highvoltage Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 GUNS N' ROSES Go Digital In USA - Dec. 5, 2006GUNS N' ROSES are currently on tour through North America. To handle the live shows, audio veteran Toby Francis was tapped for FOH duties, Andy Ebert was selected for monitors, and the Digidesign Venue live sound environment was chosen to run the show, with two Venue D-Show systems in tow for FOH and monitor mixes."This is what I've wanted for years," says Francis. "I've tried everything — at least demoed everything. This is the first console I've wanted to own. I've always looked at the others as a temporary step. Even though some of them I used for four or five years, I was just waiting for technology to advance."Ebert is equally enthusiastic: "I had used digital consoles before, but I never really liked them because of their sound quality and the fact that they're so complicated to operate. What I'm looking for in a digital console is something that's the most like analogue.""GUNS N' ROSES' rhythm guitarist Richard Fortus asked me what plug-in I was using on his guitar and was blown away that it was the same one he used in the studio," recalls Francis. "This is when I first started working for GUNS N' ROSES, and it helped us get a rapport going. Bassist Tommy Stinson pulled me aside last night and said, "This is awesome — I had the monitor engineer [Ebert] put a Fairchild plug-in on my bass and it sounds just like it does at home! I got the same thing in my ears that I'm used to hearing."SOURCE: Blabbermouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highvoltage Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 I'm surprised this actually made it onto Blabbermouth. I'm a GN'R fan and I hardly care about it... let alone everyone else who reads Blabbermouth... Hopefully this will have some sort of impact on the below average mixing at live shows.

Plus he was probably playing with his kids, rooting his wife, and counting his many millions of dollars when he typed that. So please, just give it a rest!

ohyesindeed Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 so.....none of you find it a bit odd that this bands ENTIRE show is being digitally processed before it hits your ears? using plug-ins ONSTAGE?!?! that's hideous......so:between every member having in-ear monitors, the drummer wearing a headset for every song, and the band using a digital board with plug-ins running post-amp while playing the same set every night........how the fuck are they playing live?sounds to me like they're "phoning it in".......

AnEskimo Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 This is actually pretty awesome, no one wants their live music to sound unlike what they are used to. It makes it much more difficult to perform and stay on time with the band when it sounds completely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elsidor Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 so.....none of you find it a bit odd that this bands ENTIRE show is being digitally processed before it hits your ears? using plug-ins ONSTAGE?!?! that's hideous......well it does sound like axl is having a bit of digital help from the sides, no wonder his vocals don't sound shit like they did in 2002. actually it makes sense as if you remember the mtv awards thing (this year) when axl came on and screamed, he went all micky mouse like in 02' mtv prob'ly don't use digital post processing methods that change a shot voice into that of a former rock god.

So yeah, I think the digital technology is helping a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
