I’m curious about how you all feel about band members criticizing your work.

Although they may “know” some form of audio capabilities, do you think they should be able to say “your doing this wrong” or “these sound guys are not as good as last year”?

Was doing a festival for the first time with a company I work for. And as a first time doing a festival ever and I was put on the main stage A1 for 6 bands all different setups and different equipment with only 5 minutes to hookup and line check.

One of the drummers gave a look, walked over and told me a lot of things and asking me questions about why I didn’t do this and saying why I should.

I understand the opinion on helping however I do believe that if you are not on the board mixing said bands, you should only suggest not shame on the work.

As a first time this honestly lowered my self esteem making me text my boss and say,”hey man, I’m not sure if I can do this for this gig because it’s not right of a mix”

I want yalls opinion on this, any advice dealing with these situations?

No shame to band members by the way, more of a question than anything!!

Simple question, I need a transcription tool that can connect to the console or Dante so that I can see what the backline/team members is saying over TB if I don’t have my ears in at FOH. I’ve seen a few things that are possible but they don’t have much of any review.

I would use a squak box however with some of the rooms I am in it is not able to be used due to FOH position or the venue limitations on this.

In my work this would be fantastic for future events as well for our shot caller in some of our shows when multiple people talk at once and it gets into a jumbled mess.

Let me know!
