Spec notes
How working rooms actually buy.
Your first serious PA: tops, a sub, and the stuff that fails first
How working rooms buy a system instead of a pair of loud boxes.
A vocal chain that pays: SM7B, gain, and when to buy a condenser
Stop buying the third microphone. Finish the first chain.
Sanctuary stream: cameras last, sound and key light first
The order of operations that keeps a Sunday from looking like a phone stand.
Booth language: why FLX10, CDJs, and 1200s are not the same job
Buy the surface that matches the rooms you play — not the one that photographs well.
