October 2019 Team Meeting

Production Journey

I was fortunate to join Nate, Eric, and Paul in an event storming session. We took a look at all the activities that go into producing an event at 2Rivers. In my mind, these activities always center around the preparation and the event itself. It was a blessing to partner up identifying what things we do now and talking about what we can do better.

Improvement Areas

Together we identified the following areas that we can improve:
PRIORITY 1: EQ strategy and philosophy
PRIORITY 2: Real-time communication between audio production team

Other areas to be prioritized:

• Aligning vocalists (stage right-to-left) to the way they are positioned on the sound board
• Identifying what triggers saving to the default scene
  
• Identifying what triggers saving a new or updated preset
  
• Learning how to make sure drums are always present in the mix
  
• Learning what countdown songs work well and when to start them 
• Experimenting with saving individual ear mix presets
• Training on how to use Spotify
  
• Learning the mindset behind creating customized Spotify playlists for specific events/themes
