Waves Audio has appointed audio engineer Val Gilbert as Waves Live Product Specialist, to ‘communicate with other live sound engineers across the UK, sharing his vast knowledge of Waves plug-ins, the SoundGrid system and typical workflows in the live sound arena’.
Gilbert will draw upon his real-world experience, signing Waves’ expansion in the live sound sector.
Having been based in France, where he gained an extensive background in live sound engineering as a front-of-house engineer for major touring acts, he relocated to the UK two years ago. He is an experienced Waves user, both live and in-studio: ‘I’m currently working with French/Belgian Afro-folk band Namogodine, as we prepare the release of their next album for this coming spring and the supporting tour,’ he says. ‘I’m in the process of mixing the album, so it will be great to take the Waves processing I’ll be using in the studio with me on the road, and not have to compromise on dynamics and effects.
‘As a Waves Live Product Specialist, I know the ins and outs of the Waves SoundGrid system across all the different platforms for which it is available. I will be conducting demonstrations and training at different locations across the UK, as well as providing frontline technical support for Waves SoundGrid users.’
