Having been engineering live sound for a decade, I can tell you, you absolutely cannot engineer live music if you’re deaf. You could twiddle knobs under someone else’s command, but engineering isn’t about that, it’s about successfully controlling a large, very complicated system seamlessly.
Decent setup though, looks like probably a local playhouse.
Try again my friend, I am Severely to Profoundly Deaf. It is absolutely possible for a Deaf person to engineer live sound. Maybe you have heard of a miraculous invention called hearing aids/ cochlear implants. Hearing aids nowadays are so digitally enhanced they include noise reduction suppression, highly advanced signal processing, etc etc. research facts before you blatantly make random statements about something you know nothing about. Thanks for your time.
PS. You comment did not offend me in the slightest, my goal is to educate…
I find your responce amusing because by definition Deaf people cannot hear. I do agree that they can enjoy and create music, but I would challenge you on the Deaf being able to listen. Those who can are hard of hearing and not Deaf. (I come from a family with many Deaf members.)
They CAN! I had a friend in middle school who was deaf from birth. Back then a candy company released a little gizmo that clipped onto the stick of a sucker that would vibrate the stick at audible frequencies. Noone could hear it until you bit down on the sucker, you could feel the vibrations through your teeth. She thought it was gods gift!
It is too bad that there are not more female sound engineers.
Because females are the best sound engineers.
And I don’t mean in ‘that way’.
It’s more like the average male sound person does ‘male stuff’ in addition to sound stuff and that just brings down the quality of his work(?).
While a most females stay on task and do the job with most if not all of there energy and focus and thus in my opinion have a greater quality of work.
In my mind it is not so much hearing vs. deaf that has the impact, but rather male vs. female that has the largest impact on the quality of the job.
Just because you’ve worked with some males who aren’t focused individuals doesn’t mean they are representatives for the entire gender! If I judged all women based on a select few I’ve met I’d never let you do sound engineering because I’d think you’re far too stupid for the job (and seriously, “sound stuff?”)! Both genders have members who are moronic, sloppy, clumsy, and all other kind of negative traits.
It’s one thing to say that women, on average, perform certain jobs better due to physical norms (they make better drivers because they’re, on average, lighter weight, for instance). However, I strongly warn you against judging an entire gender’s average/overall mental capacity, because that’s where you risk starting fires, and I’m confident you, like the vast majority of all of us out there, lack the capacity to control the fire on your own.
Women make better sound engineers because they physically have a tendency toward better hearing, and they have a larger network of right-brain/left-brain connections in their corpus collosum.
Bitch please to you people who are against, joking or commenting that deaf people that cannot make music as I now will refer you to a deaf rapper, who wrote his own lyrics, signs them in signing language among with a hearing person rapping and the like in the background to make the song come to life for HoH (Hard of hearing) and Hearings as well.
I do not find this amusing because…
A) It was a joke to send the message of “Leaving the sound engineer alone.”
B) Deaf people can hear/listen/create music.
C) Liberals have no sense of humor.
D) Conservatives don’t tolerate people with no sense of humour.

Uh, that may have not made much sense. Haha! Even I have no idea what I do for a living, eh?

Try high school theater. A friend of mine put up that sign because people kept bothering her during the show

Deaf people can hear music? I don’t think you’ve quite understood the concept sir.
They CAN! I had a friend in middle school who was deaf from birth.

There is another female sound engineer out there?? Hello!!

i see what you troll’d there…
But everyone extrapolates and judges an entire group based on a limited statistical sample…
Or at least I do.
Women make better sound engineers because they physically have a tendency toward better hearing, and they have a larger network of right-brain/left-brain connections in their corpus collosum.
Wait, what?
Dammit! I wish I had thought of this when i worked in theater. I had to make do with my “A/C” and “DF” (dummy fader) labels.

This is one of his first rap video, Speakerbox.
In your faces bitches
