Great video. I am a sound engineer who does a lot of theatrical sound designs and I have mixed some of the shows I have designed and shows designed by others. I can absolutely confirm that there is nothing like mixing a musical. It is the hardest thing I have ever done as a sound engineer. It can be quite stressful and exhausting, but when things are going well it is absolutely exhilarating!
Thank you so much for making this! Alot of great info here and Jamie was very generious with sharing his knowledge! I had a brief stint as an A3 swing on a touring musical. I learnt alot during that gig, but also never had time to ask my A1/A2 these kind of questions as it was a busy busy show. Unfortunately, I didn't continue working for that audio company after that show left due to other commitments. But this brings back memories! I still do sound for theatre though, just not musicals.
