Old Soundman 03/29/13 12:19 PM,Here we have two individuals, neither of whom are full-time soundmen, but despite that fact, are courageous operators of audio gear in their respective environments. I take my hat off to them! Hi, my name is Ron - Hello, Ron. I’m not going to tell you what my name is! I work in a nightclub as a bartender-maintenance-sound guy. Wow, you are a triple-threat individual! Once I told an arrogant sound guy who thought we were so special and superior… View this story

Dan Laveglia 03/16/12 03:28 PM,“Audio System Engineer” - has a nice ring to it, eh? Very official sounding. Not so very long ago there was a controversy about this title.

If you’re doing a session in Los Angeles and you want your drums to instantly sound great, then your first call is to the Drum Doctors to either rent a fantastic sounding kit, or have your kit tuned.
