The Unexpected “Flip” That Happened In Vegas
Sep 05, 2023I guess this didn’t stay in Vegas, huh?
I had a blast last week working with a world class crew in Caesar’s Forum last week. PM5 console, over 2,000 attendees, a huge remote audience, TONS of cues, and a happy client.
One thing different about this gig vs others is that I was “just” the A1. I didn’t have to worry about RF, comm, or the sound system one bit. That was all handled by my A2, a comm tech, and the system tech (who all killed it). I simply got to mix for the house and livestream.
And man was that weird AND relieving.
Today I’d like to unpack that experience, the “flip” for the all-in-one-A1 to simply mixing the show to the best of my ability. We’ll cover:
- How I “released control” of the system to a great SE
- Why I didn’t care as much about the PA as I thought I would
- How production is a team sport
