| Figure 1 - Live at the Chapel |
On Monday 21st October, The RTU's and Jake put together a jamming session for all the Level 3 students to have a hands on experience of setting up The Chapel Studio.
I took on the role of Audio Engineer and Floor Manager. both these jobs are demanding and i had to be thinking fast and making quick and prompt decisions.
Floor Manager
As floor manager i took on the responsibilities of directing the guys in my team to set up the recording studios in the quickest time possible. by doing so, we were able to set up the equipment such as drum kit, microphones and amplifiers and rigging them to the audio console via the XLR patch bay.
Audio Engineer
As part of the role as Audio Engineer i had to set up the audio console and perform sound checks to ensure that the band sounded at their best possible. i performed many tasks to do this, such as; adjusting equalization, cut and boosting, changing the top and bottom levels and many more.
Jack who as well as playing lead guitar decided to become vocalist and wanted to hear himself through monitor speakers, so we quickly set them up using the 350 watt Live Mackie Speakers and patched them using the patch bay in Control Room A so he would be able to hear himself through them.
It was great to have a hands on experience and to do something different for a change. i will hopefully be performing many different roles within the industry throughout the year.
