You usually dont hear about the Audio Crew Chief so this was nice to hear and inspiring.

As a Madonna concert fan, it’s amazing to know the complex technical/engineering elements (audio/visual/lighting) that goes behind the scene in staging these tours. It’s conceivable that glitches can happen before and during these shows that these skilled tech guys can remedy so as not to ruin the show experience for both the artists and the audience. Appreciate this video.

Nick.....you are killing it....
Really appreciate every video...🎉🎉🎉

Nick - really appreciate the questions you asked of the SE to try to explain the squiggles on the screen in layman’s terms. I’ve found in my career (technical, but not pro audio) that very technical people often struggle to put themselves in outsiders’ shoes when explaining these kinds of things.

I know Andy. I ran into him in Nashville at a show he was on. I use to build sound systems with him a few years ago.
