Brian Belcher 04/21/11 01:20 PM, 0 CommentsStage volume, stage volume, stage volume. I think if I have said it once, I have said it a million times.

I want to be able to do the best possible mix, but sometimes, as audio engineers we can stifle the creativeness and enthusiasm on stage by the constraints that… View this story

Could you perform your job as well…would your income level be the same…would your professional reputation be intact if you suffer severe hearing loss? Both musicians and the live sound technicians who work with them need to be able to hear things. Not just hear them well, but hear them better than the average person.

Dave Rat 11/11/10 06:57 PM, 1 CommentHow fast do sound signals travel through the various parts of the sound system? Do sound signals travel faster in analog snake cables or fiber optic cables?
