    "... where his vocal basically wrap around the rest of the set like a warm blanket" is probably the best description I've ever heard of Devin's voice.

    I went back to school recently to do a sound engineering program. When DTP played Toronto a few weeks ago I asked Lisa if I could ask her a few questions about her setup. She spent a good 15-20 'minutes giving me a tour of the booth and answering any questions I had.. She's not only a great sound engineer but a really nice person, happy to see you guys spending some time on her in these vids!!

      I really like her, I would absolutely love to go to a workshop if she held one.

      Her intelligence is intimidating to my dream of playing music lol. I bet she's done this forever AND is a natural at it

  • @drury2361

    Never knew the sound person's job was so complex. Thanks for the insight, Zim and Lisa!

    • @necroplastful
      @necroplastful 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      depends of the music and the band. But were talking about Devin here and he could do her job easily if he could. So being a sound engineer for Devin is like the top of the cake of skills and nowledge.

    • @randomguyuk2
      @randomguyuk2 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      It's been 7 years since I studied audio engineering and left the field, but it still hurts to remember that people have no idea what the sound person does (but assume it must be simple)! haha

    From one sound engineer to another, YOU'RE AWESOME LISA.

    Man, all this stuff is so cool. It's easy to be blown away by Devin, Ryan, Beav, Dave, and Mike (and on special occasion Anneke) while they're on stage, but all the extra stuff that Lisa and Mike and the rest of the crew is equally astonishing close up. Cheers, Zim!

  • @progfoxmusic

    hey zim, thanks for the techy close ups like this! I love this kinda shit. Thanks!!

  • @xjoalx

    Amazing! Now we need: 1. Daily video starring Lisa, 2. Q&As with Lisa, 3. A reality Show about Lisa, 4. T-shirts, hats... Make it possible Zim

  • @francoisSwine
    @francoisSwine 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Definitely, a sound engineer is ALSO a member of the band in a concert, I like the fact that musicians have the humility to speak about such a critical function during a concert :-)

  • @MikeCaputo
    @MikeCaputo 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I saw Zim twice walking around at this show and I wasn't able to stop him and let him know how much I love his videos, so I'm doing it now. Love the videos, Zim! Keep 'em coming!

    These videos make me feel three things. Admiration, a sense of urge to play live again as soon as possible, and I have a crush on Lisa.

  • @JustinC905
    @JustinC905 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Damn, no wonder it sounds wicked. Waves Audio is #1. Man, she does a wicked job. I wonder what type of hardware they need to run that board. If the VSTs are directly on the board, or if the board is hooked up to a computer, essentially running midi controlled interfaces. I guess if they all run AxeFX racks, you'd have a better way to interface FOH.
    What complicated shit that would be! I use Linux with Ardour, JACK. a couple different midi controllers with low latency/ real-time kernels and that alone with just me messing around difficult enough! I couldn't imagine the routing with the everyone.
    Is RVP also connected via midi? I wonder what type of audio gear he uses to get the sound that he gets. Obviously everything is routed to FOH, and through waves. But I wonder if he uses more than that.

    This world needs more people like Lisa. Knowledgeable, practical and hard-working female engineers in all disciplines are sadly lacking thanks to male bias. I have consistently found women to make better, more capable engineers, and far less prone to ego-throwing than men. Nice to see so much objectification in the other comments....

    Do they travel with their own mics and everything too? Seems like they bring everything but the PA.

  • @ObscureBeast
    @ObscureBeast 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    That RBass plug-in may be the best plug-in for adding in your bass or sub frequencies. You'd think boosting around 32-250hz in something like a Waves eq would do the same but all these plug-ins have a different transient which makes a huge difference in sound. Example: a +6db increase of 56hz in RBass sound way more clear and full than a +6db increase of 56hz in Wave VEQ4. RBass is really great for adding in some bass into my kicks or some subtle subs in my mixes.

    The only thing I don't like about using the SD9 (in my case T console) is the macro buttons and lack of labelling and pages and the faders... for a £16,000 desk... the faders are terrible!
    Also anyone know if Lisa is using the whole power of 2 impact servers of its a redundant system?

    Not sure if it's been mentioned or asked, but I'm sure there's tons of people wondering what type of equipment you're using to film. Camera's, mics, lighting, editing software??? At least one person is interested. Plus, your website zimzimy.com is not working. Amateur filmmakers want to know! Great job, bud.
