The cartoon is saying that a sound technician can really screw up a band's sound, no matter how well they are playing. The 'suck' control knob is just a representation of that point.

Precisely. A sound tech can make or break the band..

Well, rule of thumb, don't piss him off.

But if he sucks, then bad luck... LOL

 

[evodia]

kill the soundman?

that will make u happy.. =)p

 

[marilyn]

haha damn funny... been a soundman b4 and most soundman's don get the respect they deserve from bands who think they know it all, but then again sometimes its true we all get sucky soundman who r lazy who just think got sound ok already. Live sound mixing is a very high committment kinda job. Gotta be there early make sure u give the band a good sound during their rehearsals n make sure u know the songs they gonna and bring out the dynamics of
the band and how to know this make sure be there for rehearsals

its good for an instrumentalist to study out of his own instrument n get in touch with his surroundings. if not he/she will always be a frog in da well.

so i think we should all respect each other n guess everyone will be happy end of day

oops did i say too much out of context regards to the cartoon? haha sorry ah

 

[BleedsNoMore]

Different genres of music have different sound qualities. Some soundmen are good for rock music but sucky at other kinds of music. Good soundmen should be well versed with different kinds of music to bring out the best sounds for all genres and different stage settings and accoustics.
