What kind of stuff do they have to figure out that changes every night?
In: Technology
Well, the performing act will usually send out a line list and a stage plot. This let’s the sound crew know how many inputs they need, where they need them, and what kind of gear they need to prepare for. Then they set up their monitors and main, let the act set up, then hook everything up to the mixer. Then you do a sound check. Typically you start with the drums, then the guitar/bass/keys, then the vocals, then any other instruments. You make sure everybody hear what they need to out of their individual monitor wedges, and you make sure the sound coming out of the mains to the audience sounds balanced and clear. You save those levels in case somebody accidentally messes with them or if there is another act. Then you wait for the show.
