SUMMARY:Ask the Experts – Teching for Live Sound Engineers
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe role of FOH or Monitor Tech differs from the role of system and stage techs\, system engineers and crew chiefs. They work alongside FOH and Monitor Engineers and responsible for setting up and maintaining the FOH/Mon equipment. (consoles and processing). The FOH Tech is responsible for running walk in and out music\, announcements\, media feeds. FOH techs often fill the role of the system engineer and are responsible for or assist in the EQ and time alignment of the system and setting the rigging points. FOH Techs can be called on to record the performance through digital technology such as Pro Tools. FOH Techs often mix the opening artists. FOH Techs should have solid experience with different consoles and outboard processing. \nAt the other end of the snake\, Monitor Techs are often responsible for In-Ear Monitoring Systems (IEMs) and RF coordination. The Monitor Tech will most likely be responsible for mixing monitors for the opening artists. The Monitor Tech should have solid experience with different consoles and outboard processing\, as well as different types of monitor and IEM systems. \nBoth of these positions are often filled by well-established engineers. FOH and Monitor Techs often work with Artist Engineers on a regular basis and are an important part of a touring production. \nThis is your opportunity to have your questions answered by Rachael Moser\, Krysten Dean\, Trevor Waite\, and Ivan Ortiz. \nFeb. 20\, 2021\, at 11 AM PST \nRegister Here and Post Your Questions\nModerated by Beth O’Leary\nBeth is a freelance live sound engineer and tech-based in Sheffield\, England. While studying for her degree in zoology\, she got distracted working for her university’s volunteer entertainment society and ended up in the music industry instead of wildlife conservation.

She has a particular passion for flying PA\, the black magic that is RF\, travel\, and good coffee. Read Beth’s Blog \nPanelists\nKyrsten Dean\nKrysten is a touring Sound System Engineer and Crew Chief working for Eighth Day Sound Systems\, but if you said Krysten on the road\, most people would not know who you were talking about because everyone calls her “KD.” She has been working in professional audio for the last 17 years after quitting her corporate engineering job.

She is also an entrepreneur working to introduce more women and people of color to the technical side of the touring industry\, through what she likes to call S.T.E.M.M. – Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, Math and Music. \nTrevor Waite \nTrevor works for Group One Limited as a technical support engineer.
