« on: December 31, 2010, 12:07:24 AM »

Is it me or is this hard to believe?

While I happen to not be much of a SL fan, I can understand where he is coming from in this instance. I have never toured but I would imagine that having to deal with a different mixer every night would be a pretty big pain in the butt. If you a touring with a board that has all your mixes already on it, I would imagine it isn't really practical to use a house board even if the house board is much higher end than what you have. For theatre work (which is what I do), I would take an M7 over any 48 channel analogue Midas regardless of how much outboard you give me since I want to have scene recall for pretty much every parameter everything.

It's called advertising.

This is very similar to the "Leave it on the truck" thread from a little bit ago.  The tour accountant probably wouldn't be too happy if the gear they acquired for the tour wasn't being used in favor of the house equipment.  

I wonder how long they waited, how many venues with unimpressive house rigs, before they shot the video with the StudioLive next to a Midas, for maximum effect.

This is probably an endorsement deal, which means the band is probably required to use the StudioLive unless circumstances make it difficult or impossible.

Probably not very long being that two of the guys in the video stated it was the first date of the tour.

I'd like them to get back to us after 20 gigs.

I met Ace a couple of times very briefly when he was working for Tower of Power. The tour they did with Tom Jones about 4 or 5 years ago, Tom Jones' FOH guy had a PM5D, Ace wanted a PM 4000. My how times have changed!

Me too, but that was no Venice 320. There was also some pretty cash outboard. That video was like watching someone get excited about a Prius.
