Concert Sound System Setup | Depeche Mode live 2018: FoH sound with Antony King - Interview

[@spicecrop]

Those SSL 500s are so freaking sweet. Those sliders are wicked fast. This could be an hour long and I would not be bored.

[@snapascrew]

spicecrop sliders eh ?

[@astrozonemusic]

This guys are truly legend 🙏

[@voorspeller]

Well, this is the person we have to say 'thank you' for that bass drum from hell. In St. Petersburg '17 the drums were like an earthquake. You can also hear it on videos from other concerts. After those perfect SOTU and DM tours it was a bit shocking. 'Our standards are sinking' :)

[@thebeardedmanband9074]

Thank you

"It's nice to have some buttons to touch on analog gear." To his back, an ocean of buttons.

[@alaskaaudioguy35]

Wish they talked about the console more

[@grimlund]

Think about all the shows this guy have done over the years. Things must go south some evenings. We all know that things and gear breaks sometimes. Imagine something cracks down an hour before the show. Or maybe not all the gear arrives to the right place on the right time. There must be a hell of a pressure on these kind of people. Cant be an easy job.

[@DevotionalFilms]

The second show was on 19th January not 18th January. At the 18th Jan DM has played no show :)

[@mothergrid-magazine]

Select The Mode You‘re right, thanks!

[@andym7333]

how much compression does dave hear in his monitors 10 db gainreduction or more ??

[@andym7333]

do foh have vocals in stereo or mono ? and does daves own iem mix have vocals in stereo or mono ?

[@mountaindew287]

Oh yeah. I know some of these words

[@gustavo2100]

And the drums... most of fans complain that it´s too loud!!! why the toms so loud!!! . for godsake!!! it´s an electronic band!!!

[@J7C3B]

The neat thing is that you don't have to attend the show. So why not take this opportunity to keep your opinion to yourself, yah?

[@CristianSirb]

Those people shouldn't attend a live stadium concert in this case... My problem is that on some stadiums the overall sound was poor. Muffled. Strong, but not clear.

[@gustavo2100]

@@CristianSirb me refería eso!!! a que el sonido es tan pobre (principalmente en la última gira) que hizo perder toda la escencia de DM, siendo el baterista ahora el protagonista (WTF!) Ni vos ni JB me van a mandar a no ir a un recital. A DM y tantos grupos los veo desde hace 30 años, y puedo criticar el sonido de mierda que tiene DM porque se me da la gana, y si quiero los sigo yendo a ver, a lo mejor el sonidista se equivoca y sube el volumen del kick drum, los sintetizadores, o mejor aún, lanza una pista y mandamos a Christian a tocar en Aerosmith .

[@AlbinVoetter]

Why use an SSL Console and this much Outboard? AND Waves Plugins aswell...

[@F21012013R]

I am wondering that often. You see often as much outboard as were used on analog mixers.

[@frostsimonsen]

Nope sorry thats is NOT a GML eq ;-).. Thats is the GML 8900 DRC :-P

[@daniellllll]

Peter Simonsen I wonder if he uses it as a limiter, or if it goes before the Smart C1 in the master chain 🤔

[@igorlevch7968]

Does somebody know the intro songs in the first minute?

[@thebasildongirl]

Igor Levch the intro song is "Talking about the Revolution" from Beatles

[@DevotionalFilms]

Igor Levch The first part of the intro is the Beatles song „Revolution“ and the second part of the intro is a part of the Cover Me Alt Out mix.

[@WillyJunior]

pure pornography

[@alexkvitta]

So much Hardware but at the end it’s all mixed in Ableton and make it sound crap. Last time DM sounded good live was back in 1998!

[@gustavo2100]

You genius... in La Plata (Argentina) it sounds too low and weak the bass!!!!

[@carlibeguerie]

Bring the drums down, and let some synths and arps cut through, saw DM a the garden NYC, not bad sound at all, just a lot of drums and vocals, gtrs were there yes. Very little synths, samplers overall. Just MHO.

[@brianungermusic7646]

DM, One of the greatest. Respect! ETS Remake: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZOsnpd5bLumjbM

[@sebastiansinterhauf4490]

I have seen 16 shows so far on this tour. I just wish it would have been better sound for a band like Depeche Mode. The worst sound was in Gdansk, Poland. Way too loud, too much drums, could hardly hear Daves voice. I was always wondering if the Foh guy doesnt hear that it is so bad and why it could not sound better.

[@stanvdovitski7979]

hahaha :D you're my hero

[@shrike9t1]

Sebastian Sinterhauf that is sometimes a Problem, to much shit to Play. With this Equipment they have , should Be possible to Get a good Sound. Even when the Arena / room has Bad acoustics, modern Pa Systems with array Processing Are far Bether than years ago. The Rest is behind the console:)

[@Skiptondesigns]

STILL using a human drummer? It's not DM then.

[@Red_Ford]

Playing live they pretend a rock band ;)

[@spicecrop]

Yeah it's better. fake beats are for pussies.

[@gustavo2100]

@@spicecrop no! real drum, and in the hands of Christian, is a shit!
