15 - Stage Plots and Europe Tour

On this week’s episode of The Art of Music Tech, Fela and Denis discuss the upcoming Europe tour for Grammy award winning, Christian McBride Big Band. Winners of the Grammy for ‘Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album’ are taking on tour with Fela, with their first destination being France. During this podcast, Fela and Denis discuss the importance of pre production and the perks of bringing your own engineer on tour. The two audio experts also explain the importance of a stage plot for saving time, knowing your own setup, and your own input list (which also allows you to know which channel gets high pass filters, compressors, etc.) Below we provided links for Lewitt Audio, which is the top brand Fela uses to mic the band on tour.   Check out Stage Plot Pro to Stay Organized and to Save Time on Tour! - https://www.stageplot.com/   On Piano and Drums (Overhead Mic), Fela uses a Lewitt LCT 550, Check it Out Here:  https://www.amazon.com/Lewitt-Self-Noise-Large-Diaphragm-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B00XR5FL0Y/ref=sr_1_1?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1526063902&sr=1-1&keywords=lewitt+550   The Christian McBride Big Band consists of multiple instruments such as drums, bass, piano, horns, trumpets, trombones, saxophones, and more.
