Ever notice that some shows sound really bright, I mean, the “ouch kind-of-crazy painful” type of bright - and what is the engineer thinking?” You’re a month into a tour, getting off a plane en route to another show. Hmm… Wonder if your ears are the same trustworthy, spring-fresh little helpers they were three weeks ago? Or maybe - just maybe - the rigors of travel combined with that head cold, eight beers and four hours of sleep last night…

Let’s face it , without sonic energy we do not have a rock show. The question is how much is enough and how much is too much. As with anything, there are people who can’t resist using massive amounts of power if given the chance. Equally in the “cops and robbers” game of life, others can’t resist (or are leveraged into) the policing side of the equation. Hence we end up with a line drawn in the sand, a rule,…

Chances are you make at least part of your living with your ears. Stop and think about it. 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. This should make us stop and consider…
