Our friends Source Distribution and Universal Audio have posted a case study about long-time front of house engineer Snake Newton, who has a CV that is the envy of the industry, having toured with the likes of Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, Robbie Williams and Craig David. This summer, he’s hitting the road with two award-winning British acts - Jessie J and Paolo Nutini – and he’s incorporated a Universal Audio Apollo 16 Audio Interface into his live setup, to help accommodate his fondness (some would say obsession) with using plug-ins.

Find out more about how he started out in the industry, how he balances live and studio work, and how he became an early adopter of the UA Apollo 16  and how he uses it live in his front of house mixes and in the studio.
