Case Study: Michael Bublé achieves studio-quality live sound and recordings with Avid Technology

Avid Brings Good Cheer to Michael Bublé’s Christmas Special

Michael Bublé needed a compact, reliable audio setup for his nationally broadcast Christmas special in Vancouver, replacing the larger truck-based workflow used the year before. He and his team turned to Avid Technology, using Avid live sound systems and Pro Tools to handle both live mixing and recording for the production.

Avid Technology delivered an end-to-end workflow built around Avid VENUE Profile systems, a VENUE | S3L for front of house, and Pro Tools | HD with sync support. The setup provided a small footprint, studio-quality sound, and 64-track backup recording, while keeping all systems locked to TV sync. The result was an efficient, low-risk production that performed exceptionally well and met the show’s tight TV logistics needs.
