[QUOTE="Chris Johnson, post: 100312, member: 975"] Re: Who's In Demand While I agree with all of the people above in that techs are key, I think Monitor Engineers are the most in demand at the moment, for the following reasons: 1) Unlike patch/RF/techs, its all about the relationship with the band 2) Monitors is becoming harder, IEMs have forced monitor engineers to increase the quality of their mixes, and lowering costs of these products, as well as the increasing capability of consoles has increased the quantity of mixes. 3) FOH is all political, whereas monitors is just more about how happy the band are, and that can be a tricky challenge. I started out doing FOH, and I still do a lot of it, but increasingly I get calls to do Monitors, as it seems the demands there are getting higher and higher. In short, I spend a lot of time now doing anywhere from 8 to 20 stereo IEM mixes, plus wedges etc... All the IEM mixes need to be as polished as a FOH mix, sometimes moreso... [/QUOTE]
