AMNÉVILLE, France — One of France’s largest and most impressive live music events — The Lorraine de Choeur 2013, held in the Galaxie d’Amneville — featured a 2,000-member choir, soloists, a 50-piece orchestra and electric band. For virtual sound checking and recording a whopping 224 channels of audio, the choice was four JoeCo BlackBox BBR64MADI systems.
DuShow technical director Philippe Barguirdjian and his sound team were responsible for mixing and recording the three shows, each of which lasted around four hours. For rehearsals, four linked BBR64MADI systems were connected directly to the DiGiCo SD7 and SD10 consoles at FOH. Here, the recorder’s virtual sound check facility came into its own, enabling singers to save their voices for the shows, while Barguirdjian and team worked tirelessly on perfecting mixes in the large concert hall. The team also used the JoeCoRemote for iPad extensively for remote control.
The BBR64MADI systems were supplied to DuShow by JoeCo’s French distributor SCV Audio, Paris.
