Rapid key cycles by major thirds (G–E♭–B etc.); demands compact, pivot-friendly voicings. more

Peaked/notched response from summing a signal with a delayed version (reflections or dual mics). more

Sustain a single tone to pivot into new key center. more

Shared cues/hand signals, MD authority, and polite correction norms. more

Pairs (Fl 1/2, Cl 1/2) with clear voice labels and rest handling. more

Standard baton patterns for simple/compound meters; aids ensemble cohesion. more

Plan meetings in advance, target panels, bring one-sheet/QR, and follow up within 48 hours with concise asks. more

Set preamps for healthy headroom; use PFL and reference tones to normalize channels. more

Saved states for mixes, mutes, and FX by song/section, recalled safely during the show with scoped parameters. more
