[QUOTE="andrew gissing, post: 85148, member: 75"] Re: Getting my employer to take me seriously... Per's got good advice but beware the limitations of working with large PA's - I find that with most festivals if you're there with the PA system, the first few acts may not have their own sound guy but most do. So you end up babysitting the rig and not doing much mixing. However there are other events where you would be.. once you've earned your way up. Onto the venue, this is really hard to provide actual advice on the internet. What type of venue is it ? Is it primarily music like a concert hall/theatre or is it a venue where music is a part of the overall package like a pub/club or hotel with bars, ballrooms etc. Does your boss have any tech role or is she like a bar manager responsible for staffing, product, sales and all sorts of other interests ? And who normally pays you - the bands or the venue ? When you subbed for the house tech did the venue pay you direct ? Last comment for now - if you can make a system sing in a small environment working with crappy gear etc etc.. that's harder to do then make great gear in great environments sound good. andrew [/QUOTE]
