As well as being a very experienced musician, Harry has worked in live environments as a sound engineer/audio engineer for many years and with many bands, including...

Too Many Knobs

You pay for Harry's time, knowledge and experience. However, you need to be aware that the service does not include any equipment. You will need to provide your own. A daily rate is charged; not hourly.

Please, get in touch using the form below when you will receive a more precise idea of cost.

Sound Check

The single most important aspect of getting your sound right, both on stage and out front, is a thorough sound check. Among other processes, time is spent getting the input gain and gain staging correct right from the outset.

Front of House

You're there to entertain the audience. So, of course, what they hear is paramount to your gig. It's important to get the correct positioning of the front-of-house speakers, a good overall EQ, "ringing out" to avoid unwanted feedback and so on.

On-stage Sound

Secondary to the audience, but just as important, is how things sound on the stage to you, the band. Getting the correct mix for each band member in their monitor speaker or in-ear monitors. And, again, "ringing out" to pre-empt any feedback.

Live Performance

Once you're set up, that's not the end of it. A good sound engineer will be actively keeping an ear on everything, accomodating different songs, accomodating different singers, catching any unexpected feedback, and turning effects on and off in between songs. It's about making you sound good while taking care of things so that you can concentrate on the song at hand and the important issue of entertaining your audience.
