The change occurred shortly after a tour of China, when monitor engineer Scott Griffith suggested trying the console. "With the logistics of touring these days, we had to consider going digital," recalls Jonas. "When we brought it into rehearsal, Scott and I both just fell in love with it. And Harry noticed right away. He's a pretty smart guy and knows what's going on in terms of production. He was definitely interested and said he loved the sound of it. That's all we needed to hear."
Griffith, who joined the team in 2007, was similarly impressed. "What Midas did with the PRO6 was take digital to the next level in terms of functionality, without sacrificing that big, warm sound of their analogue desks," he states. "I love the layout, too. It's easy to learn, very intuitive to operate, extremely flexible, and has all the tools you need right on board. The first time I heard it live, I knew it was the real deal."
Harry Connick Jr. will be touring extensively around the world in 2010. He is currently on tour of Australia and New Zealand, to be followed by a spring tour of Europe and the Middle East. After that, Connick returns home for an extensive tour of North America with dates extending into October.
