Sound quality.

I worked in life theater for almost a decade as a sound board op and audio engineer for a few local theaters.

People would always comment to the lighting board op how good the lights were.

But maybe one person in a whole run of a show would compliment the sound.

Boy oh boy, if a cable died mid show... The whole intermission and afterwards I'd have to hear "I do sound at my church and," or some variation of "I'm just a hobbyist but,".

You think I wouldn't pull that cable and replace it if I could???

Came to say this.

Yup, came to say the same thing. People only notice good lights and bad audio.

The whole intermission and afterwards I'd have to hear "I do sound at my church and," or some variation of "I'm just a hobbyist but,".

How many audio board ops does it take to change a lightbulb? One to do it, and ten more to comment that they could’ve done it better.
