Mixing Garbage Live with FOH Brad Divens

[@stubkar]

This dude didn't just play in bands. He played in one of the most underappreciated bands of all time. Bravo, Brad. Happy to see you still making it happen. Just hoping that those you work for truly appreciate your past. **Climbing the Walls is a classic.**

One of the best engineer period

With regard to the guy behind the drum kit in this band you're gonna need a FOH guy that knows his stuff!:-)

I didn't expect to be getting tips on mixing live with Waves plugins from a three-dimensional man such as Brad Divens today, for sure! This is a real treat, man. I got turned on to them when they played between Annihilator and Testament at the South Hills Theater in Pittsburgh. Immediately blew me away, a great performance. Learned most of their songs and Souls at Zero too, on the guitar. My friends and I dug the SHIT outta Wrathchild America and Souls at Zero. Then I found out I had been listening to him playing the guitar on Kix's 'Cool Kids' album, ha! I remember meeting him backstage at the Metron or Metropolis or whatever it was at that time in Harrisburg when Souls at Zero played with Crowbar (and Sacred Reich?) and it was just so cool to meet him. I remember telling him how much I loved the new Souls at Zero shit, and he was like, "This is really us, who we are...it's from the heart." So good, and original, then and now, both bands they did, they had an ineffable knack for original, unique songwriting, as a group of musicians who wrote together. 5 things you gotta check out about this guy: Wrathchild America's 'Climbin the Walls' and '3-D,' and Souls at Zero: self-titled, 'A Taste for the Perverse,' and the 'Six-t-Six' EP. YES!

You got to love it when the pros show you everything!

[@pabloe9813]

Garbage in, garbage out :D

[@mainthingrecords9838]

And that is Eric Avery from Jane's Addiction on bass... right on!!

[@PepijndeWitte]

It already is! Just search on the waves-audio channel itself

[@hydroalternation]

Just saw this Hey Brad your old bus driver from Wrathchild America ie Spodie Odie is Saying Hello Cheers

[@mickeymiguel2726]

Great information

[@leonardomose]

With all respect, but Garbage should be mixing Souls at Zero or Wrathchild America! Greetings from South America, Brad! Aguante WA/ SAZ!!!!

[@shannonlucas2980]

I bought the 1st Souls at Zero on cassette....extremely underrated record. Incidentally I own the one Kix record w Brad lol🤘

[@alexholmes6333]

If not for the name Brad Divens in the title, you'd think this was Glenn Fricker! "Mixing garbage bands live!"

[@rockboy360]

Amazingly complex process for a live mix, just like a record. You should check out Linkin Park's soundguy too, he's even crazier. Their live shows come out mixed and mastered in real time for the crowd.

[@andreujuanc]

So thats the dude who makes all the magic behing garbage!!! dang! awesome..!

[@Iggykl]

thanks, I suspected that, I just wasn't quite sure if you can install plugins on a console

[@chukrok]

Brad! Wrathchild America!

[@marcthemanimal]

[@UriBlack]

I literally thought he was Going to mix 🗑️ 🤣🤣🤣😆

[@drumlooney]

Yes Butch Vig is the drummer for garbage

[@mrotha]

good stuff, I didn't know how complex mixing has become and just how much is involved.

[@stuarticusrobinson9319]

You seem to have some interlace problems with your output. Very interesting video though.

[@LucasDellaporta]

What venue is this? Looks like it was shot at some casino concert hall.

[@rnfr]

next level shit right there. amazing. can't wait for the day when it's commonplace.

[@gavmurray7398]

you can get the waves digigrid card for a behringer x32 desk now. that day is here people just have to buy the card and the server for the gazzilion desks already in clubs

[@integer22]

Software? That's a Venue Profile console from Avid

[@beltfedbrother6863]

What's he referring to when he says having a "pod" on instruments? For instance, he mentions having a "pod" on the bass as well as a DI. I can only assume he means a microphone, but that terminology is unfamiliar to me.

[@gavmurray7398]

line 6 pod. its a horrible early amp sim multi effects unit in the shape of a red kidney. they would be using axe fx or kempler now

[@rockboy360]

Gavin Murray there are some better PODs now, like the HD series, which I think they use now.

[@gmfrecording]

Its Me or Thats on drums its Butch Vig ?

[@Iggykl]

what software do you use to mix it live?

[@Thadeka.]
