LiVE SOUND MiXiNG ENGiNEER

Tired of having inconsistent sound quality at your live performances?

I have performed live as both a singer and guitarist and I know how disappointing it can be to play a show only to hear later that the PA wasn’t sounding very good during your set.

Obviously you worked very hard to sound the best you could that night, but usually you are at the mercy of a random ‘in house’ sound person. If you are lucky, you might get to work with the experienced engineer that has been mixing there for many years, in which case you are in good hands. But you may also get stuck with the engineer that spends most of your set cruising myspace on their laptop. Or maybe they are new to properly tuning a PA system, and don’t understand how to control the feedback in your monitors.

When I mix your live show I will go through the stage monitors and make sure they are sounding good and that you have a solid stage mix for each band member. I will then take the necessary measures to mix your live show so that it sounds clean, clear, and well balanced and also so that it represents your bands trademark sound. I usually walk around the room at least once during your set to make sure that your ‘front of house’ mix sounds good from every corner of the room.

LIVE RECORDING

It is also an option to multi-track record your live show with my mobile Pro Tools system either while mixing your live show or as a separate service. I have the capability to record up to 16 tracks at once, which is usually enough for most bands. Here is an example of my live recording work:

Never So Few - Mustang Sally - Live (256kbps mp3)

Note: After your show has been recorded, additional mixing will be necessary.

If you are interested in my services as a live sound mixer or if you are interested in having a multi track recording of your next live show, feel free to contact me.
