldplay and 1 date supporting U2. Good fun and interesting to see how other organizations do things.
Anti and I are once again carrying a pair of Yamaha PM5DRH desks at both FOH and Monitors.
We are both using quite a bit more outboard then the last time out. I now have 2 Midas XL42 pre amp/eq, 2 Distressors, 2 XTA D2 dynamic comps, 1 XTA C2 comp, TC D2 delay and an XTA SIDD across the stereo L/R. Tim is once again out with us trying to make it sound how it should.
