PSW Staff 01/24/11 05:44 PM, 0 CommentsWith 2011 Grammy nominations for Best New Artist and Best Rock Song (“Little Lion Man”), Mumford & Sons have gone from complete unknowns to hot property in less time than it takes some bands to record an album. The West London-based quartet have topped the charts in Australia, recorded with the Kinks’ Ray Davies, and recently completed a sold out U.S. tour that included appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.… View this story

PSW Staff 08/11/10 03:45 PM, 1 CommentLive sound veteran Greg Price has seen a lot of changes in his 30 years on the road. An early adopter of Avid VENUE, Price integrated the Avid VENUE D-Show system into his front-of-house work, including on tours with longtime client, metal legend Ozzy Osbourne. And he’s particularly passionate about the system’s tight integration with Pro Tools, which he points to as a paradigm shift in the way music is recorded and performed. Price recently recorded a six-song live EP… View this story

PSW Staff 06/23/10 05:27 PM, 0 CommentsFast-growing Mission Community Church in Gilbert, AZ offers a new 1,500-seat sanctuary that packs multiple services weekly, drawn by the church’s modern worship experience. As Mike Work, the church’s executive pastor of operations explains, Mission Community’s approach is anything but traditional. “Words like ‘choir’ and ‘pulpit’ aren’t even in our vocabulary,” he says. “We think (of our services as) more like a rock show. Technology’s such a big part of people’s lives today, and we try to use technology to… View this story

PSW Staff 04/29/10 04:31 PM, 2 CommentsFor a live sound engineer, few gigs are more challenging than mixing an old-school audio aficionado, but for veteran Front of House Engineer Wayne Trevisani, it’s just another day at the office. When R&B superstar Maxwell kicks off his BLACKsummers’night tour this month, Trevisani will be mixing the 10-piece band at the helm of a VENUE D-Show System. “This time out, Max really wants to go back to a true old-school R&B vibe,” says Trevisani, “and you don’t get much… View this story

PSW Staff 04/21/10 10:37 AM, 0 CommentsHow to you mix a live performance of some of the most iconic music in modern culture, performed by the icon himself? Like the song says, you just let it be. For more than 20 years, Paul “Pab” Boothroyd has been the keeper of the keys to Paul McCartney’s live sound, and that’s been his philosophy. “These are songs that every person in the audience has an attachment to,” Boothroyd says. “Whether it’s a particular guitar hook or a certain… View this story

Mark Frink 04/09/10 03:44 PM, 1 CommentFrom the smallest van tours to the biggest worldwide touring attractions, digital consoles have established themselves for convenience, consistency and ease of workflow. The modern sound system has neatly divided itself into two major products: loudspeakers and consoles. Most analog consoles have the advantage these days of having been paid for, along with sonic quality and a familiar knob-per-function single-page control surface. However, any production manager can tell you the advantages of digital consoles: footprint, size, weight, repeatability, consistency and… View this story

PSW Staff 04/01/10 10:31 AM, 0 CommentsNearly two decades since a handful of congregants gathered in a rented school cafeteria for Kensington Church’s first service, today Kensington’s five campuses are the epitome of activity. Bustling with activity, there’s always something going on from youth programs and community groups to multiple services throughout the week. Kensington’s main campus in Troy, Michigan recently upgraded its sanctuary with a new Avid VENUE Profile system. As veteran engineer, Tim Corder explains, the VENUE is the first phase of an upgrade… View this story
