The album was mixed at Al Bano’s own studio in Cellino San Marco, Italy, by Alessandro Vanara. In addition to the stage microphones and DIs, Spadaccino used four ambient microphones to capture the feel of the sold-out audience. In terms of both audio quality and simplicity it has revolutionised live recording.’ ‘It is incredibly easy to set up – we are always just a few clicks away from a very reliable 64 track recording. ‘Nuendo Live is an invaluable tool for virtual soundchecks and produces the best possible sound quality, so using it for the live album multitracks was a no-brainer,’ he says. Unlike most live albums, which are usually recorded on multiple shows during a tour, Spadaccino only had one chance to get it right. The production had a day for set-up, another for rehearsal and the third was show day.
The Arena di Verona has a massive stage and being able to operate the console with the StageMix app really helped to make it a success. ‘I had a heavy workload and the CL5 made a potentially very stressful show manageable. ‘This show was huge – we had a 48-piece orchestra, seven-piece band and 16 special guests singing with Al and Romina in a two-hour show, which had the added pressure of being broadcast live,’ he says.
Spadaccino has worked with Al Bano for many years, used a variety of digital mixing consoles along the way. The multitrack recording was made through Francesco Spadaccino’s CL5 console with Rio3224-D I/O units. Released on Universal Music, the album was recorded at the duo’s Arena di Verona concert and simultaneously broadcast live on Rai 1, Italy’s premier national television channel. As well as being the first album in 20 years, The Very Best – Live aus Verona Italian pop act Al Bano and Romina Power, The Very Best – Live aus Verona is the first major label album release to be recorded on Steinberg Nuendo Live with a Yamaha CL5 console.
