but "soundman" or "sound engineer" are the worse, if you get to think of it, they all are useless. using a p.a. is not that hard to do and acoustic theories are fairly easy and uncontroversial enough to memorize; why the fuck are there these people who are always trying to turn your music down and look down on you because you didn't study "sound theory" or whatever? they all deserve to die and be replaced with monkeys, concerts would sure sound better and would be run smoother with monkeys than soundmen.
if we could only have all sound engineers move to australia and then we could sink the shithole to the bottom of the sea, then the world would be saved.

tell me what you know about sound engineering, lares systems, compression ratios, delays, how many times have you mixed anything more than a left right pa.... do you know how to set one up, what is a return line, what is normaled and what is half normaled, what is dual concentric, have you ever used anything bigger than a 12 channel desk, split all your signals to an obv, what do you know about mic technique? tell me all you know about a lares system, what is a good microphone, what is the difference between a dynamic, a condensor a ribbon a contact, how many out puts can you have to front of house, what is reinforcement, you think you know how to do it and do it well, come and do my job for a day, and you know what, fuck you i get to play the music i like in a 2000 seat venue with a line array anytime i fucking want and really loud, concert pa beats shitty little home stereo...... do you know how to tune a pa, do you know how to set limiting and other dynamics, can you do 30 sends of foldback for an orchestra, you are an idiot and you have no fucking idea what the job involves in the professional field, any one who mixes in pubs on a regular basis is not an engineer they are a mixer
