This Month in Mix
Hugh Johnson
After 14 years of mixing FOH for Vince Gill, Hugh Johnson stays focused. During one of those rare moments when he's at his West Nashville home, Johnson took a few minutes to chat with Mix.
What do you use on Vince's vocals?
We've used the Shure SM87C for years. It's flat-sounding and is great
at rejecting onstage sounds. After the board's preamp insert, his vocal
goes through a Summit DCL-200, BSS 901 and a Showco TEQ graphic EQ. I
use TC reverbs exclusively on vocals. The System 6000 is miraculous,
and the 24/96k processing has revolutionized digital electronics for
me.
Does your enthusiasm extend to consoles?
I've just switched to a DiGiCo D5 Live console, the first digital
mixer I've used that sounds good and functions like an analog
mixer.
Have you discovered any “must-have” piece of
gear?
The Clair I/O unit: a crossover/EQ device that operates from a
touchscreen. Wireless Ethernet connects a Gateway Tablet PC to FOH
single-rackspace devices.
Do you have a preferred venue?
Probably the Kiel Center in St. Louis.
What do you do when you're off-duty?
I'm a Harley rider and ride as often as I can. I play a litle golf, do
woodworking and a lot more lawn maintenance than I care to admit.
