Tip for everybody that wants to be a sound or a light-technician!!!

I think that many people forget how hard it is to be a sound or light-technician long days your first in the building and last in the building but its a great job there are some hazards falling, collapsing of the stage and or truss, being electrocuted by 32 amps, falling objects from 20 meters or 65 feet, losing your fingers by a motor hoist and another few things can happen. you need to have a passion for music to do this work.

What do you do if you attended the schools have the ear but can't find a studio to work for that soots your musical appeal.. I'm into rock metal, classical, live sound.. Not a fan of this pop, hiphop auto tuned stuff today. Don't mean to sound arrogant, but i feel you need to be happy with what you're doing and work is only work when you don't enjoy it.

I'm an amateur sound engineer. It's good to hear the professionals also have problems with the talent.

this seems all fine and dandy. A good look at the biz, but it doesn't show the long long hours of setting up, moving, and tear downs not to mention the show itself.

Alot of musicians fail to realize that we can make or break most careers too. So those lilttle problems that occur and they will occur alot, have to be fixed quickly and quietly. We all have very interesting stories to tell if anyone is ever interested in a particular show or artist. My best was Weird Al and worst was Marie Osmond

@soundguy357k I completely agree, there was plenty of interesting stuff I had to leave out as unfortunately I was limited to a 5 minute time frame! please do share if you have any interesting stories! i'd love to hear.

[Drumboy81]

@JoDufficy Thank you so much...had forgotten what an amazing song that is!

I also love the odd-meters in it. :)

Have a nice day and thanks again! :)

Funny , no matter the level of production you're in , the blame always fall on the sound guy...
