Very refreshing to see the audio tech get some respect! Getting to observe how you guys set up musically is crazy -- no other touring bands would dare do this!
Hey Lonny, thanks for having John give us the lowdown! These types of setups are becoming the norm for many bands, including small bands like ours, of which we have a similar setup albeit a much smaller scale, but it works! Shout out to John for being an awesome tech!
I was trying so hard to understand everything in this video (and I failed horribly), but I loved seeing all the behind the scenes stuff! It’s way more involved and complex than I thought. Kudos to your crew members. 🤘🏼
Yeah we have the best crew! They work so hard each day and are all so incredibly skilled at what they do. They truly make the show happen and we could not do it without them.
I love seeing inside stuff so much thank you for this. It's cool to see how much goes into everything! Yall definitely do so much work it's crazy I just wanna thank all of the behind the scenes people that we don't know or see.
Thank you for showing us this Lonny! It was really cool to see and learn some of this stuff. I am seeing you guys in Lincoln on the 22nd and I can't wait! Also of course Happy Birthday Lonny! 😉😂🤘
Since you are using our gear (iConnectivity) I'll give more info on the tracks + MIDI setup. The PlayAUDIO12 is connected via USB to the computer on top. They are using a software called Ableton. In Ableton they will write a Program Change (PC) # in for everytime they want a change on the kempers. This gets sent to the PlayAUDIO12 which has an ethernet cable which goes to the mioXMs which were right under the PlayAUDIO12 in that rack. These mioXMs have DIN MIDI (5 pin) connector ports on them which can connect to the Kempers. The PlayAUDIO12 has 10 1/4" outputs for all the tracks which we heard were connected to monitoring area. The littler keyboard on top of the rack side stage was connected USB to the PlayAUDIO12 on the front and gets sent through that into the computer. Often people will have 2 computers connected to the PlayAUDIO12 so if one computer dies the second will continue on. This is why the keyboard got connected to the PlayAUDIO12. IT can send to both computers at the same time to keep them starting and stopping together. A fellow Canadian musician using gear from a Canadian company (iConnectivity). I'm assuming the drummer was getting tracks triggered from stage from an SPDSX connected to a mioXM?
How are you Lonny? This video was really amazing! Seeing so much work and so perfect is really great! I loved every detail! Thanks for this fantastic video here! I have enjoyed it a lot! 🔥🎸
Love it Lonny! Would love to see some bass playthroughs for bleeders and crimson skies! Can’t wait to tour with you guys and see you again! It was a pleasure seeing you on the in between tour 3 years ago 🙏🏽🔥
Right on! Yeah they’re awesome. They have every effect you could ever need, any tone, anything at all. Great for both live and in the studio. I’m a big fan. Hope you enjoy yours too!
Just wondering a few things, as i'm also a touring musician using kempers: Do you also notice that it takes the screens a while to update the current program/control changes? It switches instantly audio-wise but it sometimes takes the kemper like a second or 2 to reflect the changes on it's hardware. Which is strange. Also may i know why you don't implement the program/control-changes for the bass-kemper? The transpose is also midi-controllable

John Winters is one of the best in the biz. We are very lucky to have him as a core member of our crew 💪🏻. Glad you enjoyed the video!

Happy Birthday Lonny :D
avoiding my responsibilities at work to watch your video is my passion 😂
How are you Lonny?
This video was really amazing! Seeing so much work and so perfect is really great! I loved every detail! Thanks for this fantastic video here! I have enjoyed it a lot! 🔥🎸
Jon's a LEGEND!!
Agreed!

Thanks! I do have a bass playthrough Bleeders up already. Check it out!
Some classic bass player-isms in this lmao. "I didn't know that was in there. We are playing that song tonight? That song has violin?" Killer video.
Hahahah! Yes totally 😂
Hope you bring all that gear back to Sacramento soon and show us how it all sounds.
You guys are the reason I am investing in a Kemper, they are top notch!!
Right on! Yeah they’re awesome. They have every effect you could ever need, any tone, anything at all. Great for both live and in the studio. I’m a big fan. Hope you enjoy yours too!
🎸✌🏻🔥
Thank you Pamm!!
Winters! 🫡👏🏻
