This how I explained to my family how I hooked up wireless karaoke reg to my surround sound.
Lol fr!…
Plugins and other digital tools are fantastic resources to have when you need them, but I 100% agree with Greg about organic sound and fixing things at the source. I've worked as a house sound guy at several clubs and I've learned so much from experienced visiting band engineers. Some of the best-sounding bands were playing with the console almost flat (minimal EQ, compression and effects) because the they were using high-quality, correctly-configured instruments/amps, with the right mics in the right positions and of course great musicians and singers with excellent technique and dynamic control. This obviously gives you additional advantages such as simplicity and reduced setup time.
Wow... recallable and programmable snapshots
trumdrum I lol'd
Latency In the brain 😁😁
Really interesting... the top promoter of Waves plugins tells us not to use plugins anymore, because the Console from AVID "sounds so good" with the biggest innovation of recallable channel Layouts :-)
Yeah I had to laugh about that too.
i think hes fried lol
He means fx in general when he uses the term plug ins. Hes sober as well. He wouldn't last a day of employment on the tour otherwise trust me.
They make modeling guitar amps so why can't they make a console that can model a microphone. Every mic looks the same aside of course of S M L diaphragm. You tell the console what mic you want it to replicate. I would have to agree with him though that the actual microphone would be a better choice.
@@monmixer There are microphone models that can be used live. They just aren't up to snuff yet. Maybe in another 10 years.
What an inspirational message and his deliverance encapsulates incredible experience 🇮🇪🎼👍🏼🍀
great words: Learn to listen
Clear company stage 🙌🏻
best user interface ever on a digital console. I’m so glad it’s brand new and updated, but similar to a profile
and that patchbay?? i mean come on that puts dante to its knees any day.
i choose to keep going because i am passionate about this stuff. I actually worked for clair for a little while at the lititz shop and some family has worked there since the early 70s. all those speakers got built right across the warehouse from me too. you’re smart for staying with them
ps Britannia Row doesn’t count
I love this guy! 👏👏👏
He’s either physically exhausted or under the influence.... exhaustion has the same effects as being pissed.
Hahaha....this dude must have emptied the tourbus liquorcabinet!!! Sure hope his systems engineer is at least halfway sober!
hahahahahahahaha
We love his passion!
It looks insane when he pushes a button and all the faders just moves around for them self.
Imagine going back 50 years in time and showing this to a sound enginer.
Like "WTF was that?"
so cool to hear that ozzy, one of the biggest rocxk starsa ever uses the same mic that i do.
great advice, thank you
Great lesson Greg
bless you Greg
Who gives af is Greg is a little day drunk? He’s one of the best in the biz.
You trying living out on the road for 4 or 5 months and see how well you hold up.
Right?!? I mean, it might just be his natural way of talking. Maybe this is just the way his elation comes out...
Anyway, I'm gonna search CZcams for more interviews of Greg...
I saw Black Sabbath on this tour and it was one of the most crisp, amazing live gigs Ive ever heard.
polyphony89
He is such a great engineer.
Christ, how toasted was this guy?
sounds and looks shattered to me
Well he might be just jet lagged after multiple flights and gigs in different continents.
Well, he hangs out with Ozzy after all...🤷🏻♂️
he is so right
saw them at Graspop on this tour. The ground was shaking.
I love my s3lx. I can work on side of anyone with the confidence and assurance that I am not lacking the tools I need.
Olivier hallo.. can s3lx play at big stage? sound still good? sounds amazing?
He's sober. Anyone who knows the slightest about his day, or the industry knows he wouldn't have made it a day further employed if he was drunk in the middle of his 16 hour shift. He would never be able to make it to the 12:30 am tear down.
I can say with certainty that this FOH engineer isn't tearing anything down, Or setting anything up. He has earned his white glove position. When ozzie is done, he packs his backpack up at FOH and the roadies do the rest.
I meant make it 'to' the end of the show as stated, aka when tear down starts.
At 6:47 right after he says , working with the very best people, the screen says - engnieer ?
Hold my beer, sounds great, very..... very (wobble) organic....
Finding the right mic for a particular sound must have been a long arduous and most expensive venture 😶
As a guitarist and fan, I'm sorry I keep trying to focus on the technical but when I see 3:42 and 6:03 all I can think is the opening chords of Warpigs. The temple of Sabbath.
Can we please skip the term 'organic' already? It means absolutely nothing in this context.
When you work for Sabbath and you shoot a vid ,you use any terms you like .do you like the term ,lick his boots .
Cool Thoughts on what he has to say!
10:36 for all people who say "i only use l'acoustics because its the only well sounding system" hate this brand war...there so many good speakers, l'acoustics is quite good (;
absolutely true!! change the mic before eq the hell out of it!
CAN'T BEAT THE OLD ANALOG SYSTEMS WITH OUT BOARD EQ,EFFECTS,COMPRESSORS AND ,NOISE GATES. SOUND 101 ,UNITY GAIN - OUTPUT = INPUT , PFL ,SUBGROUP BUS ASSIGNMENTS AND USING YOUR EAR AND YOUR L.E.D. METERES TO GET YOUR HOUSE MX. OLD SCHOOL ROCKS !!!!
smart man
did he straighten up in time for the show ?
So they have these new badass consoles just in time to stop touring. Genius!
They already use them for a while. Maybe for about 1 year.
Three cheers for Organic ..... Chemistry!
Exactly, he is one of the best forget about the guy and listen! If he sounds tipsy you are on the wrong channel.
Hittin the same drug cabinet as Ozzy?
I love how buddy sits behind a $120,000.00 dollar mixer for a $150.00 mice that they can stop at best buy on the way to the show to pick up.
who else thought that he just can't use the console or a compressor? :'D
Did he just tell us to change mics as if that was a specific feature to that board??? Like as if i can’t do it to any other board???
i think he's saying the desk is more transparent so changing the mic is more apparent
You can trust this guy not to give away any secrets.
He's not going to break under interrogation! 🤣
What is he on? He looks sober but sounds stoned 😂😂
Put it in the air bruh
Why hasn’t anyone commented on the fact that this cat probably has dozens to thousands of live Sabbath recordings 🤣
Best adviceI Skip to 7:17 thank me later 😂😂😂😂
If you had advise we wanted ,we would watch your videos
This guy is using a digital console, digital recorders then says plugins are not organic? wtf ??
An analog console is as organic as a digital console, none have any organic compound in there.
He just could not find the right word to say that he wanted a untouched sound, maybe he does not like to tweak stuff with plugins but rather with his equipment.
@@gbasilveira Digital console is going to alter the sound
@@chrischoir3594 Analog will alter also.
The idea that by having Digital your sound will degrade is not entirely true compared to Analog.
A digital equipment is much more stable in regards to any environmental change such as humidity or temperature.
Also, if the equipment have a great resolution the degradation is unnoticeable and filtered by the circuitry.
We're not in the 80's anymore, the Digital is very good and surpasses largely the analog in many areas, if not all.
@@chrischoir3594 96KHz/24bit
It could be better actually ...
@@gbasilveira A digital console has converters though, and they will alter the sound in a negative way. A good analog console may add color, but in a positive way. No we are not in the 80s but converters are still not cheap. A good accurate and transparent 2 ch converter is still in the $1000 price range. Fact of the matter is digital consoles still use cheap converters and cheap converters alter the sound more than you obviously realize. Sure the average drunk and stoned concert goer is not going to notice, but they wouldn't noticed saturation the from an analog console either. Digital consoles are better considering total recall and precision EQ, but saying they sound better than Analog is just plain wrong .
"What makes a good sound engnieer" Start by learning to spell 'Engineer'! 🙂
does he really looks THAT drunk?
Wow. that guy is messed up. I stopped watching after 2:30, could not listen to him anymore.
He sounds like CLA
He is so wasted:))) And those dilatated pupils:))
Wow, I don't usually disagree with older sound guys but after 42+ years as FOH I couldn't disagree more on most of what he just said.
+ You need to learn HOW TO listen. Get your head in the mix. If you don't learn this part go flip burgers.
-The new gear did NOT open things up but rather it shrunk your options.
- Line Array sucks. Every one of those boxes is hitting your ears at a different time. Ouch.
- Kids today (under 40) and I'm pretty sure here, have not heard really good sound. In the 90's they stopped making bass enclosures and went to subs leaving a huge hole in the mix. Our old bass enclosures were half the sound and the driving force of the low frequencies - the part that raised your heart rate and MADE YOU STAND UP! That's gone. The old guys didn't want to carry those big heavy enclosures anymore so out they went. Now we're using TWICE as many enclosures & amps and not getting the quality we used to. 2x the weight and 2x the overall size.
A whole generation, maybe two, that never got to hear "The Beast" sound that we had and loved for decades. It was this "live sound" that got a lot of bands signed back in the day.
I got a call one day at 3:00pm from a FOH friend of mine to go see him at the Target Center in Minneapolis for sound check. He was using a new line array system with a band you know. His overall view was "This sucks! I can't get it mad. Where's the beef?"
I agreed.
Brad Thompson "line arrays suck" yeah ok 🙄👌🏼
Just keep flipping burgers then bud ,sound is obviously not your thing
wow this is like the dumbest thing ive ever read.
Ok boomer
Great lesson Greg
