    As a 20+ year audio professional, the only way this happens is an engineer that either doesn’t know what they’re doing at all (so not a pro) or they aren’t getting paid enough and are very vindictive.

    Literally thousands of open mic nights across the country run by teenagers getting paid nothing do a better job of preparing than this.

    I applaud whoever fucked this up cause honestly, fuck that guy.

      Why waste money on a pro when the deputy campaign manager’s cousin, who is very big in the audio, can do it for campaign merch and free soda?

        I mean, I know that’s tongue in cheek, but the results is the reason why.

          Yeah, there’s no way he was getting merch or free soda.

        I’m a broadcast engineer, specifically an A1. There is absolutely 0 chance there wasn’t a spare working mic. The only way the whole system fails if some moron over loaded and tripped the amps.

      As an amateur with an audio interface and a few mics - you don’t need to know all that much to avoid that mistake.
