FOH engineer Matt Herr was using a PM5000 before switching over late last year to the Yamaha Rivage PM10. He was totally analog and thought that it would be a great time to change, which he did with his whole FOH rig for the Farewell tour — EFX, console, everything.

Matt Herr says the PM10 is simply fantastic. “It’s super intuitive, and I really like the layout. It’s very easy to navigate on. The Silk feature is really great as well. I use it on just about everything. There’s just such great separation in the mix and that’s something that my 5K didn’t have.” He is currently up to 81 inputs including his EFX returns and audio and video playback. For outputs, he’s sending six stereo feeds to the P.A. to be distributed throughout the amp racks at three per side. As far as plug-ins go, Herr doesn’t use very many. “I use the Portico 5043 on all of the vocals and on Davey’s acoustic guitar. It’s a really great sounding compressor that you can use on just about anything. The other plug-in compressor I use is the Yamaha Opt-2A on Matt Bissonette’s bass. I love it — it makes the bass sound punchy and fat without getting in the way of the kick or the bottom-end of the piano.” EFX wise, Herr uses the Eventide H3000 Harmonizer on the background vocals to help thicken them up a bit. The rest of the EFX he uses are outboard items. “I was using the Eventide Eclipse for years and years, but this one has the sound that I use and it works great.”
