LightSoundJournal.com: Announced two days before the 30th anniversary of Oasis’ debut album, Definitely Maybe, the Oasis Live ’25 tour marks the band’s first live appearances since they acrimoniously split in 2009. The trek, which has crossed the UK, North and South America, Australia, and Asia, was so highly anticipated that it had the serendipitous and unexpected outcome of prompting six of Oasis’ previous LP releases to re-enter the UK charts, one of which even made it back into the top ten.

It was great to hear about co-mixing engineers! When I mixed shows in high school, I was the only student in our technical theatre class interested in sound design. That meant that I mixed the yearly musical on my own. This was in addition to setting up monitors and microphones for the band and taking care of the lavs for the actors. It was too much for me to mix both the live band and the actors at once, and so I briefly trained a younger student to take over the band. It truly is a weight off your shoulders as a mixing engineer to have someone else working along side you. I would love to work with multiple engineers on a single show though! The mixing engineer talked about deciding the gain structure of the channels together, and mixing the singers to fit with the other engineers’ mixes.
It was also interesting to hear that the engineers allowed some of the singers to have their mixes played in floor wedges, and some in IEMs (In Ear Monitors).
It surprised me that the engineer was working with around 24 stereo channels of effects returns! I remember struggling with only 4 or 5, with different reverbs and EQs.
