I will optimize your venue sound system without buying new gear


About this gig
Stop buying expensive new speakers. If your venue (church, bar, club, or theater) sounds muddy, harsh, or constantly feeds back, the problem usually isn't your equipmentit's your room acoustics and system calibration.
I am an Audio Engineer specializing in live sound prediction, acoustic optimization, and digital signal processing. I help venues achieve clear, punchy, and professional sound using the gear they already own.
Most sound systems are placed incorrectly or lack proper phase and EQ alignment. By applying precise audio engineering principles and data-driven analysis, I can unlock the full potential of your current PA system.
How I can help you remotely:
- Speaker Placement: Calculating exact angles, spatial averages, and dimensions to maximize coverage and avoid destructive reflections (utilizing 2D modeling tools like ArchiFacile).
- System Calibration (DSP & EQ): Providing specific EQ curves, crossover points, and phase alignment using dual-channel FFT transfer function measurements (via REW or Open Sound Meter).
- Custom Console Routing: Building offline showfiles and tailored workflow scenes specifically for your digital mixer (e.g., Allen & Heath SQ-5, Midas M32, Soundcraft

FAQ
How can you fix my sound if you are not in the room?
Audio physics behave predictably! By knowing your room dimensions and speaker models, I can calculate reflections, phase issues, and coverage gaps using specialized prediction software. I will give you the exact settings to input into your mixer or DSP to correct the room digitally.
Will I need to buy expensive acoustic panels?
Not necessarily. I prioritize maximizing your current gear through placement and EQ first. If physical treatment is strictly required, I will recommend cost-effective or DIY solutions tailored to your budget.
We already have a volunteer/staff sound person. Will this replace them?
Not at all! My goal is to make their job easier. A poorly tuned system forces the operator to fight the room all night, leading to feedback and frustration. I will calibrate the system so your sound person has a clean, predictable canvas to mix on, allowing them to focus on the music.
My speakers are a budget/off-brand model. Is it even worth tuning them?
Absolutely! While I can't make a $200 speaker sound like a $5,000 line array, budget systems are usually the ones that benefit the most from proper EQ and placement. We can tame the harsh high frequencies and clean up the muddy lows to squeeze every drop of performance.
We don't care about a "perfect" mix, we just want it to be louder. Can you help?
"Louder" without clarity just equals noise and ear fatigue. When a system is out of phase or bouncing sound off the walls, pushing the volume only makes it worse. By fixing phase alignment and eliminating messy frequencies, your system will actually feel louder, punchier, and more energetic.
How is your approach different from just using an auto-EQ microphone?
Auto-EQ systems (like a DriveRack) only "hear" frequency volume; they don't understand time, phase, or musicality. As an active live sound engineer and a musician, I don't just look at graphs on a screen. I use specialized software to correct the physics of the room, and then I apply a musical ear.
