I'm from Australia, I made the trek over especially for the 2007 Coachella. I had been in the industry for a couple of years by then, but not long enough to critique your dual hang config with any kind of experienced ears, but memory tells me it was good. Though Willie Nelson's level was such that the slightest breeze took Willie away from us. All good memories though ✌️

You must feel deep pride and satisfaction from the essential role you’ve played. The festival org team must be pinching themselves with the knowledge you will be there, every year, inventing and accommodating in equal parts, bringing an institutional memory to the sound design. Bravo!

This is awesome, Dave! I retired from live sound in 2002. My last tour was my first with line array (vertec) mains. I quit right at the tipping point to digital consoles and line arrays, so I am pretty clueless yet intrigued by all the advances in array configuration, digital routing etc. While I'm not working at it anymore, I really enjoy learning about the latest tech. Thanks!

Seeing Coachella in 2012 changed my perception of outdoor sound. But now it’s hard to listen to other systems. People look at me strangely when I say Red Rocks, except for the first third of rows, is a bad sounding venue, but it’s true. Needs delay clusters in the worst way.
@DaveRat
@DaveRat Жыл бұрын
Red rocks is definitely a challenge. Putting in delay clusters without screwing up sight lines would require overhead structures supported on the sides which would be pretty ugly probably not feasible given the natural look and feel of the venue

No we didn't do desert trip it wasn't really a festival that was more of a four band show and most of the bands were clair brother accounts. I was a bit surprised we got to do the big four same reasons but since it was back-to-back with Coachella it made sense for us to stay on site. Thank you for the heads up on the sales link working on it now!

Truly massive setups that seem very well thought out. I can only imagine that advancements in DSP has made your job much easier. How hard would it be to operate the massive 2023 system using 2003 tech?

Tough. As the pa's were bigger, heavier, not as loud per size or pound and sound system rigging was crap and we did not have prediction software. We'd end up with that horrible sounding PA like U2 has on Pop Mart tour. I mixed rage against the machine opening for U2 on that rig and it was misery

Hi Dave. What a great video. Specially, because you showed the transition from analog to digital mixers. Lately, I have realized that sonicly I don’t enjoy today’s shows wether I’m in the venue or when I watch them on tv/youtube. 3 weeks ago I went to a show and I realized they had a digital console... and I went like “oh no... I now know what’s going on”. It feel’s different for me... like no much flavor... And I feel this from the shows, in general, after 2008/2009. What do you think/feel?? Do you enjoy the sound of the digital consoles more than the analog ones? Cheers

Interesting. Don't know as I stopped touring in 2017 so I don't get the scoop as much on what's going on.

Wait.... How does a band get their own entire desk? Are there 12 desks out there, bigger acts get to setup their own station, own desk and outboard, ready to patch in?

Yes bands can bring their own consoles and we make room. Every show day we load in and load out multiple consoles
