Running sound for an artist is about far more than pushing faders—it's about translating their music into an unforgettable live experience.

In this episode, I sit down with Joe Traux, the Front of House engineer for Mariah The Scientist, to talk about what it takes to mix a live show that connects with audiences night after night.
Joe shares his approach to balancing vocals, instruments, and the emotion of a performance while adapting to different venues and audiences on tour. We dive into the realities of life behind the console, the pressure of delivering a consistent mix, and the preparation that happens long before the first note is played.

This conversation goes beyond equipment and technology. It's about trust, musicality, and the countless decisions made in real time that shape what thousands of fans hear every night.
If you've ever wondered what goes into creating a great live concert experience, this is a behind-the-scenes look at the craft of live sound.
