This Month in Mix
You’re too far back. Why can’t I just hang the P.A., for goodness sake? Does the vocalist really need to cup the mic? I just want to mix—why are they making me pack the truck, too!? Hey, front-of-house engineers: What’s the worst situation you’ve been in while on tour and how did you overcome it? Let us know by e-mailing mixeditorial@mixonline.com.
I built a remote recording/live broadcast studio in a high school
fieldhouse. I'm an audio engineer for the Band of the Air Force Reserve at
Robins AFB, GA. We were doing our annual Independence Day concert, which
featured our Air Force band and country artist John Berry at one of the
local high school football stadiums. The only place near the stage, which
sat in the end zone, where I could isolate myself was the fieldhouse's
shower room, which was 30x50 feet of tile and concrete. I set up more than a dozen
baffles to cut down on the reflections so I could do a live broadcast mix of
the show to the local TV station's remote truck. It was 70-plus input show so I
ended up sub-mixing parts of the band from two analog consoles into a Yamaha
DM1000 for my final 2-track. I also sub-mixed those 70-plus inputs into
a 32-channel recording rack, full of MOTU 896s. I had the entire rig in and
out of the fieldhouse within 32 hours.
