UK - Green Day's ongoing world tour in support of its latest album, 21st Century Breakdown, has its monitors mixed on Studer Vista 5 SR digital mixing console. It was the first choice for monitor mixer Beau Alexander, who has worked with the multi-platinum Green Day since 2004's American Idiot world tour.

Alexander, who has also mixed for artists including Tool, Hootie and The Blowfish and My Chemical Romance, says the Vista 5 is an excellent fit with the Green Day tour. "What makes it a great fit for Green Day is the number of outputs it has," he says.

"When we started the 21st Century Breakdown record cycle, I didn't know if we were going to be using in-ears or wedges for monitoring, so I had to set the desk up for both, and when I did that I was using somewhere around 40 outputs, which the Vista 5 can easily handle."
