I got to hang out with the crew that makes Styx look and sound good on tour! They are the kindest, most generous individuals who love what they do. In this one Chris "Cookie" Hoff shows me the ropes of FOH. I got a deep dive into what Front of House mixing, PA, plugins, consoles... etc Everything that makes FOH Work. As well as all the guitars, amps, pedals... that these Legends take with them on the road.

Live Audio is a field that moves both very slowly and super quickly. Technology has improved dramatically,and being able to reproduce basically the same show every night in every different venue is great for the audience. it's mega expensive, but the end result is worth it, especially for a band that actually plays their instruments! ;)

The “Haas effect” just lets the delay speaker’s audio ride on the backside of the primary waves if the main arrays. I’ve even had customers complain that the rear speakers weren’t on - until we Ruben the front arrays off! DiGiCi consoles, with dynamic EQ are amazing. Few FOH consoles have that feature. The ability to leave an EQ filter inactive, until certain volume levels, is just genius. Nice job, getting this interview! There aren’t more than a handful of people who really get how incredibly talented this man is!

Loved hearing Chris walk you and your dad through the rig.. if he’s not now, he will be soon - absolute legend - wealth of knowledge, never condescending.

Excellent video! I always try to sit near FOH when I go to a concert so I can peak at what goes on in the booth (and appreciate the mix the way the FOH intended it). I was at a Kacey Musgraves concert a few years ago. Before the show started I was standing behind the FOH "booth" watching in admiration . The mixing engineer was more than happy to talk about the PA setup and other details with another "nerd". It was equally insightful and awe-inspiring.

This is BADASS CONTENT MAN! My favorite quote on sight from Mr. Hoff "it's all about emotion". I know so many young sound guys who are too concentrated on the science and forget that ultimately, they are completely responsible for delivering the emotion that comes off that stage. Not everyone can pull that off. It's like playing an instrument. You need a total package that contains all the right things. Anyone can learn it, but not everyone is above average. I am persuaded that It's something you're born with. Such an awesome look into an avenue of modern live sound engineering. So Sick man!

Thank you for these videos with Chris. I was "initiated" into FoH mixing at my church when the young man who was mixing started going out on national tours (Kyle Gerhart - InPhase). I enjoy the small scale mixing I do - but what a different world it is for big-house mixing. Makes me want to try to do better as you can never get it perfect. A guy with a couple X32s like me is tiny compared to the tech used on the big stage. But as he said in the video - it's about emotion - delivering emotion to your audience. Even if it is 300 or 30,000.

It was a bit of a head check moving from monitors to FOH in regards to the power. You really gotta make sure during the day that you don’t accidentally blast a rogue input or pink noise through the PA while everyone else is onstage working. There are multiple layers of muting with all the control systems and you always want to start with a “fader down” stance when bringing something up for testing purposes. Even with that you need to know via muscle memory where to go to mute the PA if something goes wrong. Pyro and audio are two departments that can injure crew if careless.

I've loaded in some shows in 2000. Line arrays where so shunned to everyone, it took years for it to be a standard system and glad it did. Here we are, 23 years later and cabinets to drivers have exponentially expanded into its own beast. Us boomers had such a hard time transitioning from solid state, and analog to digital. But digital is improving slowly. You will never beat the correct analog foh equipment, but some day we will! This is its own world and it's a wild ride. I enjoyed working with the bands. I was always told "foh's job is move the audience involuntarily" the band plays, gives showmanship. Foh makes you remember how you were shaken during your favorite songs and it works very well! The scientific research these guys do is also note worthy!

Whow, this is awesome! Didn‘t know that these live engineers do kind of the same like recording engineers, but in realtime, I mean especially the effect stuff like vocal doublers, parallel compression, saturation etc. This is insane, thought it‘s just about some EQ‘ing 😲

Imagine sitting in your big control room trying to mix an album top to bottom at high SPL with no stops and thousands of people sitting in the same room screaming, yelling, whistling and singing while you are doing it.

Few things feel better to me than listening to a top-tier professional who enjoys his work tell me about it. This guy should have his own KZfaq channel. Imagine a behind the scenes compilation video for every tour stop where he addresses the different issues and get the show ready and then pulls it off successfully after fighting all the different problems that pop up. I’d subscribe to that in a heartbeat. It wouldn’t even be hard to shoot. Keep a go pro on him, a camera filming the sound booth, and one floating with him that he keeps on “the current problem”…anyway, a man can dream 😂

I got to meet Gart Loizzo a couple of times before and during shows - always a friendly, classy guy. RIP. This is really fascinating, and it explains why every STYX show I see sounds so good!

Very cool! Just saw this tour. Great show. Sound was awesome for Styx and REO. Loveboy’s mix left a little to be desired. The keyboard was buried and Paul Dean’s solos were as well. Thanks for sharing!

This video better get 100's of thousands of views, I swear, lol. Not only is it the hype from the size of the operation, but the first dude you interviewed (I'm still just 10 minutes in) is amazing and so well-spoken. You must have done a good job making people feel comfortable and like they could fully answer. Great video!
