It may all seem like fluff, but when you watch any video of their concerts its remarkably crisp sound, with clear and distinct channels. Unlike so many other concert videos recorded on cell phones
Blink-182 has a sick audio setup 🔥
Heard this first hand in Chicago on 5/6. Definitely the most present mix I've ever heard on the floor (5th row), I could hear the articulation in everything. Also, having fractal for the guitars doesn't hurt if you are going for that in-your-face vibe. It felt like the mix was made just for my listening position and not for everyone else in the united center. A perfect sounding show...
Dude yes the tone for every instrument and microphone was perfect, not one intrsument was left out
No wonder they sounded so good at Bridgestone!
Amazing ! Great to know more about live production thanks
Hey if Blink 182 can get $400 a head and fill mega stadiums in 80 cities, over 100 days, then six $40K-$80K racks of great Neve gear isn't out of reach.
I wonder how much *they* pay for it...
@@willudallmusic this video was probably the price for the gear. :)
They bought it all, or their sound company did. (And Mark bought his Shelford Channels, and Travis bought his 5088 console.)
@@RupertNeveDesigns thanks for weighing in 🙏🏻
see you in cologne next week! 🤘🎸
Not hard to tell they are planning another live album. All that hardware is not standard for shows. They are polishing capturing the audio for each show. Id say after this album, youll see a live album come out.
The crappy thing about that is that the setlist is kinda mediocre 😩, they could have a killer live album with a lot of other songs, but well hear AGAIN all the small things AGAIN dammit AGAIN adams song. fuck
what the fuck are you talking about? I've seen them 30 times and this upcoming playlist is amazing. It was better at coachella (can do without adams song, ghost on the dancefloor) but it's really amazing@@elmerromero2207
Tom and Mark sound so shit live, they need as much sound engineering equipment as possible to make them sound half decent!
Probably a movie of them reuniting
the setlist is pretty good, every band has to play their hits@@elmerromero2207
wow this is amazing
I’ve been using thr big portico II channels for guitar and vocals at live gigs for years. Once you do, you never want to go back.
Finally!!! 🙌🏻
Amazing!
It's a hard job making Tom and Mark sound good vocally, so great job sound engineers!
Not to mention Travis is a basher that doesn't really mix his cymbals with the rest of his kit and hits the drums hard enough to choke them. The fact that they make that sound good is the real deal.
So dope
i have those compressor on my live 11
Working so well with Vocal 👍👍
Awesome
Damn!!! Its cool 🎉
This is so killer. the 5045s are life savers. I've seen the shelfords alot lately. I need to try some.
RND 5045 Secret weapon on drums too! Knee mic tight then distorted/saturated! Punch for days
the shellys are amazing but i find the knobs really annoying. would have been better at 1073 size
@@ElectricAirStudioswhat drum mics do you use the 5045 on?
@@POINTBLAKEE crotch mic. Adjust until it only lets the shells through and then distort and blend to taste!
The 5045 is absolutely my favorite
i was at the cologne show 2 weeks ago and i wondered why it sounded so good, now i know haha
Love ya Charlie 💙
Would love to have some Neve gear in my home studio but sadly, it's expensive.
I wish the would publish that audio for sale. I love their live stuff. It would be a dream to get audio better than just someone’s camera.
Their Coachella set had soundboard audio I believe
The fact Blink is hiring engineers that use Rupert Neve is also a big accomplishment. I think its because of Marks Production/Studio background he built when Tom left. I have no doubt Blink will sound the best this time around, also proud Tom really has improved his live vocals.
Saw them a couple of months ago when they were in Dallas. They sound STELLAR
Tom knows way more about gear, recording, engineering and post production. Having said that, I still think they sound like shit live. All the gear and best engineers can’t make a bad live musician sound good. But I do think Tom records very well. More talent is heard on the AVA work, in my opinion.
@@mikeheroes5451 I don't usually comment back. However I do think AVA is much more immersive music. Blink is just too sugar sweet for my taste now. I do hope their next album really is best of both worlds of Blink and AVA.
I have to disagree. Keep AVA far, far away from Blink. They should adapt the sound of the song, "Not Every Dog Goes to Heaven". @@damonmedekmusic2015
Meanwhile my band has to play through a Behringer Xenyx lol
And if mixed well the xenyx is brilliant. A good band will sound good through anything make sure you're tight and can play in any situation
please make the shelly pre in either standalone rack, or even better 500 thanks
The craziest thing is that there is a $75 candle on top of the board for some reason.
I like the intro song
Background music not even blink. Nice behind the scenes thought.
That intro is literally Skate or Die Teenage Bottlerocket. :>
God bless you all. Perfect job . )
🔥🔥🔥
Any rig run downs of mark and toms gear
understandable, but he didn't mention the tubetechs 😍
I thought I was getting a rig rundown. I got an ad
Whats being used on guitars and bass?
i spot some dt1770 pro cans at the FOH!
What interface are they using ? Can anyone tell?
Great video but I'm a firm believer in show don't (just) tell. Would have loved to hear a bit of live audio that had gone through the equipment.
Go and see the show... he is spot on about the drums.
@@dxrocketsurfer34 the drums are what I'd be most interested to hear.
DOUBLE BLIND TEST
Can you use the mbt bus transformer for mixing vocals?
Absolutely - it's extremely useable on any stereo source.
💯
a real vocal chain for live performance.....can you all send me a shelford for my home studio :)
I’m so sorry, but in Bologna was impossible to recognize the voice of Tom from the parterre 😡
RAYRAY!
daaaaaaaaaaaang
Dante is crazy
Okay but the song in the background?? I’m thinking it’s new music 👀
I had such a great time at the LA 7/16 show, thanks for all your hard work!
sounds like someone was paid to create a song like "skate or die" by teenage bottlerocket
Lol what? That’s definitely not new blink. That sounds like cheap generic pop/punk
@@owenkinser6626 lol that's what i thought!
Mark and Tom seem so serious nowadays
cancer and aliens changes even punks
I miss Tom Vein as his MT.
Why do you need that Stuff 2x?
For the FOH make sense to me, thats what the people hear in the concert.
But why all that stuff for the monitoring?
As if the 3 guys from the band care that their monitor mix is looped through a dozen analog racks.
It makes a difference in their IEM monitor mix, trust me
If you feed the artists a different mix, how can you call it 'monitoring'? It's not like they are on a tight budget.
@@the_dude182 huh? 🤡
Haha! He basically have a premium analog mastering stage in there 😂
All that hardware to sound like that??
Hey uh tell Tom to rock that Messa Boogie amp again and set those flanger again
How many racks of autotune are they using on this tour?
En serio llevan tantos equipos para una banda de solo tres músicos?
What’s the name of the song at the beginning?
This could be off the new album!
It’s good ol days by Michael Briguglio
Did homeboy say he was going line in for vocals? Was there another preamp in that he was using before hitting the channel that he didn't mention or did he legit go from a mic to a line input? Oof.
I caught that. No, he likely used 1 of a couple options. 1- output from wireless receiver was set to line level or 2- the outboard gear was simply patched in via send/return at line level. My guess would be the 2nd option because I would assume the receivers are onstage and not at FOH. So his mic signal probably was sent to FOH via Dante, and the outboard gear was inserted at FOH.
its autotune
Why did Denver sound so bass heavy - that kick was boomy- a little rough
I want their jobs.
Trust me, you don’t. Sure they probably charge a high day-rate, but live event AV sucks the most dick, especially corporate. Music would be more tolerable, but most definitely would still suck. I’d much rather make good money and work from home.
He should go back to the Studio
What’s toms autotune chain!? It’s not like we care
Why was the guitar so quiet throughout the tour?
One of those racks of gear cost more than a house.
please improve camera handling and audio mixing
...What? lol
That's what you do when you basically have unlimited cash at your disposal
I use a Heritage Audio Britstrip live for vocals, the Neve Newton serves same functions. It’s less than the cost of a guitar and amp, and your vocals are worth it (it you sing) since vocals are considered in the industry ‘half’ the song!
@@CenterThePendulum Nice setup! What mic are you using with it? The Blink FOH way to me is just a nice departure from more and more big acts going all digital for their productions. But I get a trio does cater to a more straightforward and "old school" (yet in this case, very refined) approach.
Is the pitch correction on their live vocals done in abelton?
Bro you're so edgy
@@AmiliaCaraMia k
lol no neve equipment can hide it
🫡🥵
Hey can I have a job
still prefered self title era, most banger and agressive style punk of blink
We had a pretty bad sound in Belgium, sitting upstairs (in the cheap seats). I know the place wasn't designed for good acoustics, but the bass drum covered every other sound. Couldn't hear any guitar or voice for the whole show, except when drums were silent. I guess nobody monitored the sound upstairs. Everyone seemed to have a good time downstairs though
Teenage Bottlerocket skate or die vibes intro 😬😬
bruh crank up toms guitar
now you know why the tickets are way over priced
He skipped over the pitch correction hardware lol.
Does Neave make pitch correction software? It is their video displaying their products….
I’m not sure they were using it on the tour, cuz on some shows there was an occasional flat note so clearly there was no pitch correcting happening
Nothing wrong with pitch correction. It's 2023 my guy. No different than a vocalist using any other effect. Imagine getting upset because a guitarist was using a doubler or an octave pedal. Super snobby of you.
If Rupert Neve made Waves Tune they may have mentioned it haha
@@brian_hibbsno. Imagine a guitar that never plays an out of tune or incorrect note 😂 😂that’s the example
promo sm
cool, now do us all a favour and tell blink to bring in a backing guitarist to fill in the sound.
lastima que todo eso es para amplificar la bateria nada mas..por q todo lo demas es grabado ...la verdad q es lamentable q tom este haciendo play back
still doesn't sound as good as his mesa boogie triple rec's
All of the kids will defend the digital audio set up, but his live tone is nowhere nearly as good as it used to be. I went to 2 shows on the current tour and although they sound good overall (mostly due to tons of auto tune and backing tracks), his guitar tone sounds weak as well if we’re behind honest.
They sound awful live. And I'm not spending that much regardless. Saw them in 2001 and that was good enough.
Saw Blink last weekend in Antwerp and despite all this expensive gear the sound was a completely horrible, indistinguishable mess. You had to really know the songs to be able to make out what song they were playing.... Definitely not "studio sound" haha. Although I have to admit, the venue is one of the shittiest "arena's" Belgium has to offer...
Blink splitting up definitely didn't help their overall sound quality either. They're hacky using their old gems for nostalgia for profit. F blink.
@@sidvicious332 So does every other huge band that's still touring... What's wrong with that? They're still writing bangers and I'm excited for the new album. Most crowds want to hear the big hits :)
all this stuff is not necessary lol
3:53 yeah because he's using triggers
@@ab8817To open gates
studio guys have ruined live sound
100%
mainly just gear companies selling stuff you dont need
