Being willing to do manual labor.
Iโm a sound engineer, all I need to do is push faders right?
How do you think those speakers got there? Or the cables that are ran to them, or the stage getting setup, or the truck getting unloaded and reloaded? My job is 80% manual labor, 10% pulling random fixes out of my ass, 5% bullshitting, and only 5% actually pushing faders. As a sound engineer Iโm only actually behind the console for 2-4 hours a week the rest is all the work required to sit behind the console.
That's why I chose to work at a dubbing studio instead of doing live shows, I don't have to setup anything lol.
I'm not opposed to setting things up, but I'd rather make the routing work than manually raise the speakers.
Still important work. Position the speakers where they look best and you'll have a memorable show, not for the good reasons.
