"Then a really big thing for me is its low latency. Ultimately, it boiled down to three determining factors: "Firstly, you get a consistent high-quality sound every night,” he explains. "I had my Apollo sitting on my desk and thought that it might solve the problem, because I could pre-program it with three different drum and vocal reverbs and a delay, and fire them up at venues instead of having to dial them in every day on different units.”īefore taking the Apollo out live, David did a lot of research to determine whether or not it would be reliable enough. It's not such a problem using digital boards because I can usually pre-program a file and load it onto the board as a preset, but the O'Brother tour was pretty small, so for the majority of it we'd be in venues with analogue consoles and hardware effect units like the Yamaha SPX 900, 990 or TC Electronic M-One. A delay cue is a simple tap-tempo change, but I wasn't sure I'd have time to set up all the reverbs for different instruments and song sections.

The guy who mixed their last record used a ton of different delays and reverbs, and as I was preparing for that tour, I was wondering how to do all the changes. "It started with a band called O'Brother, from Atlanta, Georgia. "The Apollo was something that I bought for the studio but decided to take on the road,” says David.

The most significant piece of studio gear that David uses live is the Universal Audio Apollo Firewire audio interface, which is a 1U hardware host for UAD plug-ins, remotely controlled by a software mixer called Console.ĭavid's Apollo is the eight-in, eight-out quad-core model fitted with four DSP chips, and he runs it at 96kHz for shows.

It wasn't long before he decided to bite the bullet and start taking some of his studio gear into the live environment, and he hasn't looked back since. At the same time, he was taking on a little live-sound work at small venues, but became frustrated with the limitations imposed by the gear he was using.

"It's now feasible to use good microphones, plug-ins that emulate 1176 compressors and Neve gear, and do all kinds of crazy things to sound that, until recently, you could only do in a studio.”ĭavid's original dream was to become a studio engineer and producer and, after working as an intern at 301 Studio in Brisbane, Australia, he began investing his hard-earned cash in some professional recording equipment. "It's a really exciting time for live sound, and I think that is one of the reasons why I have continued doing it rather than recording,” says David Williams, live sound engineer for progressive punk act La Dispute and other bands such as Title Fight, Deer Tick and O'Brother. Yes, I know all about the UAD Liverack and I'm sure all this is possible in its software, but it's only Quad processing compared to the 12 I have now & I do also use the Analogue I/O on the Apollos.Front-of-house engineer David Williams talks to SOS about why mixing with a DSP audio interface is worthwhile, despite the dangers of using a laptop on stage. Any insert effects would be recalled using the normal Save/Load menu in console. If it were possible to 'recall safe' channel strips and/or individual plugins that would make for a perfect solution to this problem. I know I can use the UAD plugins in Liveprofessor, but one of the things I really like using UAD console is that it doesn't fall over if the host computer crashes.

The only way I can see round this at the moment is to separate the system and have, say, 2 Apollos on one macbook for inserts and the third on a second macbook for FX. As soon as the next FX snapshot was fired the insert channels would revert to their previous state. Tedious and prone to error - certainly no way it could be done mid show.

an eq or compressor - and have the changes reflected over the whole show, I'd have to make the same tweak and update every snapshot for every song. The problem is that if I want to tweak any plugins - eg. in console and have snapshots for FX parameters for each song, all fired from Liveprofessor or whatever. I recently discovered the console recall plugin and thought I'd hit the jackpot - Goodbye Waves forever - I'd be able to run UAD reverbs etc. Up to this point I've been using it like a very flexible outboard rack. This has been working well & is rock solid. I'm using a MADI to Adat converter to allow me to insert plugin chains via console at very low latency. I've been using a couple of Silver face Apollo 8s in a live situation for a year or so & it's been a game changer. I have a feeling this may be a bit niche but if you don't ask. First post - sorry if this has been discussed before but a search didn't bring anything up.
