\"\"<\/a>Chris Huff of Behind the Mixer wrote an excellent post about the Super Bowl Half-Time Debacle:<\/p>\n

We totally agree with Chris. We cringed as we watched the half time show — missed cues, lack of vocal compression on a singer, and a television audio mix that had the depth of a bad IEM mix… so what happened?<\/p>\n

We don’t know what went wrong and we’re not going to be quick to judge. However, there are a few lessons that can be learned:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You never know what could happen, the quality of audio production can tank for a variety of reasons. If everything turns south always have a back up plan.<\/li>\n
  2. Someone could easily change a setting on the recording device, it’s important to know the equipment well enough to quickly identify and fix it.<\/li>\n
  3. Things come up, it’s important to have a fill in engineer available just in case you fall ill or have a family emergency.<\/li>\n
  4. In the case of submixes\u2026imagine if the drummer\u2019s small stage mixer was sending a terrible mix during the first set of the service. Know what to do to fix it!<\/li>\n
  5. Imagine if your digital mixer had the settings reset (and you lost the saved setting). Could you rebuilt the mix from scratch during the first song? What would you prioritize?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Better to learn from someone else’s mistake … it all goes back to the Boy Scout motto\u2026always be prepared.<\/p>\n
