Pendulum, one of the greatest electric bands of our time, have just released their new record "Immersion".
The west Australian drum’n’bass rocker's third studio album has 15 brand new tracks to offer and just went straight into the official UK Album Chart at NUMBER 1.
Their first two albums went platinum, so let's wait and see where this one ends up. :-)

During recording "Immersion", a MindPrint DTC was deployed. The charismatic LED-port light of the DTC can also be seen in the video interview "Pendulum at EarStorm".

This year, Pendulum will go on tour severely and play at some of the biggest festivals, to make the crowd’s blood boil at venues like "Rock am Ring" Germany, "Leeds Festival" England and "RockNess Festival" Scotland.

"Immersion" release date in Germany is 04 June 2010, other countries to follow soon.

After the giant success of the "Funhouse" Tour in 2009, P!NK will be playing 30+ stadium gigs for her fans all over Europe to celebrate the "Funhouse Summer Carnival". It was also confirmed that P!NK will headline music festivals throughout Europe during the tour.
In a radio interview she disclosed that there will be a new setlist and even some new stunts, confirming that the tour isn't just a continuation of her previous tour.

P!NK is really looking forward to the "Funhouse Summer Carnival", her fans and her special guests like Gossip, Paolo Nutini, Good Charlotte and OneRepublic.
Butch Walker stated that he plans on performing a duet with P!NK at selected shows. For part of a song, P!NK is in a large ball, crawling above the hands of the audience.

Also involved are sound engineer Chris Madden, who will bombard the fans with a live-sound in the desired quality of a CD, and his secret weapon, his DTC that also goes well together with the colour of the stage curtain (see Chris at FOH;-)

The "Funhouse Summer Carnival" will be an unforgettable P!NK concert and a must see for 2010. Get the party started!

As many as 7 EN-VOICE MKII and 1 DTC are touring with Mando Diao, currently Europe's most successful rock band. With hits like "Dance with somebody" and "Gloria", they have their finger on the pulse and enthuse the masses with "modern vintage style" sound.

The DTC is patched to the guitar subgroup and takes care of the electric guitars. The EN-VOICE MKII are mainly to handle the excessive vocals of the Swedish singers and their background girls.

One of the EN-VOICE MKII even made its way on stage. Bass player Carl-Johan Fogelklou aka C.J. checked the red preamp and loved it so much that he installed it permanently to his bass stack. C.J. uses the EQ to get rid of the unwanted low rumble and to boost the low mids. Then the signal gets slightly compressed, and the ECC83 tube is used to add harmonic overtones – this treatment keeps the sound handy and punchy.

BTW: to record the vocals of their current album "Give me fire" (chart #1 in half of Europe), Mando Diao have been using a origin EN-VOICE in their swedish studio.

When touring with one of the hottest pop acts on the planet, you can live a life of luxury, filling your 19" racks with the noblest and most expensive outboard gear – or so you might think. But if you're checking the FoH setup of the current PINK "Funhouse" live production, you will realize that the only piece of analogue hardware is a DTC channel strip from MindPrint!

Sound Engineer Chris Madden thought carefully when he chose the equipment he needed for the tour – and ended up with just the DTC!
Chris: "I love this unit! It is my swiss army knife, I can use it on just about anything. Although the production is controlled by a Digidesign VENUE desk, fully loaded with plug ins and total recall, I allow myself the luxury of carrying the DTC. For the last two shows, I’ve used it on Violin and Cello. But this might change again tomorrow."

As the DTC EQ acts very musically, Chris has no problem using extreme settings. The HiMid filter of the violin channel for instance is turned fully to the left stop, to get rid of the instrument's annoying high mids. The opto-compressor with the tube limiter gives perfect control over dynamics, so the violin fits the band sound perfectly.
"I’ve used the DTC on all my recent tours including The Waterboys, James, Sugababes and Joe Cocker - and I will definitely reserve it some rack space in the future."

To date, PINK has won two Grammy Awards, a Brit Award and nine MTV Video Music Awards; her records go multi-platinum regularly. Newest to her collection is the "Sold Out" Award, this for acts who succeed in selling all tickets, for every single seat of a Venue.

PINK's "Funhouse" tour continues until end of December 2009. The live sound is of CD quality, the show is entertainment at its best – straight, rocking and powerful. Don't miss it!
