Tech Diary Part 3 - Vile Electrodes In Germany

Its Wednesday, it must be Bielefeld   06-Jun-13

Rack 2

Drawmer DL221 Comp/lim
Samson quad comp/lim

The limiters are there for voice levelling duties and levelling the synth submixes. Kick and snare are processed for extra punch. They also act as gates to help kill the noise from the RS09 and Polysix

Waldorf Pulse
Bass reinforcement duties and backup. Replaced the Moog Minitaur which became unreliable during rehearsals

The Bielefeld gig goes down a storm and there is great demand for merchandise and signing. There is even a chap who has brought along his  Korg Micro Preset to be signed.. Obviously by OMD as this was their signature synth on Messages and many other hits

With another successful gig under the belt, we have a long drive ahead to Berlin and opt to drive on though the night to ensure we have our day off in this magical city.

 5 hours of driving overnight is tiring, but there is nothing quite like watching the sky change from the deepest black through the various shades of violet to the tints of blue that hint of the dawn and the arrival of a new day and a new city.. Good Morning Berlin
