Talk about a thankless job, a mix engineer has to deal with horrible room acoustics and riggers who never seem to want the audio system to hang where the points were marked. He has to deal with the newest Fullsail graduate (that knows everything there is to know about audio and a better way to do it) aiming and tuning the system; as well as a production manager who is a front of house engineer that listens over his shoulder all the time. Typically the only time a front of house engineer hears from anyone when they think things are TOO LOUD. No one really notices when things are great.
Thus is the life of a rock star front of house engineer. I must say if you are going to be a rock star you better be able to back it up and I will tell you that Carter does just that on a daily basis. Starting first thing in the morning he has an incredibly high work ethic. No white gloving for this boy. Carter knows what he wants and works until it is achieved. Many times there are no soundchecks and every night I am impressed at how great the mix is from the downbeat. Carter is an amazing engineer I would highly recommend to anyone. As a fellow Belmont attender I say hats off to Carter...here's to being a Rock star.

Hasselholph or hasselholf
But of course you would not want to recommend him to anyone else, because then everyone in Casting Crowns would be very unhappy with you. Right?
Watch your back, Hyooz. and Farns. Way to fix it.
