We were faced with a different kind of challenge today by people not turning up, we were lacking in numbers. It's quite difficult to set up both ends of the system with only three pairs of hands rather than five, because of this we took longer than we should. In a way it was good to have less people in the group because it meant that those that did attend; myself, Adam and Rob could learn more within the lesson by rotating setting up channels faster so we all had more chance to work on the desk. Despite having less crew it was still a productive session and I think Andy was quite proud of us all for becoming more comfortable with the desk and getting quicker at setting up the channels. We weren't all that much faster than yesterday because of the same reason I've already mentioned, but we still managed to get everything sounding pretty great.
Andy also took it in turns with us to go through the signal flow of the whole system so that he knew we understood everything. I was quite impressed myself by not needing too many hints and getting through it quite quickly compared to the others, if not the fastest.
It was a level 1 band that came in to soundcheck for us today and they really are so talented, I'm quite proud of them for getting though the competition the other evening too!
