Creation Station Powers Jars of Clay's Live Recording Rig

Multiple-Grammy-winning group Jars of Clay is on tour to support their most recent album, Good Monsters. While on the road, the band is recording their live performances using a Sweetwater Creation Station connected to a PreSonus FireStudio and two DigiMax FS units. Amazingly, the entire recording rig packs into eight rackspaces!

The recording setup begins by connecting all microphones and instruments on stage to a splitter snake. The splitter snake has two sets of independent outputs, one connected to the front-of-house mixing board and the other to the inputs of the FireStudio and two DigiMax units.

"We've been using PreSonus products since 1996. We are really excited to be able to record our shows with such a powerful and compact system," says Jars guitarist, Matt Odmark. "I can't believe we can get 24 great-sounding mic preamps and a computer system in eight rack spaces! Thanks PreSonus and Sweetwater."
