Great questions!

Favourite consoles are the #DiGiCo #SD7 (digital) and the #Midas #Heritage3000 (analogue). These consoles offer enormous flexibility, catering to almost any workflow for any mix situations.

Digital vs. Analogue? I choose BOTH! They are both great for their own reasons. In my ideal world, as much of the sound source should be as old-timey analogue as it can get - nice mics, tube pre/power amps. Combined with excellent ADCs and distribution technologies such as #dante to move the signal where you need it.

My favourite thing to happen during a show was doing an act called "The Comedic Strippers" - 4 male "chip'n dale" "strippers" - the act included a bit where the music is supposed to stop and a specific time but doesn't, and the actors are all yelling at me to cut the sound but I don't (as planned before hand). They managed to whip the audience up to the point where they were coming back to me demanding I cut the music!

My personal worst was doing a screening of Dirty Harry. I was given a brand new Bluray of the film. I put it in, checked it out, screened it, and only after the film was done did anyone mention the film I screened was NOT Dirty Harry, but rather Dirty Harry II: Magnum Force. No one said a word. For over 2 hours. Turned out there were TWO blurays included in the case - Dirty Harry the OG was hidden behind an advertisement in the case!
