Re: Why is mixing considered...
If only that was what actually happened. I often spend far more time than I should have to aligning zones, tuning, and searching through menus on processors to find the odd filter or crossover that was left in by the "last guy to take the rig out".
I DO think that us BE's respect the art and science of tuning a system and being a system tech. It is just part of our job description to double check what has happened before we arrived.
In February and March I am doing 21 shows in the UK. My call will be to my system tech over there, who will look at the venues, decide which system works best, and then contact and rent the gear from a sound company. Sometimes it's DV-DOSC, sometimes Q1. I don't care, as long as he's setting it up and tweaking it.
Also, I do system tech. My main artist has been off for the summer, so I've been flying DV-DOSC from Genie's all summer long.
White glove season starts September 8 at the Mercy Lounge in Nashville.
