I remember last summer, “shadowing” a dear friend of mine doing monitor on a CL5. This was my first active step back into the industry – and my first encounter with a digital console. When I think back at that day, I remember thinking: “I know absolutely nothing”.It was the beginning – and now, one year later, I’m going to take my final practical exam on a Midas Pro 6 and it feels good.

I even know of some that are close to sixty and still touring.

I always thought live sound was a thing that I had managed to put behind me in those years, where I was doing “something totally different”. I could not have been more wrong. No matter how much time goes by or how much your surroundings, (and maybe you self), are trying to convince you that you should do something totally different than live sound, it was always there in the back of my head and deep in my heart. Time could not keep this passion down. (more…)
