This book contains 48 full-length articles touching on every aspect of setting up and operating a sound system for a local band, from what to put in the duffel bag to what to watch out for during the show itself. New bands sometimes don't know the basics when it comes to getting a balanced sound, avoiding feedback, and so on. This book brings you up to speed fast. Even old hands will find a tip or two they hadn't thought of in there somewhere!

The author, a lifelong musician and recording engineer, has run sound for a local oldies band for eight years, and has already made all the mistakes, and forgotten all the items, so that you don't have to. These are real-world tips and ideas that will help prevent disasters at your band's next gig. This is the real deal.
