A sound tech’s essential obligation is to help the sound specialist and he has just one significant duty, which is to be mindful. Burden in and load out are second simply to that essential duty.

Be Attentive

There are numerous features to being mindful. Above all else a decent solid tech will take care of the necessities of the designer. Being mindful methods focusing. The architect ought to have no trouble at all speaking with his tech. A portion of the regular methods for correspondence that are utilized during shows are:

Two-way radios or shut circuit comm. frameworks

PDAs

Instant messages

Hand signals

A gesture of the head

A tech should take cues from his architect and should continually look at the specialist to check whether he needs something. The designer of any show has a great deal at the forefront of his thoughts. There is a ton he must be liable for to accomplish really proficient outcomes. The specialist should zero in on a few things immediately: the craftsmen, the sound, and the crowd. One thing he ought not need to zero in on is standing out enough to be noticed. Whenever the specialist experiences issues speaking with his tech, the tech is neglecting to manage his responsibility. It is the obligation of the tech to be mindful. The designer ought to never need to leave his seat after the craftsmen show up. The sound tech should be mindful to the necessities of the craftsmen as well. At the point when the specialists are setting up, it is the sound tech’s duty to give the accompanying:

Hand every craftsman their link and advise them, “This is for you,” or “You plug in here” for instance.

We are not to contact the specialists’ gear and they are not to contact our own (sensibly speaking obviously.) We need to contact the drums to mic them, yet we affably inquire as to whether that is alright and we try to inquire as to whether any of our mics are impeding the drummer. Vocalists, clearly, will think that its important to contact our mouthpieces and that is alright as well. Yet, it is the sound tech’s responsibility to make all fundamental changes in accordance with receiver stands to get the ideal arrangement for each craftsman. No craftsman ought to actually need to change a mic stand. At whatever point that happens the sound tech isn’t taking care of his responsibility. The craftsman should just need to zero in on his instrument and his exhibition. Playing music is an enthusiastic encounter and if a craftsman becomes annoyed on the grounds that he needs to change his mic stand it will influence his feelings adversely and that will debase his presentation.

The sound tech should change the screens to suit the specialists’ inclinations. Once in a while they need them closer, or farther away, or turned along these lines or that. It is basic to keep the screens out of the criticism zone, for example not pointing at amplifiers that may incite input.

At whatever point the designer leaves his seat to take care of those obligations, the sound tech is neglecting to take care of his responsibility. The architect can’t zero in on setting up the board, and the screen blend, and the craftsmen, and the crowd on the off chance that he needs to do the tech’s occupation as well. The main employment of the sound tech is to be mindful. Being mindful methods more than taking care of the necessities of the designer and the craftsmen. Being mindful methods going to the show and focusing consistently. Tune in for issues that may emerge and alarm the specialist of any worries.

Take a gander at the framework. In the event that there is a speaker that is off hub, the sound tech should see something to that effect immediately and right it decisively. In the event that a craftsman is attempting to impart something, the sound tech should be focusing on that as well. It is the designer’s duty to comprehend those interchanges that come from the craftsmen during a show, however, more critically, it is the sound tech’s responsibility to be mindful to the necessities of the specialist and the craftsman. That may mean aiding the specialist sort out the thing the craftsman is attempting to convey. Moreover, if an amplifier stand slips, or gets moved out of position or pushed over, the sound tech should address that without a moment’s delay.

Sound specialists consistently don dark. This is incompletely in light of the fact that they once in a while need to sneak out in front of an audience during a presentation. Their dark garments mirrors less light than some other tone and along these lines causes less to notice them than if they were wearing fluorescent yellow for instance. However, it additionally tells the crowd that he isn’t an individual from the band. He is a sound tech and he is simply doing what sound specialists do. He is being mindful to the necessities of the craftsman or the designer, and he is doing it well.
