LIVE AUDIO: THE ART OF MIXING A SHOW

Reading for me is about gaining knowledge whether it’s factual or fictional. It’s very hard to gain anything from reading especially if it’s boring, and text books can be pretty boring.

This is not a text book, more of a rough guide to live sound. I wanted to write something that can be easily read, as if someone were talking to you. This is for all those people who don’t like to read, those who want to, but haven’t the stamina to finish, and those who have little interest in live sound but want to learn something.

On the back…
‘A live sound engineer’s world revolves around the venue. Whether you find yourself working in a cozy club or an expansive concert arena, every location has challenges. It takes more than plugging in a few amplifiers and turning up the volume full blast to get the job done. Experience and ingenuity are needed to ensure that the band’s sound is always at its best.’

‘Live Audio is a practical, hands-on, “in the trenches” guide to mixing and live sound from an author with years of professional experience. Combining a lively writing style and real-world examples with essential details covering the technical and practical aspects of working a live show, Live Audio gives you a real-world look into working a live venue.’
