    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.

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

      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.

      i call BS. i think the dude is worn out and milking the campaign trail for what it’s worth. we both know that there’s no way any professional sound crew would ever let this happen.

        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.
