| First U.S. DiGiCo
board to dB Sound
|
DiGiCo has announced
its first U.S. sale of a D5 Live digital console to Chicago’s dB Sound.
The console is currently in Europe for a tour by Ministry. Lee Popa, vice
president of tour development for dB Sound, is handling mix duties for the
tour.
Ministry’s line-up includes two drummers, bass guitar, 16 tracks
of Akai samplers, three guitar players, including co-founder Al Jourgensen,
mandolin and harmonica.
“With Ministry having so many inputs,” says Popa, “and
acoustic drums and things like that, I can keep a better handle on it using
this desk and watch things that are happening. There’s so much stuff,
but now I don’t have to just work on the snare drum for an hour. I
press the button and the gain is set approximately for how we would like
it in the show and then I do little minor gain adjustments and little minor
EQ adjustments.”
Also useful, he explains, is the ability to store presets to match different
types of house systems encountered on the tour, in this case dB’s
own Electro-Voice
X-Array, Nexo and Turbosound:
“I already have EQ and dynamics set-ups in the desk for these different
PA systems. So today when I started I put up my Turbosound mix and I adjusted
the snare drum, because he put a new hi-hat on. And everything else came
up right. Bass drum was a little loud because the bass drum mic wasn’t
in the exact same position. So it’s amazing for me.
