Show day and Soundcheck: A Day in the Life of a Freelance Audio Tech
Set up, sound check, and show. Integrating with a provided audio system as a freelance audio tech working for a touring rock band. How it all comes together with tips, tricks, and explanations along the way.
When working for a band as the audio mixer, you can find yourself mixing on many different rigs and stages. Pre-show preparation, soundcheck, mixing live, and getting it all ready to do it again on a different day.
For this show, I mixed on a Midas M32 (Midas M32R). No matter the musical genre, or venue... festival, club, ballroom, arena, church, etc... the overall concepts, the basics- gain structure and signal flow - are still the fundamental building blocks of a good mix. It's hard to get to the art of audio mixing if you bypass the science of it along the way.
