New York, NY (November 14, 2023)—Guns N’ Roses has been on the prowl the previous few years, and following stretches in Europe and the Middle East this 12 months, the group hit the stadiums of North America, wrapping up final week in Toluca, Mexico. Along for the journey was one other legend, engineer Dave Natale (Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, Fleetwood Mac), manning the FOH desk.

Gn’R is well-known for its sonic bombast, and on the root of that may be a drum sound has to anchor the songs, so Natale introduced in some Austrian Audio mics to seize them, a lot as he did on two of the latest Rolling Stones excursions.

For Guns N’ Roses, Natale has employed Austrian Audio OC18 precision microphones for overheads and CC8 true condenser microphones on the hi-hat, journey cymbal and cowbell on drummer Frank Ferrer’s equipment.

The outcomes caught the eye of Guns N’ Roses guitarist Richard Fortus, who now has some Austrian Audio mics on his dwell rig, too: “Dave put the Austrian Audio mics on my amps when he began with us. I’ve been so impressed with the sound of the OC18 on my Magnatone amps dwell that I needed to attempt them in my studio as properly. I’m blown away by the element and heat. An absolute traditional.”
