[QUOTE="Greg Cameron, post: 98517, member: 42"] Re: Ways to annoy a sound guy I wouldn't say a sound guy is responsible for most of those things even if hired by the band unless their duties also include drum tech/guitar tech/vocal trainer/instrument teacher/etc. As a sound person, sure, it's our job to make the best of what we have and provide assistance when possible. I will gladly provide guitar cords for an act if theirs are causing problems and suggest that the vocalists stay on top of the mic for maximum monitor levels/GBF/etc. I'm also more than happy to point out when patch levels are out of wack or guitar clean/dirty levels are off. But I often find suggestions are often ignored or forgotten (like staying the mic) by all but the real pros who understand their craft. Don't get me wrong, I realize this is par for the course unless you're at the "A" level (and even then...). But to say that we're responsible for the toilet paper (beyond our own) is just insane.
