After mixing sound for 200+ live shows over the past five years, I have learned one truth the hard way: your live production mixer can make or break a performance. I have watched bands struggle with muddy vocals because of poor preamps, and I have seen perfectly good songs ruined by mixers that crash mid-set. […]
