After a few summer festivals, The Black Eyed Peas’ The Energy Never Dies tour began with September shows in Japan and October shows “down under.” And the Stage is Set A stagehand’s view of one of the Clair i5 and i5b line arrays being flown. This feature article is provided by The Peas are riding high from three recent Grammy Awards and the double-barreled success of Boom Boom Pow and I Gotta Feeling, which close the show with obligatory confetti cannons. The set starts with smoke, green lasers, pop-up appearances and “Let’s Get It Started.” Ten songs into the set, Apl.de.ap and Taboo have solos, followed by a pop interlude from Stacy “Fergie” Ferguson, and finally, Will.i.am rocks the house with a DJ set played from a platform that rises from mid-arena at the end of the runway, including a free-style rap based on (tour sponsor) Blackberry text messages sent from the crowd scrolled across the ample video screens.

The 14-box Clair i5 arrays are powered by Crown Macro-Tech MA- 3600VZ amplifiers, with the companion 14-box i5b low-frequency extension arrays powered by QSC PowerLight 9.0pfc amps. The arena side sections are covered by 8-box i5 and i5b arrays, while the side sections farthest back are reached by 3-box arrays of three-way Clair R4 enclosures. An ego ramp extends out into the middle of the arena floor. Across the front of the stage on each side of the ramp are 14 dual-18 Clair “Bow Tie” (BT) subwoofers, powered by amps.

They support P2 frontfills and Showco SRM wedges, all powered by Lab.gruppen amps. Four more BT 218 subs are used on each side of the stage, and 6-box arrays of Showco “Blue” Prism enclosures are flown as sidefills, also powered by Crown MA-3600VA amps. Audio services are supplied by Clair Brothers, which had a similar system in the arena four nights earlier for John Mayer. Early Adopter Front of House Engineer Dave Haines (left) and Monitor Engineer Ryan Cecil with the Digidesign Venue console. Front of House Engineer Dave Haines has been with the Peas for a dozen years – the group’s entire career – and was instrumental with the recording that originally got them signed to Interscope Records.

As a Pro Tools veteran, he was an early adopter of the Avid Digidesign Venue console, and has probably logged more hours on it than any other engineer. Haines uses the original D-Show Venue control surface with a single 16-fader sidecar. His quiet confidence belies the energy he will unleash on 15,000 fans. There’s remarkably little outboard equipment.

Under the console, a rack holds a CD player, TASCAM CD-RW901 recorder, plus a pair of Shure DFR11EQs for two channels of feedback suppression used on Fergie’s vocals, which Haines says helps considerably. Finally, a Dolby Lake processor is set up for eight channels of Mesa EQ for the main system. And MaxxBass bass enhancement plug-ins are applied to the main left-right mix bus. Beside Haines, a Motion Computing Tablet runs the Lake Controller software, while a second computer equipped with an USB interface and an Audix TR40 microphone runs Rational Acoustics Smaart. Backstage, six more Dolby Lake Processors are used for the mains and three more are in the monitor rig. Assisting Haines is System Engineer and Crew Chief David Moncrief, a touring veteran who previously worked with the tour’s Production Manager Tim Miller on ‘N Sync, which Miller also mixed.

Haines relies heavily on limiter and MaxxBass bass enhancement plug-ins, which are both used on the main left-right mix bus. The L2 is also inserted on the Juno and Moog keyboards, ddrum electronic kick drum, and Will.i.am’s DJ rig.

They were heavily employed on the record, which he strives to accurately reproduce, recreating the album’s dance club vibe in arenas by “pushing the low end and getting the bass in your chest.” An Antares Auto-Tune plug-in is used shamelessly as a contemporary dance music effect and is Haines’ “go to” compressor, also applied to the main mix to keep it “in the box.” Other plug-ins include EchoFarm and ReverbOne for effects as well as Focusrite’s ISA 110 and 130 from the Forte Suite for Fergie’s vocal, who Haines also mixes when the Peas aren’t touring. Her presence in the show forces Haines to walk a tightrope between mixing a pop show and a hip-hop concert, at which he succeeds brilliantly. He paraphrases Spinal Tap with the audio department’s motto: “It’s a fine line between thump and mud.” Contemporary Effects Reaching for the sync’ing feature on the new Sennheiser IEM systems. Boston native Ryan Cecil, who I originally met on Norah Jones’ first tour, mixes monitors on a Digidesign Profile. His challenge, even more than for Haines, is that his performers really expect to hear the album every night. His favorite plug-in is the on keyboards, and he also uses Antares Auto-Tune because, unlike other artists who use it to enhance their singing, the Peas like it in as a contemporary effect and want to hear it in their monitor mixes.
