Case Study: Trevor Horn achieves seamless studio-to-live sound production with Avid Technology

Trevor Horn Delivers Signature Sounds with Avid

Trevor Horn, the legendary producer behind hits for artists like Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Grace Jones, needed a way to bring the signature sound of his records into live performances. At his Sarm Studios and on tour with the supergroup Producers, he relied on Avid Technology solutions including Pro Tools, the Avid Artist Suite, and VENUE Profile systems to handle both studio and live sound demands.

Avid Technology helped Trevor Horn and his team streamline their workflow across recording, mixing, touring, and rehearsal by integrating Pro Tools with VENUE and PQ monitoring, plus Virtual Soundcheck and show-file loading for faster setup. The result was a more intuitive and flexible live production process, better monitor mixes, and the ability to perfect settings quickly; the team also noted the system could handle very high track counts and that no channel limits had been reached.
