Ken “Pooch” Van Druten at the helm in the broadcast booth at FADER FORT during SXSW

Two Allen & Heath iLive-T112 and iDR-64 mix engines outfitted with the latest M-WAVES interface cards were used for the broadcast feed and production of Fader Fort. The audio workflow began with microphones capturing sound from the stage, which was then channeled through an Allen & Heath MixRack and iLive audio consoles.

The signal was processed in real time by a Waves SoundGrid audio networking platform controlled by a Dell Precision M4700 mobile workstation. Two Dell Precision T5600 tower workstations with dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 processors captured all channels of audio for archival purposes. The final mix was sent from the iLive console to the TriCaster 800 where it was married with the video signal coming from the cameras onstage.
