this is great. Do this for more bands! It's incredibly interesting for musicians and geeks alike. Thanks waves!

Pooch and Tater perfect combination

[@Rick01650]

yes! I was waiting for this :)

[@soundsurface710]

Did I saw this right? LP runs on each In Ear mix a: 1. Buss Compressor (4:1), 2. a Multibandcompressor (that does up to -5 dB gain reduction in a broad band between 75Hz-12kHz), 3. a brickwall limiter with up to -9dB gain reduction, 4. a Sonic Enhancer that is mainly used to reduce annoying cymbal bleed, caused most likely due to the insane amount of compression before....seriously?

[@snapascrew]

but does it sound good?

[@thomyyyyyy]

Awesome!

[@chahal_s]

Nice video. Lack of necks is bothersome.

[@DKjoca]

what did Ken mean in 3:13 with this amp on and off thing that makes the guitar itself sounds huge? could you explain this to me and tell me how it works?

[@RecreationalCarrot]

Each guitarist has two amps, with one on to start with, and when they want the sound to get bigger the second amp comes on in combination with the first.

[@DKjoca]

Mike Miller thx mate :)

[@mahu142]

Did they actually heard that latency on InEar is the worst thing on stage for the musicians? PlugIns schould not be on Monitors and InEars

[@dodibali2343]

thats why they are using Waves Digiigrid systems.. to run plugins with zero latency :)

[@mahu142]

No it's not zero latency

[@bolttracks]

***** but very close ;)

[@MalcolmMacgregorSound]

Not really, in IEM the effects are audible well below 1 ms even.

[@evevoxx2053]

"using the analog function" these fkn guys-_- that only recreates the noise floor of the analog equipment, a button you'd never want to use live

[@danieljohn8658]

Indeed in most waves plugins the analog function is only for recreate noise floor (like cla2a and 76) , but the ssl comp and ssl channel don't recreate any noise floor, the analog function is for different behavior of the compressor and the eq.

[@ArmoredMexican]

@@danieljohn8658 interesting, I didn’t know that. Thanks bro

[@playboy1103]

they really have no idea what theyre doing ffs

[@RockmannMusic]

Well, they HAD an idea. Now they have a successful concept. These guys securing the sound for a world top rock act for ten thousands of people and you (and your six comment liker) are who? Doing what? Go and play boy, 11:03 is school
