Live sound mixing

Live sound mixing is the process of electrically or digitally blending together multiple sound sources at a live event using a mixing console.

Description

Sounds used include those from instruments, voices, and pre-recorded material.

Individual sources may be equalised and routed to effect processors to ultimately be amplified and reproduced via loudspeakers.

The live sound engineer balances the various audio sources in a way that best suits the needs of the event.
