Monitor Engineer Line Check (read description)
Here's a quick little line check (53 inputs) from last night in monitor world.. Usually the line check is just FOH saying "House" and me saying "monitors" then the backline tech moves onto the next input. But this video was recorded when I was knew to this touring camp and I was using the setup a previous engineer advanced so the shout was triggered by a foot switch and it didn’t get recorded that’s why you’ll notice me talking at times and you can’t hear me, that was me talking to the FOH engineer. He and I have both changed our setups. Now we share stage racks and he gets all talkbacks and his own mix of them and controls the level himself and I don’t have to engage my “talk to FOH” manually. If I need to get ahold of him during the show I use the clear com beacon instead. Okay back to reality. Since this was a co headlining tour our "on stage" inputs get re-patched during change over (just the sub snake lines). Having said that, we don't really have a set order for this just who ever is ready first. We can do it quicker than this but 4 minutes is the norm if all is going as it should. For those of you who are new to this or just interested in general I'm sure you'll appreciate the content as I would have appreciated it myself 10 years ago when I was starting out. Some things not seen are my wireless scan I do as soon as the band before us is off stage (to verify that my mid day soundcheck wireless frequencies are still good). Other than that I send noise to my wedges and fills to verify they work and are full range and that's basically it. It only takes a couple of minutes once all the on stage chaos is nearing a close.
