[QUOTE="Isaak Cooke, post: 6518, member: 3665"] Well, first, since I'm new here, let me introduce myself. I am a junior in high school, and I work in the auditorium at my school with a GL4800-48 sound board and a high-tech system of wireless and wired microphones. In other words, I'm a sound technician's intern and work plays. I also do little side music things.
