Alan Carroll

Good sound goes unnoticed, and that's Alan Carroll's job. He's a Brisbane sound engineer with two decades behind the desk, mixing front of house and monitors on whatever console the venue or hire company provides. The work ranges from small rooms to large productions, so he can look after a band at a wedding reception as readily as a stage at a festival or a conference with several speakers. If you're putting on live music and want someone to run the audio properly, he's the person on the desk rather than on the stage.
