Case Study: Winter Jam achieves seamless live mixing and recording with Avid Technology

Winter Jam Chooses Avid to Mix and Record Multiple Artists

Winter Jam, the annual Christian music tour featuring 10 acts and extremely tight changeovers, needed reliable technology to keep front-of-house mixing, monitor mixing, and live recording running smoothly. The tour’s fast pace, crowded arena setup, and demand for consistent audio made a dependable system essential, so Winter Jam and its audio team chose Avid Technology, including the Avid Profile System and VENUE software, to handle the workload.

Avid Technology’s Profile consoles and VENUE platform gave the team a fast, easy-to-use workflow with seamless Pro Tools integration, helping engineers load scenes, recall snapshots, and move show files between rehearsal and the tour with no issues. The result was quicker setup and sound checks, efficient recording of all 48 channels plus audience mics, and smooth broadcast support, saving hours of setup time and enabling high-quality live mixes and recordings throughout the tour.
