Summary
"Aspiring sound professionals beware: The live concert business is exploding. Hundreds of acts are hitting the road every year, and whether they play rock, hip-hop, country, or jazz, they all need to sound great. Just who is at the controls for these shows? And how did they score the gig? How can you?" "Meet over 70 of the world's finest front-of-house and monitor engineers - the people who mix everyone from the Rolling Stones to Norah Jones - and listen as they reveal the gear they use and how they use it, how they make top acts sound amazing every night and what it takes to survive the climb to the big time."--Jacket.
