Nick you are the light in the tunel!!! I used to by all the magasines from FOH, SounOnSound, EQ mag, Systewm Construstor, AudioMedia....just to have all the info about these guys that kick and here ya go! After pandemic and with the start of the digital era , all those are gone and kids nowdays don't get the insight if how things work. Here comes a dude called Nick DeLaCruz and just give away all that info once costing sooooooo much money and time, as we needed to wait for the magazines to be posted to us, but now we have all this at our fingertips. long live Nick and a big thanx from the FOH mixing society!
I actually followed this from Matt Horn’s Instagram post. That much said, I thought I was smart before watching this video and now I know I was wrong. There’s so damn much info to process in this interview!
Nate was the one of the first like “big time” engineers that encouraged me and kinda made me feel like I had a chance to be good at it. Guy absolutely rocks.
There were probably 10 times watching this I almost couldn't believe it was real it was so amazing seeing, hearing and learning everything especially being new to what I say for me sound engineering (speaker/area sound nut so mixing:P). Thank you so much Nick and Nate for making and sharing this! And I've already been thinking/planning to have certain shows that are 18+ bc kids are cool but not all the time, now I'm definitely all about planning certain show that are all analog with old school everything with everyone artists vs the new digital shortcuts that I'm still about using at other larger 'kid friendly' arena shows (not that I'm anything but a garage kid right now! lol). Thanks again 🤘
Nate is 100% a perfectionist. Being from his home town even his bands he played in 20 years ago still heavily influence the local scene in STL. Myself included
I love when I see the videos come out thank you so much for doing this as a musician and engineer it really helps to see this the information I often find to be priceless and the bands live sound is always impeccable so that’s a testament as well to the foh engineer talent
