rant

I don’t understand why people think that it is their job to tell me how to do my job ESPECIALLY when they have no idea WTF they are talking about!!! I mean, I was hired to do a job. That job was facilitated by ONE man who made the sound design the way that the COMPANY wanted it. I have to stay as close to that as possible to avoid lawsuit-i-ness. So it seems that some people on board don’t undertand this concept. I literally love loud music. LOVE THE POOP OUT OF IT. But at my FOH position its too loud. Hitting 102 dB, with an average of 98dB. The average age of our guests is Moses’ cousin. These peeps are ready to die any second and I am rock concerting their ear holes.

And to anyone who understands the basic principles of sound engineering, you cant just turn the stupid master volume up to make it “louder” the mix becomes total crap. You absolutely have to re-mix everything at the new decibel level. This is not an easy task when there is 15 minutes to show time and each scene has already been mixed and saved at its proper mix level. UGH. This show will sound BEEEEEEzarre.

Now I am eating peanut M&M’s. DOUBLE FRICK! I don’t need the calories, but I am stressed out. I cant wait for Ft Lauderdale, and 6 hours off the ship to get things I need and enjoy some starbucks!!!!!!!!! YEAH STARBUCKS!!!!!!

That is all for now. Show was weird. Im going to sleep; long day tomorrow. PEACE
