Brian Scheuble on Mixing In The Box

Mixing in the Box

Brian Scheuble (Sheryl Crow, Dave Matthews, Don Henley, Elton John) was an early adopter of the Digidesign ICON integrated console, and gives it high marks for its role in enhancing the Pro Tools environment and his workflow: “For years, we’ve been recording and editing in the digital environment, then when it came time to mix, we were using an external mixer. To me, the ICON really addresses that missing link. It allows me to keep working in Pro Tools, and gives me a degree of integration that’s far deeper than I can achieve on an analog console.”


British Alt-Rockers Placebo Entrust VENUE On Extensive World Tour
Placebo

British alt-rock band Placebo have been traversing the globe on a full world tour since January 2006. During this time, monitor engineer Charlie Bradley has become a big fan of the Digidesign VENUE live sound environment: “The sonic quality of the VENUE consoles, in my opinion, is unsurpassed. Everyone noticed the difference when we switched over to them from the competition’s consoles.”
