Two Soundcraft Vi6 digital mixing consoles — and two excellent sound technicians to babysit the systems — were provided by AdLib Audio for feature stages at this month’s Latitude Festival.
In charge of the highly influential Uncut Arena was the experienced Walter Jaquiss, while simultaneously the same furious schedule, with back-to-back changeovers, was taking place in the Sunrise Arena, where Otto Kroymann was based.
While bands were turning round within 15 minutes at the stage end, sound engineers were setting up their patches with equal alacrity at front of house — no doubt relieved that in each case a Soundcraft Vi6 digital mixing console awaited them alongside their two mentors.
Otto Kroymann:
“Quite a few sound engineers were using the Vi6 for the first time but everyone said how absolutely brilliant the experience was. None of the sound engineers brought their own show files and so we had a rolling template and incoming engineers would build on [the sound structure] the engineer before had created. Everyone who walked away from the desk commented on the Vi6’s ease of use and how simple it was to bring up any parameter. They all left the desk with a good feeling.”
