PoppaDom Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 In west end theatre !!!!! A little excessive don't you think considering the question was very ambiguous and changes depending on the scale, venue, type of gig etc etc..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzette Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hi Louis,Is this a project set by your college? If so perhaps you tell us what research you have already done and maybe ask some more specific questions after you have some answers, but need to know more.

No. I just see alot of west end shows i.e... musicals and wanted to know what the roles were and what bit of sound each of the No's controlled ect....

SoLiEn Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 this is a mere stab in the dark but have you considered something like 1. FOH Mics2. FOH Band/Orchestra3. SFX4. Monitor Mix like I said, just possibilities! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 orsound 1 Main FOH mixsound 2 mix assistantsound 3 on stage radio micssound 4 - not sure I've come across this one. We're assuming so much without specifics. So I'm guessing you've seen these in the show programme? It's just a way of indicating the hierarchy of the sound department with the most senior person as No. 1 doing the mix. Sometimes, in an effects busy show, a separate person gets allocated as assistant to him/her but this role may not be there at all - if the show is effects light. Somebody will be doing radio mic duties - and again, if there are two people, it's an extra number! In genera, it's good for people to be able to cover upwards, so No. 2 may cover for 1. Sometimes, depending on the team, if No.1 is missing, everyone could move up one, but then you get a show with slightly less experienced people on every job - so in many cases, they'll pick the most suitable person. Just to mess this up, some shows have a monitor mixer - who might be Sound 2 - I'm sure you get the idea. LX tend to have proper titles - follow spot op, board op, ass. board op, stage lx etc etc - sound seem happy with a number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
