Wil Madera Praises Waves eMotion LV1 Classic Console for Pitbull's Tours

Wil Madera, Pitbull's long-serving front-of-house engineer, has praised the Waves eMotion LV1 Classic console for its intuitive interface and access to Waves plug-ins, ensuring a familiar workflow. Madera has used the console throughout Pitbull's recent European tour and plans to continue doing so for upcoming tours and projects.

Madera's favorite plug-ins include PuigTec EQP-1A, BB Tubes, and SSL G-Master Buss Compressor, but he particularly lauds the SSL E-Channel for adding an analog feel to drums, bass, guitars, and vocals. For Pitbull's vocals, Madera relies on the Waves CLA-2A Compressor/Limiter to achieve smooth and natural compression.

The compact form factor of the LV1 Classic, along with its onboard plug-ins, has convinced Madera to continue using it. He commends the console's faders, screen, and tilt, expressing his trust in the system and recommending it to others.

Madera's endorsement of the Waves eMotion LV1 Classic console highlights its suitability for touring, with its intuitive interface, compact size, and access to popular plug-ins. Madera's plans to use the console for future tours and projects reflect his confidence in its performance and reliability.
