csberryI was looking at the pictures I have on my laptop just now (realized how old my wallpaper is and felt an urgent need to change it) and found a sad piece of evidence.
For a few years, I worked sound for the contemporary service at my church. Although I was only expected to take care of vaguely placing musical instruments on stage when setting up the various mics and sound cables, I was raised to do my best. If I'm going to do something, I don't want to do it half-assed. The stage was memorized by me and reinforced by notes and drawings I put in my notebook. I went to the point of photographing the drum kit after the drummer had everything set as he liked it. This all culminated in my making an illustrated guide for people who ran sound.
And this is from my first guide. When we did a new service at a roller rink for a year, I had a series of diagrams showing the layout of all of the instruments, amps, monitors, speakers, mics, power cables, and audio cables - and what order each should be set down on the stage. But that isn't handy, so I can't share those gems.
