Recording Tip from George Petersen The "Phantom" Soundcheck In the studio, there's always time to check gain/levels before tracking. However going live - whether recording or sound reinforcement - the soundcheck doesn't always materialize due to truck breakdowns, missed planes or the reality that you were simply lied to about getting a soundcheck. In such cases, you need either the Hollywood, European or New York soundcheck (depending on where you live). Essentially, the band performs a short song (an instrumental is best) that starts off with kick drum, followed by the rest of the kit, and then the bass joins in and vamps for a while before the guitars and keys kick in. After the song, the vocalist should do a short welcome speech. This way, the FOH engineer at least has a chance of getting things right before the real music starts. - George Petersen |
