- Jim Ebdon has been the Front of House Engineer for Maroon 5 since the early stages of the band's rise to the top rung of the global pop-rock scene. Accompanying Ebdon throughout the band's most recent tour is his new choice of console - the SSL L500 Plus...
Solid State Logic, if you want to send me one to try out for a few weeks, I wouldn't be opposed to it.
Ever notice how every single promotional video for a digital console end up saying it sounds like an analog console? lol
Because it doesn't lol.
I love that, we are only using 56 inputs!
just some drums, keyboard, bass, guitars and vocals. Nothing fancy
considering they are a 7 man band with 3 keyboardists on multiple keyboard setups all stereo thats expected tbh
"Not too many inputs, pretty simple band. Only 56 inputs."
between all the mics and monitors and instruments i guess it adds up fast lol
56 is nothing. My church uses 135.
@@alanbam5590 lol my church only has 32 (behringer x32) and they are all mono :/
@@henrybatchem4617 mono is fine. People always rag but live stereo sucks unless it’s guitar amps. And in your in-ears you can live without stereo 32 should be able to cover a huge kit and a big band with everyone singing. You’re doing fine!!
@@alanbam5590 What console?
Excellent sound man Can I say best I ever heard
"Well, this knob here is the pitch correction, ad this over hear is the pitch correction, this slider is the main pitch control, and this is the suck knob...oooh, why is that on?
You say: "When you hit the phase reverse button ... it's one delay"
What does this mean, please? It should simply invert the polarity of the signal, without introducing any extra delay.
Interesting video, by the way.
Yeah well he explained in a bad way. Phase reverse is actually a confusing (and wrong) name, phase means time and it's frequency dependant. It should be called polarity reverse because it inverts the polarity of the entire signal. It flips the signal upside down. Hope this helps.
I'm shocked that there no soundcheck. I don't care who you are. There should always be a soundcheck even if the do a quick 15min run through. It's not just for us as techies its also to give band conference in understanding the venue.
Mariah Carey New Year's Eve performance is a prime example of this
Lots of acts don’t do live sound checks, if the band wanted a sound check they would get one but some are comfortable not doing one and if the results are good then all the power to them,
I think it's a risky move. I know some high end engineers who really push for the band to soundcheck wherever possible. Sometimes a particular environment can really throw an act off. Doesn't matter if they're all on IEMs.
most sound engineers for festivals just dont have time
