Step 3: Sound Tech:

For the unlucky person who's job is the sound technician, You should for the most part know what you need. Just in case though, besides your mixer, amps, speakers, cables, and mics, heres some things you may need.

1/4 to 1/4 in. adapter ( for adding cable if needed)
A set of various batteries
Bandaids
Aspirin
Extra mic and speaker cables
A few bucks in change
AC adapter
Gaffer's Tape

If you think of anything else, pack it! Don't second guess if you may need something. If you do, and do not take it, chances are you will need it...

Headphones might be good on loud gigs. And even though it's a pretty rough environment, pack those expensive AKG's anyway. When you're on the field you'll realize why.

Sound tech?!?!? Never EVER do any gigs without extra ground lifts. Can't tell you how many times I've defeated the incredibly persistent 60Hz buzz over the years.
