Hey! Well, that was our first live Q&A with Sound Guy 101. What a turnout!!! We had 1 amazing member join us today...... okay it was just me. But in this video I cover some common live sound questions, I give you a bit of backstory on my live sound journey, and we get into some detail about feedback, and digital vs analog mixers. Feel free to leave your questions here for next time, I'd love to help anyone with any problems you've been having. We're going to do a live Q&A every 2 weeks on Tuesday at 12PM. Make sure to mark it in your calendar, I want to meet all you amazing engineers, and aspiring sound guys!

I started off reading audiophile magazines in high-school and that turned into a 25 year long career of installing custom home audio video system with home automation. It's been fun but in another life I think it would have been more fun to be a live sound guy or some sort of recording/production engineer. I love working on my hobby channel "Full On Sessions". Maybe I'll start of with a question/comment. What concerns me about live sound is the loud volume you often have to deal with. A lot of people take pride in high volume but there are times when I'm at a live concert and the sound is too excruciating and it ruins the show for me. Are live sound guys concerned about hearing loss and how is that going to affect your perception of sound in the long run? I would think the quality of your hearing is a real asset. I wonder why some concerts sound so bad - is it because the sound guy is half deaf?? lol

Hey Sound Guys and Gals, I’m curious to know if you have any experience using a mixer. And if so, do you use an Analog or Digital mixer? Let me know what you guys are working with!

Hey sound enthusiasts, I’m thinking of doing a weekly livestream to have open discussion and Q&A about whatever topics you want to gain more insight on. What’s something I can help you clear up in the first livestream?
