Craziest room I’ve ever worked in
Dudes, I’m in Toronto right now on a gig, and you won’t believe the sound of the main ballroom. I wanted to get a video to show you guys, but we ran late with setup and had to leave right after. Tomorrow before the event, I’ll take a video and show you how insane this room is. (Cool, but not cool for sound guys!!!!) I’ll love to hear your opinions on what you’d do with a room that’s as live as this one. I’ve never worked in such a sonic mess before. It’s like a big dome, everything slaps back and there’s phase cancelation everywhere (with no speakers!). This is wild. I’ll share more tomorrow morning!

@Tristan Leynes that would be awesome… But it’s a corporate panel event with only speech 😭

This is a quick sneak peek of the room. Look at these super high, dome ceilings. I can’t walk around and make noise right now, but when the event is done I’ll show you guys what this monstrosity sounds like. Stay tuned

Live mix at side of the stage
I sometimes see sound guys doing a live mix at the side of the stage. How can this possibly sound good? I would think that what the audience hears is a combination of live sound from instruments and guitar amps and PA speakers. How can someone possibly mix for good sound at the side when their perception of sound could be drastically different? I once attended a small concert where the sound guy was very close to the front of the stage and he had headphones on the whole time. It was loud and shrill and the worst thing I ever heard, especially knowing how good the place can sound. Isn't it obviously wrong to mix a show from anywhere other than the audience?

Yeah, this is definitely a thing. If there’s amps and drums on the stage, putting on headphones or mixing behind the speakers is NOT effective. Headphones are useful for honing in on fine details, but you gotta hear what the crowd is hearing. Even if the mixer isn’t in the crowd. Sometimes that means using an iPad to control the mixer, or sometimes just walking out in front of the speakers and listening. If you’re a monitor engineer, that’s totally different. You’re at the side of the stage so you can communicate with the band to fix their wedges or IEMs. But you better also have someone in FOH who’s making sure the sound is getting off the stage properly!!

@Youssef El-Kirate yeah! A monitoring engineer is just like a regular sound guy, except he only operates the sound for the musicians monitors on stage.

Music Lover is here!!!
Yeah, everyone, I'm just checking around the community, but I couldn't see what I can listen to. If you're a musician, just drop your music link in this comment. I'd love to listen to what you guys have released so far and give you feedback if any.

Sweet! Welcome. I know there’s a few folks who made posts in the discussions and introductions in the past. I’m sure they’d appreciate if you looked back to see what they shared!
