Using MaxxVolume for Live Sound

MaxxVolume is a dynamics processor that's becoming a secret weapon for a lot of us in the world of live sound. My first exposure to it was on opening night of Bruce Springsteen's tour.

John Cooper Music Mixer / FOH Engineer

Bruce Springsteen, Keith Urban, Sheryl Crow

“MaxxVolume is my go-to for general dynamics processing. I use it on main vocals with astounding results. It contains the dynamics and helps bring out the subtle parts in the voice that would otherwise get lost on the busy stage that I have.”

Bob Ludwig Mastering Engineer

Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney

“I needed something that could handle this extremely wide range of source materials, and that could get results FAST! MaxxVolume saved the day.”

Yoad Nevo Producer, Mixer, Mastering Engineer

Sia, Pet Shop Boys, Bryan Adams, Air

“When I needed to mix 7 singers on Sugababes VS Girls Aloud’s “Walk this Way” (UK #1, 2007), and I wanted to do justice to their individual voices, I turned to MaxxVolume.”

Scott Pearlman FOH Engineer, Production & Tour Manager

Stone Temple Pilots, Steve Vai, Filter, Black Label Society

“MaxxVolume is one of my go-to plugins: I use it when I want the singer to sit in the mix exactly between the points that I set up.”
