The weirdest gig yet

I've been lately doing live sound for about six years now. And seriously, the gig I have every Friday morning (not evening) until October has got to be the strangest one yet.

it's a concert series called window on the world, put on by the Columbus dispatch, and it features a local artist from Columbus every week. And when I say that it's put on by the dispatch, it actually takes place right at the dispatches office. Not exactly a venue conducive to live sound. The best part though, is that the concert is live streamed on Facebook. 

So this environment means I have to provide 3 to 4 different mixes depending on the band, The live stream, the outdoor speakers, and monitor mixes. And because I can't really monitor the livestream mix directly (because reasons), I have to watch the actual broadcast on my laptop, has a very long 15 second delay.

Despite the odd situation, I've been doing pretty well and everybody seems to be happy, only a couple minor hiccup so far. You can listen to the broadcasts yourself, since they are all saved on the Columbus dispatch Facebook page. Even better, you can listen to last year's broadcasts and this year's and see if there's any difference in the audio quality.
