30 PRODUCTION SOUND & VIDEO – Winter 2022
From an input to an ear. That is the basic
idea in regard to monitor mixing on live
events. In particular, the live events I mix
monitors on include live multi-act TV award
shows and special events like the Super Bowl
halftime show. This is a unique world to
work in since it is not the same band each
night like the touring world, although I am
fully aware of the challenges of both types
of stage. I get along great with most touring
Monitor Mixers who come through our award
shows. We have worked together for years
toward a common goal and it is something
for which I am consistently grateful. I can
break it down to several main focuses that
allow the greatest chance for success.
