Harling typically has numerous instances of C6 running, as he explains: “I use quite a lot of side-chaining-for instance, kick drum ducking the lowest band of C6 on bass guitar and synth bass Ellie’s vocal ducking a tiny bit of mid-range out of a C6 on the band mix acoustic snare drums ducking the transient of triggered electronic snares in C1 and triggers on the acoustic snares being used to open gates. I use WNS on Ellie’s vocal to get a bit more gain before feedback and reduce spill into her mic, which is especially useful if she’s on a B stage or thrust.” “The band mix on this gig is very busy and constantly changing, and Ellie’s vocal is very quiet, so I use my utility plug-ins to try and clean stuff up and make space for the vocal. Harling, who has a background as a musician and has been a FOH engineer for the past 15 years, has been relying heavily on plug-ins on the Delirium tour, he reveals.

The video guys ran a show feed into the console, which helped massively when I couldn’t see Ellie at the other end of the arena.” “That was especially useful when we were touring with a B stage. The console’s video input has also been convenient, he says. “I find the dynamic EQ a very useful tool as I don’t incorporate Waves into my sessions,” continues Flaherty. Since then I’ve used the SD9 on other tours and have the SD7 on the current tour,” says Flaherty, who, as an 11-year veteran with UK rental company Adlib Audio, has also worked with The Script, Foals, and Catfish and the Bottlemen. “I found the footprint was perfect for festival situations, and the versatility of the board was everything I needed. He has mixed on DiGiCo desks since the beginning of 2014, initially using an SD10. Mike Flaherty, with Goulding as monitor technician since 2013, took over as engineer in mid-2015.

“I like to think of my plug-ins as 50 percent ‘utility’ and 50 percent ‘vibe.’” A second MGB interfaces to another laptop hosting Metric Halo’s SpectraFoo for RTA metering plus “weird and wonderful effects from Valhalla and Soundtoys,” he adds. “I’m using a fair bit of nice outboard for compression and reverbs, but I still lean pretty heavily on Waves plug-ins,” he says.

On the Delirium tour, Harling is also using two Waves SoundGrid servers with the SD5, running MultiRack externally on a Mac Mini via a DiGiGrid MGB interface.


They have a very neutral sound, which is a good ‘blank canvas’ to start building from,” says Harling, who has also worked with Lana Del Ray, Maccabees, Michael Kiwanuka, Meteronomy and numerous others.

“I find that their routing flexibility and features such as two insert points per channel allow me to achieve what I want.

The Delirium World Tour’s North American dates, with audio production handled by Eighth Day Sound, include a full complement of DiGiCo mixing consoles-an SD5 at front-of-house with an SD10 available for opening acts, and an SD7 at the monitor position.įOH engineer Joe Harling, who has been touring with Goulding for two and a half years, first started using DiGiCo desks three years ago. CLEVELAND, Ohio – June 2016 – UK-based singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding is currently in the middle of an extensive tour that kicked off in Europe in January with Adlib Audio and includes two North American legs extending into late June, with European and US festival dates plus shows in Australia and New Zealand keeping her on the road through mid-October.
