This video is a bit of a fly on the wall look at a recent sound check.
before we start, just a little background for context. I'm working here in tandem
with the monitor engineer with a bit of a system between us.
we're using an analog split. no gain sharing.
we set our gain and then set the channel strip. everything flowing in the order
things are patched. when he hears me mute the house, he knows I'm good for the
house on that source. and as soon as the monitors are finished he has the band
move on to the next Channel. and yes, I do have a TalkBack mic connected, but as
long as things are going as planned, I don't even need to use it. so let's roll
the sound check!
