On the ground
This work in Hot Springs
Live music in Hot Springs happens in downtown venues and outdoors in the parks along the river. The park sites are pleasant to work because the ambient noise floor is low and we can mix at a sane level. Downtown rooms are historic sandstone and considerably more reflective than they look. We get your input list ahead of the date and keep an engineer at the board through the set.
Conditions in Hot Springs
Hot Springs sits lower and warmer than the rest of the hills, which stretches your outdoor season on both ends and makes late spring and early fall genuinely workable here when they are a gamble in Lead or Custer. Downtown is historic sandstone, so load in paths get confirmed rather than assumed. The open ground south and east of town is the windy part, and outdoor ceremony audio there gets planned for that as a matter of course rather than as a surprise. It is about an hour from Rapid City, so travel is in the schedule from the start and not a line that appears later.

How we work
Our approach
The input list comes before the date, not at line check
Every act has a stage plot and an input list, even the ones who have never written one down. We get it in advance, work out the channel count, the monitor sends, and what has to be wireless, and show up with the right rig patched and ready. Sorting this out at load in is how soundchecks run an hour long.
Monitors matter more than the main system
The audience notices front of house. The performers only notice monitors. If the band cannot hear itself, the performance suffers regardless of how good the room sounds out front. We build monitor mixes properly and check them with each performer rather than sending everyone the same thing.
Somebody stays at the board
A live mix is not a setting, it is a job. Levels move, a guitarist changes pedals, a speaker steps back from the microphone. We keep an engineer at the console through the whole performance so those things get handled in the moment instead of becoming the thing everyone remembers.
