I have been called up to play Phoenix soundman yet again tonight, but with a whole two hours notice this time. I should be highly honoured! The money will come in very handy, especially with St Patrick’s Day tomorrow. If I keep on doing the sound, (second time in 6 days), I will need to get someone in to help run Phoenix Live as I simply cant do everything, especially as I never get the easy nights, I seem to get all the metal nights, which are a nightmare if you need to get away from the sound desk, but hopefully tonight will be a lot better with the bands working with me. If I can get all the guitar channels levelled out at 0db without boosting the gain (which will require cooperation from the bands), I will have a little flexibility to boost the vocals without feedback, and hopefully there wont be a loud snare as they buggers the whole sound up as everything needs to be raised to the level of the snare, which really isnt good for the ears, I want to keep the amps out of the red tonight, but I wouldnt bet on that happening, many have tried and many have failed in the Phoenix!
