SUMMARY:Ask the Experts – FOH Mixing for Live Music
DESCRIPTION:What does a FOH Engineer do?\nSimply put: Each individual instrument on stage has its own microphone and input\, from the lead singer all the way down to the individual drums and cymbals on the drum kit. The FOH Engineer manipulates the levels and equalization of the various instruments and vocals blending them together\, adding reverb and effects as needed\, to produce a mix of the band which is amplified through the PA system. \nThe level of creativity and freedom a FOH Engineer has with the mix varies from artist to artist.  Sometimes a band or artist has a clear vision of what they want to sound like live. It is the FOH Engineers’ job to interpret and re-create this via the sound system.  Sometimes a band leaves their sound entirely up to the FOH Engineer. \nIt is usually up to the FOH Engineer to decide or at least recommend what microphones to use on each instrument and vocal.  On large tours\, the FOH Engineer provides a technical spec of what the sound system requirements are. This generally reflects their preferences in microphones\, mixing console\, outboard gear\, plug-ins\, PA system\, etc… and any other details pertaining to how the system should be set up. \nJoin SoundGirls for a webinar on FOH Mixing for Live Music. This is your opportunity to ask questions and get them answered with this expert panel. Moderated by Grace Royse and panelists include Michelle Sabolchick Pettinato\, Bryony October\, Dana Wachs\, Amanda Davis\, and Fela Davis \nJune 30\, 2021 – 11 AM – 1 PM PDT / 2 PM – 4 PM EDT\n\nRegister and Post Questions\nModerated By Grace Royse\nGrace Royse has clocked nearly two decades and thousands of festivals\, tours\, and live broadcast performances as FOH engineer\, Tour manager and production manager.
