Greetings from an ex sound techincian from MSC! I might be embarking to Royal! I have an interview soon. Greetings from Argentina.

I hope you continue to make videos as i have come to enjoy your channel thank you for sharing with us all.

Can you do a video of how you became a professional sound technician? You do a great job!!!

absolutely amazing, keep it up.

I like the way you connect your dots

what an an awesome tour and insight

Thank you so much for such in depth videos. Glad to see what really happens in the background there ! Keep them coming, we really love them

Informative stuff 💥

Greeting from Canada! Thank you for this very interesting video

becoming you fan. thanks for sharing

amazed the cruise companies invest so much in their gear was expecting some old yamaha m7cl or something! good insight video , fair play to you!

Great video. Not just from FOH Audio perspective. After 2 decades of TV audio in the field I started doing FOH corporate and now some music. I like hearing how SMPTE TC for the show works for lights and prod mgr. And click for musulicians with Ableton. Great behind the scenes stuff.

Amazing videos so far! As a soon sound technician here in México this videos are such great help and inspirational for my future career. Keep up the good work!

You are the best! 👏

Hi Christine thank you so much for those videos to show people how it is behind the scenes works i myself am a stage staff of Royal Caribbean i have done my first contract on Mariner Of The Seas from December till July now am going to Allure Of The Seas hope to get the rig assist training and be rig assistant, it's an amazing job specially center stage that's my favorite show so far. keep rocking

Hey, thank you so much for posting this, I'm about to join celebrity cruises, most of the edge class ships are rather similar so this really helped in preparing me for my first contract!

Hi Christine, my name is Adrian and I am an ex Entertainment Technical Manager on Carival Cruise Line. I just subscribed to your channel, your videos are bringing back so many nice memories. I am very interested to see how the Entertainment Technical department is structured on Royal and compare it to Carnival. I am helping Cast-a-way Cruise and Resort Hiring Agency to recruit Entertainment Technicians for different cruise lines. If that's ok with you, i will start sending links to your videos to future ship techs. Keep up the good work, I can't wait to see new videos!

The SD8 is a mighty desk! Do you just load different scenes based on the SMPTE throughout the show that were pre-programmed or you also have to do your gain staging, EQing, etc? Also I'm curious to what PA you guys are running there? Keep up the good work!

Hello Christine! Do you also run paper techs? If so, how often do you guys do it? 😊

What a QUEEN

Love this. would you mind showing us how are you setup the layout of the digico? which groups, custom layer you use, which which reverb and delay you are using? And do you have any tips when mixing a show? Thank you - coming from an audio engineer student. Thanks.

I like your content Christine, I had never seen video how is behind the show, I understood a bit Adrian's work, but I was left with two doubt please: 1) What are the knowledge and requirements to apply to Stage Staff? 2) DOES THE SCENERY THAT HAS TO BE ASSEMBLED REQUIRE INSTALLING AND SCREWING THINGS, OR THAT DOES NOT THE STAGE STAFF DO THAT?

Thanks for the gemreat vids Christie. I just want to know is vaccine compulsory for Royal carribean workers?

So is everything automatic from that abelton file? Or does it just prompt you to physically mute and unmute things, adjust levels, the lighting engineer to physically turn on states etc.? Like are you still riding faders? Fascinated by this.

Hi! Do you also work with signange and ITV specialist or with the multimedia specialist?

HELLO THANKS FOR ALL THE INFO, QUICK QUESTION, IN THAT SPECIFIC SHIP, BRILLIANCE, CAN YOU BE IN PASSENGER AREAS WHEN NOT WORKING? IF SO, UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES?

How did you get started?

Hi

Hi! I was wondering how old is the minimum age to apply for the job for a sound technician on a cruise?

Are you mixing monitors and in ears too or only foh?

Hey what are the necessary qualifications required to get hired as a sound engineer

As musician with studio experience, and regular cruiser, I have a question of concern that you may be able to answer. As I'm sure you are aware, in industry the 'safe' loudness limit is 85db, over which ear protectors must be legally provided. This is not a matter of earing sensitivities, it is a matter of safety & law. I am constantly horrified, throughout many popular cruise lines that the production show levels are well in excess of 100db, and nobody seems to care. I often see children in the audience with hands over their ears - their parents unaware that it is causing them long term damage. If I understand you correctly, the settings as provided for the prerecorded production shows are set in stone, and you may not have any control over the loudness. Years ago, when I regularly played in bands, the venues would sometimes have a cut out meter that effectively killed the sound if it was over the 'safe' limit. These days. many of us have free sound meters on our mobiles (but they must be callibrated to get meaningful results.) The cruise industry promotes the mantra, 'Your saftey is our main concern' but clearly that does not include one's hearing. I often wonder if, once at sea, certain regulations which apply on land, no longer apply? Do you ever monitor the actual loudness levels as part of your job?

Everything looks good but Im not a fan of the drum overhead mics.

hlo madam i want to work on board ship as a sound technician so i want to join you to know about my field of work. could you help me?
