Peter Gregson Tour Recap: On the road with MainStage and GiO PDF Print E-mail
With stops in Washington, Princeton, Boston, New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles, contemporary cellist Peter Gregson’s tour of America was inevitably going to be a tightly packed one. With it being his first time performing without a live engineer/sound guy, having an easy-to-use and reliable, portable rig was crucial for a successful tour. 

“I'm not going to lie, things went wrong. Speakers distorted, cables weren't right, chairs were too high/low,” Peter divulges. “But these were all venue problems. The constant saving grace was that my I/O was seamless - running MainStage through my MacBook Air with GiO at the helm, I never once had to even think about it. It was set up and was ready to plug and play, and made the 5 min soundcheck a very real possibility! It turned some heads, too. I set the programmable lights to some pretty loud combinations!”

Throughout the duration of the trip, Peter was on deadline for a few other projects and thus transformed his hotel room into a makeshift recording studio. “I was alternating between ONE and GiO to get my cello sound into Logic. In the end, I spent longer coaxing the hotel wifi to send the file than I did actually producing it!” he says. “The power and simplicity of working with GiO make it an absolutely essential part of my setup, both live and in the studio, and I'm looking forward to refining my performances with it for the next round of concerts!”
