About me
I have lived in the North East of England my whole life and during the most recent years i have been gaining more and more knowledge in live sound and theatre. For example i have owned and used my own PA system for at least 5 years, with which i have been able to provide good quality audio reinforcement for a number of live music events and some stage productions. As a result i have become very familiar with a wide range of equipment including the use of Yamaha digital consoles such as the 01V, analogue consoles including my own Yamaha MG32/14 FX and Soundcraft LX7. In addition i have been able to upgrade and expand my speaker system over time and this has allowed me to experience the advantages and disadvantages of the many different products available, including working with passive and active gear from the likes of Db Technologies, Yamaha, Qsc, Behringer to name a few.Due to the amount of experience I've gained working with various different bands and acts in a wide range of venues, i have been able to identify the main techniques and 'tricks of the trade' of sound reinforcement alongside specific details and a keen ear to pick out any discrepancies. I am firmly in the belief that it would be a difficult task for anyone to perform well as a sound engineer unless they know for themselves what is required from the performers' point of view, as a result of this i find it extremely useful to be in a professional, gigging band as this puts me on the other side and lets me relate to, and understand, what it is the performers need.
