The gear is what gets you there.
Touring Setup

The Rig.
Every piece of gear
Rachel K Collier takes on tour.

The full live setup. Synths, controllers, vocals, monitoring. Nothing borrowed. Nothing extra.

Five pieces of gear that leave the house every time.

Ableton Push 3

Ableton
Push 3

I tour with the Push 2 but they aren't that easy to get now that the Push 3 is available. Every cue, every loop, every transition runs through it.

A hands-on synth that sounds huge live. Warm pads, fat bass, one knob per function. No menus.

Vocal effects processor. Harmonies, reverb, and the chopped vocal trick, all in one pedal on the floor.

Sixteen encoders for macro control. Maps to anything in Ableton. Built like a tank and fits in a bag.

The vocal mic. Clean top end, rejects stage noise, handles loud rooms without feeding back.

Everything else that travels.

The rest of the kit. Smaller pieces, specific jobs, all earning their place in the flight case.
