Crazy to see someone doing the same shit I also do professionally for some reason. Everything detail down to the mess of cables, to the satisfaction of perfectly lining up the cases in the truck after a long 12 hour day haha. Felt like I was at work, and I can gladly say that its not a bad thing at all. I love the studio, but there's a certain magic in live sound that you cant get in the studio. Very blessed that I lucked out getting with the crew I run with down in Dallas!

Add a sunny day in 90+ degrees Fahrenheit and shitting in a well used portapotty to get the full ambiance. Touring bands should do this work for a week before they decide to show up late, drunk, high, or hungover to appreciate all the hard work that goes into letting them perform for an hour.

It’s quite a nerve wracking career - from my experience you do start to get used to it, realize that sometimes bad things happen and it’s not the end of your career as long as you’re professional about fixing the problem (if it’s even in your power to do so) - I’ve been engineering since I was 8 but only recently full time, and while my touring shows still give me jitters, some of the smaller gigs are completely painless.

I went to a concert last year where I was in the front row and as soon as the band got off stage and the house lights came up, the techs came out and started shooing us off the barrier so they could dismantle it. Large touring shows are logistical nightmares and masterpieces at the same time. Thank you for the work you do to bring entertainment to so many people!

That's what I liked about doing live location recording. It's only going to go by the mikes ONCE! And if you don't catch it then, it's gone forever! But we were using reel to reel tape and cutting to records. Usually with digital, it either works great or not at all. With analog tape, you had to worry about tape bias, flutter, speed variations. And oh by the way, be sure you didn't run out of tape before the end of the concert! But nothing sounds better than a well made live recording made on a good pro (Ampex or Studer) properly adjusted reel-to-reel tape. Well, maybe a recording cut directly to disc on a Scully lathe. But there aren't many of those around to hear today.

Same here I had a fairly successful small company in Sydney during the golden years from the mid 70s until the early 80s when every pub and club had live music and most required some level of production for the band to work there. Then in 1982 I mixed FOH for the Aussie act supporting Cher on her tour. it was like I had been dropped into a different universe. JANDS provided everything and Cher brought her on tech people and it was like a military operation. I can't remember the name of Cher's FOH guy but he was a great person and let me sit next to him whenever I wanted. He had a six piece rock band, four backing vocalists and a small orchestra and horn section who were all Australian and all live plus Cher lip synching some songs due to the heavyweight dancing. Everything was analog and I learned more from him in eight weeks than I had taught myself in four years.

SO MUCH FUN, but nerve wracking, I got to do alot of this at my intermediate school at age 12-13 with about 600 people (lol) we did alot of what he is doing. looking back it was so much fun, the memories of running down and off the stage with the ipad that was connected wirelessely to the mixer in the upstairs sound booth, trying to mic up all of the instruments and get the foldback speakers going, while all experiencing lots of problems, WHILE the school bands would be blasting Paranoid Black Sabath! SO STRESSFUL! + trying to get the office and foyer tvs all connected up to the main mix output, AS WELL as the camera's video feed (which was passed through a video mixer, yeah we were not only doing sound mixing, BUT VIDEO TOO! AND WE HAD TO SWITCH TO THE COMPUTER, AND PLAY SLIDES! AND VIDEOS! so much fun.) but also it was hard sometimes even getting the videos to play! because for everything we were given 30 mins - 1 hour to set up, that included getting the teachers to share docs, and slides with you that needed to be played, BUT the school had blocked: KZbin, and basically anything useful, so before playing videos we had to download them as mp4s! - but, I would %1000000 do "Sound Tech" at Chisnallwood Intermediate again any day! this is my story.

There’s a 1 year program here in Kansas City in an actual recording studio that includes live sound class that I’m currently attending, best decision ever. I would see if your city has any studios that might offer that or even your local community college might offer some classes

Idk about other techs, but if I'm working A1, I'm not loading in and I'm not loading out, that's why we have A2's and stage hands🤣. I used to get caught up unloading and running backline and wanting to make sure everything was wired properly because I didn't trust anyone else to do it right, that I wouldn't have time to do MY job properly. So now, I get to the venue and get straight to just MY job.

So I'm guessing the studio monitor on top of the console shown @ 5:35 is the KRK Rockit 6 G3, and in accordance with the contest rules if my entry is drawn I get a choice between the $5,000 cash first prize OR my own body weight worth of clothes dryer lint from a laundromat of my choosing....correct?
