Re: Every live sound engineer should spend a little time in a recording studio.
The main major differences with live sound in my opinion are:
1)We have to deal with stage slosh.
2)We have to deal with feedback.
3)We have a very limited set up time.
4)We only get one shot.
5)We are in many different acoustic environments.
6)The acoustic environments are dynamic. (changes in crowd size, temperature, humidity, etc.)
I am sure there are a few more things I am forgetting but these are the ones that come to mind.
