Dave Matthews Band’s touring setup is featured in the new issue of Mix magazine. The story features a lot of technical language but includes these highlights:

• Recording engineer/guest guitarist Joe Lawlor records every show, then sends the recordings to Charlottesville, Va., where they’re transferred onto CDs and placed in climate-controlled storage.
• The band members all have their own preferences about the sound mix they receive in their in-ear monitors (IEMs). “Dave leans toward a full band mix, with his vocal and guitar peeking out over the top,” according to monitor engineer Ian Kuhn.
• The sound crew uses a database to keep track of their cues for every song DMB has ever played and to record all of the band’s setlists.
