    Ken is awesome! So glad he was brought in the Maiden Killer Krew...keep kicking butt Pooch! Thanks for your awesome FOH work. Hoping to get another chance in 2024 with some US dates (crossing fingers).

    Gate triggers...Brilliant. Always good to listen to Pooch's tech talks.

      So many interviews with him - but in really every one you learn another little trick. He is simply an FOH legend.

    Ive seen iron maiden since the early 90's. Pooch has really improved their live sound. What a fantastic engineer!

      Exactly, it's always great to meet such ambitious engineers. With Pooch, heart and technology swing in the same rhythm. Simply fantastic.

    Excellent interview. It will always be a pleasure to listen to someone with so much experience. I was able to enjoy the great work of Pooch last year in DC, it was incredible. Thank you! 🔥

      Pooch is in great sync with the band and whole IM crew for years and is still trying to move up a level. Despite his experience, he remains open and shares his knowledge. Such a great person and a true expert.

      You are right. Pooch's CV and knowledge is really impressive. But he stays grounded and is always interested in giving something back to the community 🙌. And that is very important and makes him so likeable.

    This guy is brilliant at what heat does also him being a fan of Maiden when he was a teenager and all these years later he's a huge part of the Killer crew doing sound for Maidens live shows that's the American dream. Good for him..🤘

    Pooch, I have always enjoyed your work and have learned a lot over the years… You are a very honest man, btw your looking great these days, did you get healthier on the road??? I myself went thru weight loss surgery and haven’t felt better…

    I hollered at you after the Sioux Fall SD show in Oct 2021(off to your SL)...It would have been Awesome to actually meet you, (..but House Security wouldn't allow me to..) I've been following your stuff for a while now, and as Fan of Maiden,...and many other 80's Metal Bands, I feel that YOU...and of course, "Big Mick",.. are The "VOICE" of the Classic Metal World. Keep up the AWESOME Job of doing what you do, and PLEASE don't stop Teaching the rest of us... I mix FOH for a Night Club in NW Iowa and it doesn't matter if your a Country Band or POP/Dance Band...it's gonna sound like a Fkng ROCK Band!

    • @EventElevator
      @EventElevator  Год назад +1

      It would be brilliant if they could find the time to drop video regularly (even without pandemic breaks). Otherwise we have to catch them on the road directly at their FOH.

    What's the exact Neve Device Ken Talks about to wide specific frequencies and to bring forward the bass in his main mix?

    • @EventElevator
      @EventElevator  Год назад +2

      In his outboard rack, Pooch has two Rupert Neve Designs Portico II Master Buss units, there is a special stereo field editor inside. Furthermore, the outboard also contains, for example, also a Sonic Farm Dreamliner III. So even Mr. Pooch can't do without an a little bit of outboard. The love for a few buttons is strong in all of us. 🎛💗

      Oh boy, these names are born when autocorrection intervenes. You are right, of course -- CCCCreamliner is correct. But of course it would be interesting for an even super softer new development for Sonic Farm. 🤪

    Nice to see you again……I was pondering that the other day….my mixing on my sound craft 200 b…1 SPX 90 1 SPX 900 1 sde 1000
    My kick trick was going direct out I think or y cord into.some kinda drum processor …thunder kick…tuned way down run back into channel two with tight gate which was a peavy 5 ch gate hehe…. But it was my mixing on that stuff that got me on my first tour never looked back…

      Hi Michael, so sorry, our time on set was super limited. Next time we will go more in depth. On the web you can find a few more videos where Pooch explains more about the working environment, desk aso. Cheers!

      probably because he doesn't looks like he's fat because of lack of exercises, but rather looks like some kind of ilness and excercises won't help...
