[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 99890, member: 67"] Re: Sound Provider Refusing Band Engineer? More guys got their gig because they had a bag packed and could be at the airport or meet the bus in 2 hours. The ones that kept their gigs were perceived as better than the typical in-house guy and were tolerable to live with on the bus. The latter is frequently more important than the former. As the system guy I've mixed more in the last 4 years than I had in the 7 years before. Back then your observation about *today* was my own - even the support act playing 20 minutes had a BE. These days it's not unusual to mix one of the touring support acts as well as local support. I like it, it keeps me on my toes/ears. Your observations about your role as "keeper of the sound", responsible to management and the public for a consistent sonic impression, are spot on. [/QUOTE]
