Saw Coldplay at the Hollywood Bowl in the Summer of 2002. A Rush Of Blood To The Head Tour. IT WAS AWESOME!
My dream job!
+Katie Rowbotham lol....keep dreaming
Auriga M too*
It's funny how CZcams reminds you of things you dreamed of doing 2 years ago. Since then I have worked a total of 3 arenas/stadiums in various roles... but I think I like the smaller venues better so...
ive started young I'm 14 and I run a digital board a little smaller then this
Tennessee Bow-hunter kool. What's your favorite mixer board?
maybe shows us the actual sound of the conerts as well please !!!!! just a snippet ! dayyaamnn !!! : P
I’m gonna get at this level🙏🏿 Trust
well thaz a nize one bro, waves is the future of sound
Awesome stage btw
Waves plugins are the most important part
awesome!
So cool!!!🙌🫶🙏😎❤️
The real hero!
I always wondering if there exist a delay between the band's play and the sound coming out from the speaker. Hereby I refer to delays caused by propagations, conversions, processings etc. So ?
No. Waves plugins can be used with Waves Soundgrid servers which are a DSP processing computers for the plugins. They are ensured to work at a super low latency. A few hundred samples. 2-10 milliseconds. That is super super low latency.
szahuba yes there is a seconds delay but its mostly effects
The speed of sound is a problem in a big venue. If you are micing drums (which you are for this venue for sure) then you have the problem of the sound the drums produce arriving after their electronically reproduced sound out of the speaker, not even including latency from the processing.
Typically these places might even have a second set of speakers further back to compensate for the loss in volume from the front to the back. Also they don't have to deafen the front row in order to make the sound project the entire distance to the back.
Anyway, that second row of speakers is maybe half way back from the front. The sound has to be delayed for that set of speakers in order for the natural sound from the drums, and the front row of speakers to catch up . If the drums are way back, then you might have to slightly delay the front row as well. Otherwise you have a smearing of the audio image by the arrival of sounds that appear to be generated at different times.
The plugins used (waves, UA etc.) are processed by a dedicated computer and the connections are through fiber or some really fast method, to keep the latency to a minimum. Often the performers will want to hear some of the processed signal, and they cannot have latency to any noticible degree or it will through their performance off. So latency is a big problem that they fight all the time.

Good points John. You're right The System Tech and FOH needs to be vigilant with the latency throughout.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe the Hollywood Bowl utilizes delay towers. I think they employ surrounds firing back into the good seats, but the line array mains cover adequately to the back row.
That said, it may be act dependent. If they want to pay for delay towers (often logistical pain in the ass*, and expensive), then whatever.
In my experience, it's typically mammoth outdoor shows (for sheer distance), or stadium shows (for distant coverage with significant vertical component).
*in my experience, delay towers typically add the requirements of small crane for steel erection, power distro feeders, signal via fiber, copper or both, water supply (and subsequent draining) for tower counter-weighting, plus all the labor for load in and strike.
Add in time/phase alignment and EQ'ing, yep, adds up to some significant logistical resources required.
Oooooooh.... someone finally gets to use his Full Sail diploma.
The irony in the distortion of the microphone recording this interview.
thx ;)
you are a cool guy, dan!
I always wondered how they microphone the drums.
@william holliday Hi Will. Can you please explain how does the drum sample is played live along the real drums? I mean, some sounds are not organic, how’s it done live ?
@@abdallahaddad620 through trigger pads that the drummer hits
i thought about this idea years ago and now its a reality,,, i feel all humans mind or ideas are linked universally
One thing I have learnt is that if you procrastinate on a great idea, God gives it to the next person capable of doing it.
We make download from the Cosmos... As Michael Jackson said: it is all created, already.
I think they achieved that "good live record!" ;)
I love stage < backstage ! 😉😉
Very interesting, thank you!
totalmente un estudio ,este ingeniero tiene que ganar muy buen dinero, con toda esta tecnología los cantantes que no cantan aquí los afinan y les crean una voz esplendorosa , estos son los que les hacen el milagro a los cantantes, quisiera oír cantar a capela
i would love to do this omg
Thank you! 😊
inspired !!!
BIG fan ...
Great video
what if it rains? lol
Luigi Otero theres a thing called a canopy fyi
Ibarra Beatz which FOH doesn't have in this video.
they actually do this inside a tank of water sooo the question should be "what if its dry?
but it does. Ive been to the hollywood bowl and they can cover up the FOH booth when they please
Silly its obvious he puts his umbrella up Durrrr
And of course i'm using waves..
What happens if it rains
Beautiful!
please, can u send me the connections of this setup. Just learning
The sad thing is I actually understand and know what he's saying...
How is that sad
@@charliestubbs6151 Same what? Live sound is a killer skill to know/have. Plus it's interesting. I can watch these videos all day and never get bored.
how to eq live program in jbl 4889 live
My dreams
vocal eq male and female mic's eq we need help
Surprised at how minimal it is
Where is he from?
what do you need to study to do this?? 😩
hey wave audio. Are you using rcf HDL 20?
RIP Daniel Green
He is still alive I know his son.
Then it means Daniel Green should be the one to ask for unreleased songs :)))))
Like Bucket for a crown or A view from the top
rip waves and digico integration, having to have a separate pc for waves control sucks
Mmmmm....thought the H19 woofer dooper passed via the J55 anologue control status before hitting the F33 signal Digitally, Making the Stereo into Mono clearer ?
❤️
What company does he work for
coldplay
Tom Tyr WigWam
The future of the music emulating the past
Wich mixed is that
Nick facebook admin ?
what Model?
It's the DiGiCo SD7
Yeah thanks brother God bless you
They are just pushing buttons and keeping the bass at 8 (none clock) delay 8 phaser and chorus cranked to full and tremolo at 2 lol
Find the Mute button
easiest way to cheat your ears, look on the screen
There's some fishy stuff happening considering he added plug-in in the middle of explaining his 3 part vocal chain lol 1:20
So, Coldplay ... plays live... right, computer based music..
Jeez how dumb are you? Do you even know rock/pop concerts work
What are you talking about. You obviously don't know how live sound works
nice nice i love that set up what is this guy phone number
Get the main element. Vocals and drums???
That’s all you hear these days at alive show. Unless your are in smaller venue and then you might hear the rest of the band.
Usually you mix the whole band into the PA system funny how shows used to sound better when it was just analogue when we didn’t have all this digital bullshit
Z
first
Coldplay is sssoooooo booooring
This was really boring
This is some peoples way of life, if you dont like it then dont watch
MR. Mitch65 I won’t
It's probably not your cup of tea, but I found this interesting, especially when this is a morph of studio and live sound.
yeah cuz you dont know nothing about music
