There was a certain sound during those formative years, when music seemed to change the world, that is still sought after today, even though technology was nowhere near as advanced.
They’re a great tool, allowing us to be efficient and fast in addition to providing the opportunity to reflect on our workflow and come up with ways of making it even better.
An in-depth primer, including a time-honed perspective, on the many factors in play when tuning a system to a specific room.
Lessons learned, an interesting career path, and friendships and partnerships forged over time upon his retirement after almost five decades in the industry.
Pushing up some faders, getting a reasonable balance and adding some effects might work for a rough mix, but there’s more to building a great mix…
“I depressed the locking tab on the first vocal mic cable and, just as I eased it out of the mic… KA-BOOM!! The sound reverberated through the whole stadium while I stood there with a stunned look on my face…”
Usually it’s the front to back variance that gets the lion’s share of attention when it comes to uniformity, but here’s an approach to attain wider smooth coverage dispersion at a music festival.
Applying the customer relationship model to several real-world scenarios to bring clarity to the process of managing expectations of customers, vendors, staff members and more.
Whether it’s running a couple of small stages at a festival, handling multiple ballrooms, or even managing multiple stages in a club, there are ways to streamline the process to make it as painless as possible for everyone.
Although it’s unlikely that we’ll ever need to fend off spies or race a Mini Cooper through a farmer’s market, we still need to keep our eyes and ears open to what’s happening around us.
As engineers, we need to go one step further and not only get the sound level up, we need to keep it consistent from seat to seat, or technically from ear to ear, of the audience members. Here’s a way to go about it.
At its most fundamental level, effective acoustic design must start with these basic feasibility questions: Where can we put it? What does it look like? How much does it cost?
