Coming sooner!
Still figuring out what to charge and the details and such but poke around below to get the idea of what I'll be offering. First few people to sign up for each will get a discounted rate since I'll still be trial-and-error-ing my workflow.
Live Sound Optimization Consultation
$150.00 $100.00
Who this is for: - Bands that play or want to play club environments, maybe around 200-500 capacity - Bands preparing for a club tour or a special show - Bands transitioning from the club environment to larger-scale touring environments - Bands considering hiring their own engineer (doesn't have to be me, but you'll hate anyone you hire if you aren't optimizing things on your end first) - Brand new bands (but be sure to check out my specialized New Band Bootcamp service too) Recommended areas of focus: - Mic technique for vocalists - Monitoring strategies - Load-in/load-out efficiency - Gear recommendations How it'll go: - Schedule a band practice with an extra hour planned for talking with me about changes you could try and rerunning things differently together. If you cannot all commit to being there for the entirety of the extended practice, we'll need to schedule another date. - I'll come to a band practice and talk to y'all about your goals and concerns before you start. We'll decide together how and when I offer feedback. - I'll watch you practice as you usually do and take notes, maybe asking some questions between songs. Ideally I'd be able to pop in and listen to anything you might be running through a practice PA on headphones. - Idk I'm tired of typing
New Band Bootcamp
$350.00 $200.00
Calling all musicians new to playing shows as a band! Playing in your practice space and playing on a stage are two very, very different things. You might find that your amps sound different, you can't hear your vocals, you're overwhelmed by the sound of cymbals, and so on. Hell, you might be saddled with running your own sound if it's a DIY thing! You also, by no fault of your own, might be doing things that are inconsiderate to a venue or engineer. Please give yourself grace in these times when you're new to something - you can't know until you do it! But hopefully I can give you some tips to help you build great relationships with all the spaces you play and sound good while you're doing it. Includes access to all of my live sound PDF guides. What we'll do (at my house in Windsor Park): - Load-in/out drills - Practice mic technique - Stage plot workshop - Talk about: - Stage volume for amps, choice in cymbals - Using backline - Front of house vs. monitors - What to not waste your money on - How to not sound silly when talking to bookers and engineers - Idk I'm tired of typing
Shadow Me on a Club Gig
$50.00 $30.00
EVEN IF YOU GIVE ME MONEY, IF YOU DON'T DO THE HOMEWORK, I WILL NOT LET YOU SHADOW. Homework required! And if you buy this and change your mind, it's fine, I'll refund you, but I will want to know what changed your mind on shadowing so I can understand people's perspectives on working live sound better. I used to let anyone who asked do this, but I want to make it a little more of a formal process and hopefully make it a more useful experience for both of us And yeah, I'm demanding homework but I don't know what it is going to be yet, fight me Comes with my PDF, which also does not exist yet, A Guide to Your First Sound Gigs.
