Many of you, my visitors, are coming by way of search engine. You are interested in the art of mixing live sound, and probably many of you have specific questions about some phase of the business. I have now put up a guest book. Sign the guest book and ask a question there. As time permits I will either answer you directly or, if I feel that your question has general interest, I will write an article and send you a link. I will also use the usage data to decide if and when to put up a forum on the site. If you would like to see a forum on the site, let me know through the guestbook.
Thank you!! Wink
I have been a full time live sound engineer, aka: the soundman, for over twenty years. I own a small sound and lighting production company. (You could check out my web site HERE.) My primary business for the last 11 years has been providing production for motorcycle rallies across the country. Between rallies I do some conventions, concerts, other events, and even an occasional club date with a band. The purpose of this site is to pass on some of the knowledge that I have gained in the field. I will post articles on various subjects regarding live sound production. I would also like to invite others to submit articles about the wonders of live sound. There should also be a true stories section from my experiences, and I invite others to submit stories. If there is interest I will put up a forum on the site so that there can be a community dialog on subjects of interest. I will probably put up a photo gallery of gigs and concert events and invite others to submit pictures that they have taken to be posted. If you would like to contribute stories, articles, or photos you can contact me HERE. If you know anyone who would be interested in what this site has to offer or who would be interested in contributing articles you can send them a link by clicking HERE. Another site that you could promote to your friends in the industry is Here's Our Site dot com. At that site I offer free websites for bands, clubs, and churches. I would also like to hear of topics that you would be interested in reading about, so please submit your questions or suggestions HERE.
You can hear some of my live recordings on my business web site. These recordings are direct form my mixing board to a CD burner. There is minimal post production work done on these recordings, primarily just cutting out the between songs interaction with the crowd. I was very limited on space until I recently moved the site to my paid hosting space, so I intend to put up some more music in the near future. I may even add a player to this space at some point.
