This past week, Digital Worlds put on its bi-annual
production of LiveVibeTV. It’s a show in front of a live audience and
additionally streamed live over the web. As I have been looking for more live
audio experience, this seemed like a great opportunity to get my hands dirty. I
was given the position of audio director, which consisted of all pre-production
duties, routing, setting the levels for both house and online mixes, and live
dynamic mixing for the online stream.
As most of my audio experience exists primarily within
software, the LiveVibeTV production was an excellent experience that allowed me
to learn more about physical routing and mixing on physical boards. I ran 16
channels from our house band and wireless microphone receivers, split them,
sent 16 channels to house board and 16 channels across the building to a
combination of 3 smaller boards (talkback, house band, guest microphones) that
sent audio to our video mixer for the online stream.
Through the troubleshooting, managing of both house and
online mixes, and live dynamic mixing, this past week I learned a great deal
within the realm of live audio production and found myself very interested in
learning more and working more shows in the future.
