OT: What Gear is Being Used In This Video?

I like this NPR tiny Desk concert with Daniel Lanois. Super tasty drumming and all around groovy stuff.

What is the gear that Lanois is using? He’s “thoughtfully” covered identifying marks with black tape. Is he controlling loops in Ableton? Also curious why an assistant occasionally reaches in to push a button.

yeah, great live act! I don’t know what he’s using but I like it :slight_smile:

i dont know what the gear is but thanks for posting the video, it sounds great!!


It looks like a lot of what he is doing is live mixing a backing track played from the laptop via the mixer then using the mystery rack to pitch shift and perhaps delay the output. looks like a reverb rack just above. I dont think there is a MIDI controller involved. The drummer is almost undoubtably playing from a click track.

damn, i wish i could jam with that drummer, he is just too groovy!

looks like pro tools on the laptop


that’s a Lexicon Prime Time

Ladies and germs, the drummer from Dead Milkmen.

@mrclean is that overhead mic really the cost of an arm and a leg?

Sweetwater lists it at $3780.00
