Bands, gigs, festival stages and shows: Sunshine Coast
An engineer on the desk for your band, festival stage or show, with our PA or the venue's. Front of house and monitors from one console.
Most venues on the Coast own a PA, and most of them are fine in the right hands. The difference is having someone on the desk for the whole set.
We arrive early, tune the system to the room, line-check every input, build the band a monitor mix they can actually hear, and then mix the show, riding vocals over the guitars, pulling the kick into the room, catching feedback before the audience does. The level is kept where the venue's licence needs it.
Pub and club shows, surf club Sunday sessions, private parties and weddings with a live band. Front of house and monitors from one desk.
Fast changeovers, a shared backline, a running order that slips. An engineer who keeps the stage on time and the sound consistent from the first act to the headliner.
Show operation from a programmed console, radio mics, band, cues. The same discipline our engineer brings to professional productions the rest of the year.
Playback that never skips, a mic for the announcements, and levels that suit a hall full of parents.
Panels, lecterns and awards, mixed rather than set and left. See corporate.
A multitrack off the console for the band's live record, or a stereo mix for socials by the morning.
Jack Scandrett mixes the show. He has 17 years on the desk, most of it in commercial musical theatre, where the mix is under a microscope eight shows a week, and he knows the venue systems on the Coast.
If a date needs a second engineer, we'll tell you who, and it will be someone Jack has worked beside.

Extras: a second engineer for monitors or a big stage, in-ear monitor systems, multitrack recording, a stage manager for a festival, and stage lighting. Everything is quoted in writing first.
A stage plot and input list, even a rough one on a napkin; a set list with anything unusual flagged; the venue's contact; and your start time. We send a one-page form that takes five minutes, and we ring the venue ourselves about their system and their noise limit.
Pubs, clubs and surf clubs from Noosa to Caloundra, the Eumundi and Noosa market and festival circuit, hinterland halls and wineries, theatres and school halls, and back lawns with a band on the deck. Travel across the Coast is included; ask about further afield.
Yes. Most pub, club and surf-club rigs are fine in the right hands. We bring our own mics, DIs and a console if the house one isn't up to it, and tune the system before doors.
Yes. One engineer runs both from a digital console for most bands. For a big stage or in-ears for a full band, we add a second engineer on monitors.
A stage plot and input list, a set list with anything unusual flagged. Our one-page form takes five minutes.
Yes. Multitrack off the console is a small add-on; a stereo mix for socials is included with the full rig.
