Projects · in the front of house position of Peter Maffay's We Love Rock 'n' Roll Farewell Tour 2024.

We link the FOH mix of the entire stadium tour in real time with our external, remotely connected recording, mixing and mastering studio.

Our 'Remote FOH Support' is another module of our remote mixing and mastering service.

This innovative way of working allows us to significantly improve the sound at the concert venue through live monitoring, parameter control and evaluation in a perfect acoustic environment.

Many thanks to Peter Maffay for supporting this innovation and enabling more detailed sound and musical work, and to FOH engineer Timo Hollmann for creating an excellent sound.

THAN EVER BEFORE… AT WACKEN

To pull this off, it needed highly skilled technical and creative engineers, some pairs of extraordinary ears, a big portion of good ´metal taste´…

… and the guts to go down new routes.

The audio for both the Wacken Faster and Harder Stages were not only mixed on site in one room, but also remotely mastered and quality-controlled from our Cologne based studio.

Selecting numerous DirectOut Technologies products, the RRN team used six fully-equipped PRODIGY.MCs and PRODIGY.MPs, a couple of MADI.SRCs, two EXBOX.RAV, SPLIT.CONVERTORs, an EXBOX.MD, two M.1K2 to distribute and switch it all and six AVID ProTools systems to mix and record all shows.

We freely switched engineers between the stages depending on their taste, individual experience and their mixing history with the performing artists. There was no fixed allocation to ´one truck` as in the past.

The sound was amazing and as a bonus… we saved 1.6 tons of carbon doing it the sized down and remote way.

Yes - faster, harder, better!

Projects · Inside the MixHub, we were using six ProTools systems to record, mix and master.

Two DirectOut M.1K2s served as central switching and distribution units and two PRODIGY.MPs in a redundant setup to connect with the RemoteMix/Mastering Room in Cologne and to distribute the transmission signals.

Projects · Our newly designed Stage Racks contain two fully-equipped PRODIGY.MCs that can take analogue, MADI, Dante, RAV and AVB signals.

Working very happily with DirectOut devices, Globcon simultaneously controlled production on stage, in the MixHub and to/from our studio in Cologne.

Backup recording was managed using Steinberg Nuendo Live 3 and the audience submix with a Yamaha DM3 which was also controlled via iPad from the Mix Room and same time with a second iPad in Cologne.

The Stage Rack is also designed to handle a 'worst case' back-up scenario, sending a reasonable stereo signal to the world should a catastrophe occur.
