Re: Sometimes, I never want to hear the word 'audio' again after days like this.
Mine was a CD Launch for 2 artists using the same backing band, which had 3 critically acclaimed cd's to their name as well.
However it's a christian gig; not much money and i'm doing a favour; it's also early in my career so I didnn't know better then. Mix position was on balcony of the theatre.
We get to a part for acoustic guitar and vocal song towards the end of the show. DI for acoustic fails. I don't know why (turned out later to have been unplugged - who did that ?). I can't communicate with artist; I can't get to stage 'cause of the balcony. I don't have a crew (I didn't know better then..).
I wanted a hole to open up and swallow me.
Artist however turned it into a golden moment. sang without a mic and played acoustic with no mic/di. Audience quiet as a mouse. Great moment.
I still wish it didn't happen though !
