On Tour with Blink-182 

It may all seem like fluff, but when you watch any video of their concerts its remarkably crisp sound, with clear and distinct channels. Unlike so many other concert videos recorded on cell phones

Blink-182 has a sick audio setup 🔥

No wonder they sounded so good at Bridgestone!

Heard this first hand in Chicago on 5/6. Definitely the most present mix I've ever heard on the floor (5th row), I could hear the articulation in everything. Also, having fractal for the guitars doesn't hurt if you are going for that in-your-face vibe. It felt like the mix was made just for my listening position and not for everyone else in the united center. A perfect sounding show...

Hey if Blink 182 can get $400 a head and fill mega stadiums in 80 cities, over 100 days, then six $40K-$80K racks of great Neve gear isn't out of reach.

It's a hard job making Tom and Mark sound good vocally, so great job sound engineers!

Not hard to tell they are planning another live album. All that hardware is not standard for shows. They are polishing capturing the audio for each show. Id say after this album, youll see a live album come out.

Amazing ! Great to know more about live production thanks

see you in cologne next week! 🤘🎸

I’ve been using thr big portico II channels for guitar and vocals at live gigs for years. Once you do, you never want to go back.

Finally!!! 🙌🏻

The fact Blink is hiring engineers that use Rupert Neve is also a big accomplishment. I think its because of Marks Production/Studio background he built when Tom left. I have no doubt Blink will sound the best this time around, also proud Tom really has improved his live vocals.

wow this is amazing

This is so killer. the 5045s are life savers. I've seen the shelfords alot lately. I need to try some.

Amazing!

So dope

i have those compressor on my live 11 Working so well with Vocal 👍👍

i was at the cologne show 2 weeks ago and i wondered why it sounded so good, now i know haha

Damn!!! Its cool 🎉

Love ya Charlie 💙

Awesome

I wish the would publish that audio for sale. I love their live stuff. It would be a dream to get audio better than just someone’s camera.

The 5045 is absolutely my favorite

The craziest thing is that there is a $75 candle on top of the board for some reason.

Meanwhile my band has to play through a Behringer Xenyx lol

Would love to have some Neve gear in my home studio but sadly, it's expensive.

That intro is literally Skate or Die Teenage Bottlerocket. :>

I like the intro song

🔥🔥🔥

I thought I was getting a rig rundown. I got an ad

God bless you all. Perfect job . )

Background music not even blink. Nice behind the scenes thought.

please make the shelly pre in either standalone rack, or even better 500 thanks

💯

Okay but the song in the background?? I’m thinking it’s new music 👀 I had such a great time at the LA 7/16 show, thanks for all your hard work!

daaaaaaaaaaaang

Great video but I'm a firm believer in show don't (just) tell. Would have loved to hear a bit of live audio that had gone through the equipment.

understandable, but he didn't mention the tubetechs 😍

i spot some dt1770 pro cans at the FOH!

a real vocal chain for live performance.....can you all send me a shelford for my home studio :)

RAYRAY!

Mark and Tom seem so serious nowadays

DOUBLE BLIND TEST

Any rig run downs of mark and toms gear

Dante is crazy

Why do you need that Stuff 2x? For the FOH make sense to me, thats what the people hear in the concert. But why all that stuff for the monitoring? As if the 3 guys from the band care that their monitor mix is looped through a dozen analog racks.

Haha! He basically have a premium analog mastering stage in there 😂

Whats being used on guitars and bass?

How many racks of autotune are they using on this tour?

I miss Tom Vein as his MT.

I’m so sorry, but in Bologna was impossible to recognize the voice of Tom from the parterre 😡

What interface are they using ? Can anyone tell?

Can you use the mbt bus transformer for mixing vocals?

Hey uh tell Tom to rock that Messa Boogie amp again and set those flanger again

En serio llevan tantos equipos para una banda de solo tres músicos?

All that hardware to sound like that??

What’s the name of the song at the beginning?

What’s toms autotune chain!? It’s not like we care

Did homeboy say he was going line in for vocals? Was there another preamp in that he was using before hitting the channel that he didn't mention or did he legit go from a mic to a line input? Oof.

That's what you do when you basically have unlimited cash at your disposal

We had a pretty bad sound in Belgium, sitting upstairs (in the cheap seats). I know the place wasn't designed for good acoustics, but the bass drum covered every other sound. Couldn't hear any guitar or voice for the whole show, except when drums were silent. I guess nobody monitored the sound upstairs. Everyone seemed to have a good time downstairs though

One of those racks of gear cost more than a house.

I want their jobs.

Why did Denver sound so bass heavy - that kick was boomy- a little rough

please improve camera handling and audio mixing

He should go back to the Studio

Why was the guitar so quiet throughout the tour?

still prefered self title era, most banger and agressive style punk of blink

Is the pitch correction on their live vocals done in abelton?

He skipped over the pitch correction hardware lol.

Hey can I have a job

🫡🥵

now you know why the tickets are way over priced

Teenage Bottlerocket skate or die vibes intro 😬😬

cool, now do us all a favour and tell blink to bring in a backing guitarist to fill in the sound.

bruh crank up toms guitar

promo sm

lastima que todo eso es para amplificar la bateria nada mas..por q todo lo demas es grabado ...la verdad q es lamentable q tom este haciendo play back

still doesn't sound as good as his mesa boogie triple rec's

All of the kids will defend the digital audio set up, but his live tone is nowhere nearly as good as it used to be. I went to 2 shows on the current tour and although they sound good overall (mostly due to tons of auto tune and backing tracks), his guitar tone sounds weak as well if we’re behind honest.

They sound awful live. And I'm not spending that much regardless. Saw them in 2001 and that was good enough.

Saw Blink last weekend in Antwerp and despite all this expensive gear the sound was a completely horrible, indistinguishable mess. You had to really know the songs to be able to make out what song they were playing.... Definitely not "studio sound" haha. Although I have to admit, the venue is one of the shittiest "arena's" Belgium has to offer...

all this stuff is not necessary lol

studio guys have ruined live sound
