A Fly's-Eye View of a Rock Band's Soundcheck

This is a look at a band's soundcheck from a fly's-eye view. A look over my shoulder as I go thru the channels and get the Midas M32 digital mixer ready for the show. This is journey through the sound system prep and band's setup process before a big show.

From the vantage point of a curious fly, you'll get an up-close look at the intricate details of the band's equipment and the audio and lighting production as everyone gets ready for the show to take the stage. A behind the scenes look at the workflow as sound levels are adjusted, microphones tested, and equipment placed to make sure everything is perfect and ready for their performance.

FOH mix is done on a Midas M32 and there is a Behringer X32 in Monitor world for stage monitor mixes. 3 biamped mixes downstage, a biamped cue wedge in monitor world, and a tri-amped drum monitor just off the drum riser SL of the drummer. There is some added behind the scenes footage from the stage showing pre-show elements of the backline and sound system.
