Live Sound Reinforcement | EM Tips and Techniques on Live Concert Sound for the Musician

There are certain live sound goals that every band should seek to accomplish, no matter where you are performing. First and foremost is making the lead instrument clearly audible to as much of the audience as possible. I don’t care how great your band is, if the audience can’t hear the main instrument—in most cases, the vocal—they won’t enjoy your performance and you won’t get a positive reaction. Next, make sure that you can accomplish the first goal without subjecting the audience to feedback. Nothing runs a crowd out of the room faster than a loud, high-frequency squeal coming through the P.A. system. You also want to present a coherent balance of instruments so that the audience “gets” your band, and it’d be great if you could do so at a volume level that doesn’t send musicians or audience members running for cover. Let’s take a look at some of the ways you can address these issues and get an edge on your live sound.
