Gig Etiquette

[soundian]

Ian knows all about sounchecks from hell...eh bud...

Been there, done it, got the T-shirt.

Although there's no such thing as a great soundcheck there are hassle-free soundchecks, and I like those.

Very much.

Good grief.

I don't understand bands that argue with live engineers, it's bad enough when these poor souls have to put up with members of the public chipping in every 10 minutes.

We're always polite to engineers and thank them for doing a good job (if it's good) and thank them anyway (if it wasn't so great). Being polite costs nothing, and the SISO adage is incredibly apt. Don't complain about how your guitar sounds pish out front when your Line 6 Spider has the gain turned up to 8 and the mids are scooped out; it's like your imagination's supposed to fill the gap there.

The only time I've really lost my rag at an engineer is when I was blasted with raging HF feedback during a soundcheck because the monitors hadn't been rung out properly. But these things are few and far between.
