Sound team evaluation for Starlight Express

Things that went well - 

1. Sound equipment was set up quickly and efficiently 
2. We worked well as a team. 
3. Communication throughout the team worked really well. 
4. All equipment was working well although there were a few sound issues.
5. Rowan and I worked out how to convert MP3 into WAV for the sound effect beat pad. 
 
Things that could have been better -

1. Need to make sure that ALL equipment is in the right place so that when we come to use it we know where it is. We couldn't find the hanging mics when we needed them which was a problem for a while but we found them eventually  
2. Need to make sure that all batteries were charged or that we have got spares. For the radio mics which ran out relatively quickly and we could have also done another mic because the mic change between Poppa and Volta (characters) weren't often successful because they  were needed at the same time.
3. More discipline with cast when dealing with sound equipment but specifically mics. 
4.  The SFX beat pad worked fine however was a pain to operate because every time it got turned off it would reset and therefore I would have had to re-select all the SFX that was needed and that the SFX was all playing at different levels of sound. The velocity on the beat pad also made the SFX come out at different volumes which was an issue.
