time for an update

[demon_batista]

Ok, well it has been awhile since I have done an "actual update" and deem it a necessary time to update. Well so much happened over the past week and a half I just want to get it out. Not just for my sake, but for some of my friends (my friends being Kolt Green, that's about it, haha. Not too many are on LJ) because I haven't had the chance to

Yeah, I mean, the sound guys were nice enough, but the sound glitches were very... Well... basic. An event of that size really shouldn't be having those types of problems. And the man running the soundboard didn't seem very experienced at it.

Again, great guys, didn't hesitate to listen to my advice on how to mix the band, and were very prompt about fixing their errors... But, overall, they just seemed a tad inexperienced.

aah ok! yea I wasn't even aware there was a guy working the entire soundboard...I thought Robin (their band manager) would be working it, but guess it was one of those were they have a so-called "experienced" guy working it

Hope ya don't mind the lengthy reply :)

Well, I mean, just listen to this... Its an excerpt from Steve Harris' (Iron Maiden) road diary back in like, '81 or something

ooh man dude that WAS crazy! i would hate to be the person who has to fix that problem! thats insane how the crowd kept on rockin and didn't even care and Steve knew about it right away and was soo frustrated. Crazy!

Nah, Robin doesn't mess with anything sound related. And, to be technical, I think they recently adopted me as their 'official' sound guy, haha.

Almost every venue has an 'in house' sound guy. Almost evey 'in house' sound guy doesn't know what they're doing. At least, of all the ones I've come across... Occasionally someone will actually know (ie: the guy at the "Around the Corner" bar in the west end knows what he's doing).

aaha yes very true! i can see your point.....u may have certain presets and whatnot that you want down to a "T" and the house guy might be like "what??". but yes i gotcha there! congrats on your sound guy position haha!

Haha, I think its safe to say, anything Crosswinds related we'll be asking you. I mean if you're good, you're good... well its at least that way with sex...
