Description: For the first time, MWTM presents a series of programs about the exciting world of live sound engineering! From a warehouse in Germany to the Accor Arena in Paris, you will be led on a journey by FOH engineer Hans Zimmer Colin Pink. These ten parts provide a comprehensive introduction to the preparation and execution of The World of Hans Zimmer, a dazzling show that combines orchestra, live band and soundtrack. Colin will walk you through the hardware involved, including the digital console, hardware processing, room correction software, speaker arrays, and more. You will witness various stages: from remote calibration to virtual soundcheck, live soundcheck and what happens in between. In addition to Pink sharing his approach, other qualified professionals also shed light on their areas of expertise. Comparisons are made between live and studio workflow, with concepts that are largely applicable to both environments. Some of Colin’s tricks can be a discovery for those involved in mixing records, so the series is intended for all engineers!
