KROQ COACHELLA HOUSE

I had the great pleasure of being the house audio nerd for the KROQ Coachella House.

Week one was amazing with appearances by M83, Kimbra, Florence and the Machine and performances from The Hives, Grouplove, The Shins and more.

My responsibilities included the FOH mix, monitor mix and the broadcast mix for all the live performances.

(I did not mix the artists who toured with their own for … Grouplove, Deathgrips, and Oberhofer all carried their own engineers)

Really enjoyed mixing The Shins acoustic performance, and The Hives full band set. Great energy.

SXSW 2012

This year I  had the pleasure of mixing FOH for Bandpage HQ  http://sxsw.bandpage.com/

Bandpage HQ featured three venues linked together; Club 606, a Patio stage and the Empire Garage (where I was mixing foh )

PRE SETUP

The crews where comprised of Engineers from DBS Sound out of Los Angeles and Miller Pro Audio from Austin Texas

The Audio rig in the main room was three per side Omega Corps V48 over 4 Perside Omega Corps Double 18″ Subwoofers Powered by Crown Itech 9000’s

I was mixing on a Yamaha PM5D at 96khz at Front of House

This was my second year of working showcases at SXSW and my second year bringing my antelope clock. The antelope clock does a fantastic job of stabilizing the digital console when running high channel count groups. The difference between clocked and non clocked audio is extremely noticeable  even with an ipod / cd player.

The teams at Bandpage and Heard Entertainment that put the events did a great job of selecting a wide range of artists. ….  everything from dance to rock to hip hop.

I JUST THOUGHT THIS WAS COOL

See you next year!

SMOKE OUT 2012

Chang and GU put together another great multi genre event
I had the pleasure of being the mainstage FOH for this years Smoke Out ( last year I was in the dance tent with Deadmau5 and company)

This year I only got to mix one group, Mobb Deep, but had a great time soft patching everyones’ scenes around and helping the other guest engineers have great mixes

FOH

See you in the fall for the next Smoke Out

NEW EAR MOLDS

In February I went down to irvine to have my ear’s fitted for new in ear ER – DB 25 Molds

I have been using ER hearing protection since the Fall of 1999, and I think its very important for musicians and production personnel ( bar staff too) to be able to hear clearly but protect their hearing.

Please contact Dr. Wilson  ( or a local audiologist ) to get your ears checked and fitted for molds. The price is reasonable and the benefits are infinite.

I really enjoy the ER line because they are tailored to the hearing curve of the human ear vs other cheaper / pro sumer molds
