193. James Holt, Theater Control Software Creator & Theatrical Mixer Feb 22, 2023

Show notes

On episode 193 James Holt joins the hosts to talk about the theater control software he created as well as his experiences as a theater mixer. People with a background in mixing live music are often surprised when they learn how professional musical theater productions are mixed: extensive console automation is used to bring the active character inputs onto the console VCAs, which are then adjusted “line by line,” which minimizes the audibility of bleed and phase issues, and keeps open inputs to a minimum. They discuss how and why James developed TheatreMix, the challenges along the way, and more.
