ABSTRACT
There is a certain adrenalin rush to going live, as it's when your ‘It'll be all right on the night’ assurances are put to the test, and any mishaps are immediately transmitted to the viewers. However, you, as the sound department, need not only to handle the sound output from your mixer, but also check the circuits to and from base, and ensure that you are both sending the required level and receiving the correct feeds from them.
