Adam Boole, FOH Engineer for Bullet For My Valentine, talks us through mixing drums live.

Adam Boole is a Yorkshire based Sound Engineer who is currently mixing Front of House for Bullet For My Valentine. On this show he takes us through his show file and explains how to mix drums for a heavy hitting metal band. He talks us through parallel compression, EQ, groups and fx. In this series he is joined by Ben Hammond FOH Engineer for Skunk Anansie who will be talking us through his showfiles later in the series. The next episodes in the series take us through mixing guitars and vocals for MFMV.
Adam uses an Allen & Heath dLive as his console of choice and explains how the workflow helps to achieve his desired mix with the use of the extensive onboard dynamics and FX.
These shows take place in Reel Recording Studios in York, a fantastic facility that is a recording studio but also hosts rehearsals & streaming events. Please check out their facilities here www.reelrecordi...

Definitely agree in mixing mono (with rare exceptions) since >70% of the audience is out of the "stereo sweet spot" and probably 25% is actually outside the left or right.

Great video. May I know what brand and model of 2 speaker that you use that stand beside your digital mixer? And how often this you used? Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.
