How To Be A Live Sound Engineer
Being a live sound engineer is one of the best jobs going. It’s stimulating, challenging, fun, artistic, and also flexible. But how do you go about becoming a live sound engineer? I’m going to take you through the three stages I think you should go through to be a live sound engineer. These don’t need to be exclusive and you can start one before you’re finished with the first one.
It’s based on mixing bands because I believe that if you can mix a band you can probably mix anything, so if you want to get into conference sound for some reason I’d still recommend this path. Just like anything in life, there’s no guarantee of success, but some version of this plan worked for me so it can work for you.
