Live Sound & Sound Design

Engineering, system design, and technical execution for stage and performance.

Overview

My work in live sound covers both musical performance and theater production. This includes front-of-house and monitor engineering, as well as the technical design of the sound systems themselves.

I focus on the entire signal chain—from physical speaker placement and RF coordination to the final mix. The goal is always a reliable, consistent experience for both the audience and the performers.

Approach

I treat live sound as a balance between technical planning and real-time adjustment. In theater, this involves mapping out coverage and programming complex cues. For live bands, it's about creating a stable stage environment so the performance can happen without technical friction.

I prioritize preparation—solving potential issues like RF interference or playback failure during the design phase rather than during the show.

Services

  • FOH & Monitor Engineering: Mixing for bands, ensembles, and musical theater.
  • System Design: Speaker placement, system tuning, and signal flow architecture.
  • Show Programming: Audio cues automation and digital console cue programming.
  • RF Coordination: Managing wireless microphone and IEM systems.
  • Playback Systems: Designing and sorting backing tracks for live use.

Pricing

Rates depend on the specific requirements of the production:

  • Single events vs. theater runs
  • System design vs. day-of engineering
  • Touring and travel requirements

I am available for local bookings or to join a project as a touring engineer.
