Hey everybody! I want to get a conversation going here. It’s been a little quiet, and we have people all across the globe here who are interested in Audio Engineering!! Let’s learn from each other and get to know one another! My question is this: Do you make money with music? If so, what’s the biggest part of your income?; Weddings? Sports? Conferences? Festivals? Bar gigs? Studio work? Mixing or mastering? Myself, I make most of my living by doing live sound at weddings, corporate events, and playing in bands on festivals, weddings, and in bars. I have other smaller income streams through lessons, mixing/mastering, and consultation. What do you do??? What’s been the most profitable area of your business? And if you’re not making money yet, what’s in the way? What would need to happen for you to make this a full time job? Can’t wait to hear from you all. I hope you’re having a great day! ~Jon

I just wanna share a cool gig I did recently. I got the opportunity to work as an A2 for FloSports on the broadcast of the Penn Relays I mostly hanged in the press box with the commentators, RA, track and crowd mics, and on field interviews. There were a few times where I would fill in for the A1 and take mixing controls during the broadcast

Hey Sound Guys and Gals, I’m curious to know if you have any experience using a mixer. And if so, do you use an Analog or Digital mixer? Let me know what you guys are working with!

I’ve been having to do video a lot lately with my AV work. Multi ins and outs, it’s pretty cool. I still have a lot to learn about resolution, EDID, and bandwidth protocols. But so far so good, I’m loving it. Sometimes the videos these doctors are playing aren’t really what I want to see at 7am in the morning…. But hey, it’s work! Wondering if you do a lot of video in your work, and what was the most helpful thing for you in acquiring video skills?
