Tim Holder ♦ Audio Engineer
Welcome !
Some info about me … Over the span of my career I’ve had the pleasure of mixing some of the industry’s greats. From classic rock icons John Fogerty and Steven Tyler to mega country stars Carrie Underwood and Kenny Chesney – plus pop giants such as Enrique Iglesias and Backstreet Boys.
One thing these diverse artists have in common is the connection to their audience. It’s critical to having a great show. Part of my job is to translate to the audience what the artist is giving. Sound reinforcement sure – but in an artful way.
Knowledge of how to manipulate a large crowd and a big sound system comes from years of experience and intuition. I can’t stress how much having a musical background is vital to being a good mixer. You have to know where the pocket is. You have to understand the vocal blend. I use techniques I’ve developed in my studio and on the live stage that produce a rich, dynamic mix with depth and dimension using a unique hybrid blend of gear, mic choices and micing techniques.
This collection of experience and knowledge has helped me become a better FOH engineer. There’s always that point in a live show where I know I’ve connected with the audience … truly an awesome feeling. Please consider having me on your next tour.
