An interesting, clear and to the point article by Jonah Altrove, published on prosoundweb.com, that focuses on an alternative approach to sound check. It does not make the job easier, but it is an approach that allows a better flow of the whole process of sound check, both for the artist and the engineer.
“Like many sound engineers, I have a background in music, so I’ve been on both sides of sound checks and know how annoying a poorly-run check can be for musicians.These experiences have led to a paradigm shift in the way I approach sound checks: they’re for the artists, not the engineers”(Jonah Altrove)
