Night shift š„¹š„¹š„¹
I am soooo tired. Iām sleepy. My body has already submitted to weakness but apparently the band didnāt get the memo.
So here I am at the console, staring at 32 channels like they personally offended me.
The drummer hits the snare: BANG
The guitarist: WEEEEEE!
The bassist :dummmmm
And me? Iām mixing with one eye open, one hand on the fader, and the other hand negotiating with Godā¦..
Someone asksSam, can you make the vocals brighter ā¦
Brother⦠at this point, I need my life brighter.
The band is playing like itās the biggest concert of the year. Meanwhile, Iām fighting sleep like it owes me money and my love life šš¤£
But thatās the life of a sound guy.
Everybody hears the music.
Only the sound guy hears the problems.
And tonight, if you hear a perfect mix, just know it was mixed by a man who was technically awake⦠but spiritually already in bed.
Bigups to all the sound men and a couple of sound women that I know
Feel appreciated todayā¦
