The Audio Vendor and Band Mixer Relationship

Sound Reinforcement

Chair:
Keith Clark, Live Sound International
Panelists:
Troy Clair, Clair Global
Dave Natale, Audio Resource Group, Inc. - Lancaster, PA, USA

From the moment both parties are confirmed for a music tour, the relationship between the audio vendor and the band’s FOH mixer (and by extension, the monitor mixer) becomes one of the most important factors for the band’s touring sound. Keith Clark, editor of Live Sound International and ProSoundWeb.com, will discuss the details and nuances of this dynamic with two luminaries of the touring music industry: Troy Clair, CEO of Clair Global and Dave Natale, long-time FOH mixer for the Rolling Stones as well as Jeff Beck, Fleetwood Mac, Tina Turner, Van Halen, and many others.
