Hey, my name’s Shawn Pelton.
And I just want to look
at a couple of tools I use all the time
here in New York on gigs.
This is a bag that goes with me almost all the time.
And the Mackie Mix5
has really been a lifesaver.
I'm able to like, you know,
if we're playing with In-Ears,
have a channel for that
and then submix tracks that I have to play to,
so I can get the level I need to play along with them.
There's a separate channel here
for like a metronome input.
Really small footprint,
I can put this on a stand
by the floor tom or something, out of the way.
And man, it's been great.
I love this thing so much that
I have an extra backup in case
I somehow lose this in a cab, you know?
And then here in my drum room,
I use the 802, which has been great.
And this is a photo of
the drum set up at Saturday Night Live,
and here's a close up. So on the floor tom side
is whatever laptop we used for the opening theme and
we have a 1604 up there,
which has been amazing to have the faders,
to be able to just reach over
and quickly dial in a mix
depending on what we're doing.
And if I need to turn up dialog from the actors,
if they're across the studio, we're playing with them.
It's really been a great tool.
I think before the 1604 we had the 3204
and maybe the faders, it didn’t have the faders,
but this has really been great up at Saturday Night Live.
Lifesaver.
So Mackie's kind of a big part
of surviving here for me, but I use it all the time.
All of these. Really cool. Thank you.
