Dudley Rogers, the primary sound engineer at Southlands, was involved throughout the project. "My job was to represent the church's needs to Paul Dexter - what kind of sou

The tour is one of striking contrasts. On the one hand the stage is completely bare, there are no gimmicks or props - not even a microphone stand. The entire show comprises 90 minutes of one man wearing a headset mic. The channel count is minimal and the front-of-house and monitor consoles are the babies of Yamaha's digital range.

On the other hand, the size of venues dictates huge hangs of Martin Audio line array, while ticket demand means multiple dates at many of the UK's biggest arenas - six at Cardiff International Arena, six at Wembley Arena, six at the Brighton Centre, seven at t

FOH engineer Mark Hawley and monitor man Marcel Van Limbeek have recorded and toured with Amos for 15 years, and strive to reproduce the sound created in the studio in a live situation. To this end, the very same outboard units used in the original studio recordings have not only been reproduced, but duplicated at FOH and on monitors.

"It's a comfort blanket; it's what I'm used to," says Hawley. "Marcel and I make all of Tori's albums using an analogue desk, and this is the setup we've used over the years; we like the way it colours the sounds. As far as mixing goes it's identical to the mix that comes out of the studio console."
