OZZY OSBOURNE's Front-Of-House Engineer Interviewed (Video)
January 28, 2011WavesLive.com has uploaded a video interview with Greg Price, front-of-house engineer for Ozzy Osbourne's current "Scream" tour. In the clip below, Price shares a few of his live sound mixing techniques using Waves plugins on a Venue console and talks about the challenges of mixing heavy metal, and explains the chain he uses for Ozzy's vocal.
Says Price: "Ozzy's vocal has a wide range of level. The real challenge in the mic-pre level settings is the wide range of level from Ozzy during the performance. During a song or singing, the level is medium to low. During talking, yelling, or shouting at the audience, the level can be near the top of the mic-pre range. During a verse or chorus, Ozzy will shout out to the crowd; this is where the incredible precision and response of Waves plugins are essential to my success."
