What They Don’t Know

OK, blatant self-promotion but I could use the tribe’s help. I have been asked to do a book–kind of a Live Sound 101 deal. I got the idea the other day to hit up some soundco types about the terms we all use daily but that new guys might not understand. You know like when you ask the guy to hand you a stinger and he goes looking for a bee. But it hit me that this is not just about terms. What are the things that you find news guys–who come out of recording school and bypass the school of hard knocks–don’t know that they should. And Do’t worry, I’ll give credit where credit is due.
