Hey guys! There is an opportunity I am being provided for a substitute mixing position to line by line mix Hairspray at a community theatre in the area. I would take over a weekend of the show where the main mixer is not available and mix for 3 days. They are wanting to offer me 160$ for this.

For context, I have around 2 years of audio in this realm and this would be my third musical line by line mixing. The first one was at my high school while the second one was at this very same community theatre and volunteered to do line by line mixing to get my foot in the door.

I feel like this is a rate that is super low. Not only would I be the one responsible for these 3 days audio wise and line by line mix 3 shows but I feel like I am not being compensated the time that it takes behind the scenes to get ready for this type of task, including all the tech days and rehearsals I have to attend to, where my time is not being compensated for.

I’m here to see what you guys think, I am obviously a little bit of a beginner but I do have expertise under my belt and felt like this was not a proper compensation for the amount of work this takes. Any comments would be appreciated!

Hey guys. I posted on here last year to see how it’s like working for Upstaging because I want to be a roadie/LD. I finally secured an interview to be a Lighting Tech and it looks promising. Does anyone here have any tips or advice for Upstaging? Anything I should be prepared for?

Thanks

Hey y’all, so I wanted to talk about a story that happened today a couple of hours ago. I happen to work at a Delivery Station and right as Pick&Stage began, the fire alarm at the dock got triggered and started sounding. You would think that this would lead management to start evacuating the building, but they did the entire opposite. We stood there with non-con carts waiting for OVER 20 minutes as no one knew what was going on. Myself and other people tried to start evacuating since it’s a fire alarm after all, and fire alarms equals evacuate, but management and PA started yelling at us and held us back and told us to keep picking. After 20-25 minutes or so of being held at the station, we were finally told to evacuate when the fire department started making its way to the station. They were even trying for associates with completed routes to go down the dock to finish staging, but luckily a regional manager didn’t permit it. This was the most unprofessional fire evacuation I have seen and truly shows how little Amazon cares about our safety just so they can keep their numbers up and going. We did the entire opposite of what we should do while a fire alarm sounds, fire drill or not (while there was no fire, it was not a planned drill). If there’s any way to report this unsafe behavior please let me know, because it’s crazy to be standing around looking brainless for 20+ mins wondering if we’re fine or about to be burned alive along with the building.

Hey guys!

I have a problem, right now I am trying to run a virtual sound check on a Behringer X32 with REAPER as my DAW but when I connect my USB-B to USB-A cable from the X32 to my Mac or Windows, it just doesn't recognize any new audio interfaces. I have tried everything, updating the firmware of the console, swapping cables, swapping the slot of the USB port it goes into both my computers, switched hubs on my Mac, installed and reinstalled new audio drivers, restarted computers, nothing recognizes it. I come here as a last resort to see if anybody is able to help with this.

Thank you!
