Re: Sound Provider Refusing Band Engineer?A venue where I'm the house guy banned any BEs from touching the console after too many issues with bad BEs. Actually came down from the corporate level, and the reasoning was that it's detrimental to the "rep" of the venue. The final straw was a guy that came in and EQ'd everything (strips and house graphic!) before even listening and the venue's booking agent came in during the show and freaked because it sounded awful. He went to corporate and got the policy put in place. There are exceptions for established national acts when advanced, but otherwise, no.
