What is a Sound and Music Designer's job?
According to Dan Lawrence, who is also a music composer, his job a s a Sound Designer is more technical. The Sound Designer has to ensure how much of the budget is available to spend on a sound system. He will have to decide what will play the sounds – on a computer, for example – and if there’s a live band, they need to be mic’d up, and if anyone is singing onstage then radio mics need to be provided. The Sound Designer puts the individual cues into the computer in order to cue sound effects during the show or play.
Cooperation between the Sound Designer and the Lighting Designer is of the utmost importance...
