3 Things Your Live Sound Engineer Wishes You Knew

Written by

The relationship between a band and their live sound engineer is a beautiful partnership. When both sides are on the same page, magic happens. To help ensure your next gig goes off without a hitch, here are three quick tips from behind the mixing board:

  • Turn Down the Stage Volume: It sounds counterintuitive, but if your guitar amps are screaming on stage, it makes it incredibly difficult to get a clean, clear mix in the front-of-house PA. Let the sound system do the heavy lifting!
  • Label Your Lines: If you bring your own sub-snakes or specific wireless rigs, clear labeling saves precious time during a rushed soundcheck.
  • Trust the Soundcheck: A soundcheck isn’t just a rehearsal; it’s when we dial in the room’s frequencies and eliminate feedback nodes.

Great sound is a team effort. When you work with a dedicated production crew, you can focus entirely on your performance while we handle the heavy decibels.
