AUSTIN, TX – The One 2 One Bar on 5th St. in downtown Austin is one of many local spots where Heil Sound microphones were expected to be used during this year's South by Southwest (SXSW) festival.
During SXSW, the One 2 One becomes a club for festival artist showcases, including an evening sponsored by the Hotel Café. Its 2,000-square-foot rooftop patio is also a popular gathering spot for artists.
Heil Sound gear was also expected to be used at the PureVolume House on Trinity Street, with plans calling for a total of 47 bands to appear during the run of the festival.
James Duvall, whose company Creative Engineering & Solutions handles many area productions, is acting as production manager for PureVolume. A full compliment of Heil mics, including the HDK drum microphone kit and the new PR 31, is being used.
Although SXSW may be best known for its vast array of live shows, recording – whether through webcasts, podcasts or traditional live recording for CDs, is alive and well.
Tucked away in a shack off the beaten path is the new Austin location of the famed Daytrotter Sessions. Daytrotter.com has become one of the most influential music Web sites in the country and will be recording invited artists during the festival.
The Daytrotter recordings are made live to two track, then transferred to a computer and converted to files for Internet use. Heil Sound PR 22s, HDKs, PR 31s and PR 40s will be in use during the recordings.
