[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 99388, member: 211"] Re: Sound Provider Refusing Band Engineer? Doesn't sound like a fun situation to be in. Best to get this ironed out BEFORE showtime. It sounds like your previous boss is sour because you worked for him and then decided to go it your own and start a company that is competing with him. Some people find it very difficult to work WITH competition, even though it could be very beneficial for both of you if that were to happen. Have you discussed this issue with the band yet? If they want YOU to be there to mix, you've got a lot more to stand on. They may not want to ruffle any feathers and just accept the fact that the production company doesn't want you there. Since you have a good working relationship with the band, it would be best to agree with their strategy versus going around them to the promoter and raising a fuss, as you will come off as representing the band if you do that. If the band backs you up, but then the promoter doesn't, you could potentially cost the band the gig. Keep that in mind if you decide to make this a fight. If the promoter and band both back you, then they will either hire a different production company, or they will tell that company that you're allowed to do your work. If they keep the production company though, don't expect cooperation. It's going to be rough going for you if that happens. [/QUOTE]
