Chad Griswold lives a full and rewarding dual life as the in-ear monitor<\/a> engineer for KC and the Sunshine Band and CEO of Mastermind Production Group Inc.<\/a> The Orange Country, California native groomed Mastermind from a garage-based business, launched in 2005, to a 9000-square-foot sound and lighting rental and full production company. Mastermind provides top-of-the-line gear to high-profile corporate clients, including Universal Studios and MTV. A \u201cdrummer since birth,\u201d Chad discovered stage tech while in his senior year of high school and, even during a short-lived record deal with his band Third Overall, has never looked back.<\/p>\n

Between KC and the Sunshine Band\u2019s summer tour dates, I had an opportunity to talk with Chad and find out how, as a monitor engineer, he facilitates a close relationship with a singer and the challenges he encounters. In addition to mixing in-ear monitors for KC, 10 band members and two background singers, Chad also mixes side-fill monitors for the show\u2019s two dancers.<\/p>\n

[MM] With 15 people onstage, it sounds like a large production, can you describe it?\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Chad] For the most part, once a KC show starts, it\u2019s a freight train; it just goes. The songs flow into each other. There are breaks, here and there, for KC to talk while the dancers have quick changes backstage, but it\u2019s a fully produced machine with segues, big over the top introductions and fanfares for some of the songs. There aren\u2019t any tracks playing either; it\u2019s all live and a lot of fun.<\/p>\n

[MM] After 14 years of working with KC, do your monitor mixes vary show-to-show?<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Chad] For the most part, I\u2019ve been with the band long enough that I know what everyone likes. Unless we\u2019re in a really horrific room, which sometimes happens, the band\u2019s mixes don\u2019t change much. They\u2019re pretty much set and forget. We\u2019ll do a sound check, and if anybody wants a couple changes, it happens then. During the show, though, their mixes typically stay where they are.<\/p>\n

[MM] What about KC\u2019s mix?
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Chad] That\u2019s a completely different story. Basically, it\u2019s like mixing a CD in his head every night. I\u2019m chasing solos and adjusting for how much he\u2019s singing. There are moments throughout the show where I know a keyboard part from the stage right guy will need to be pushed higher than the stage left guy and vice versa. It\u2019s an active mix throughout.<\/p>\n

[MM] Was there an initial period of gaining KC\u2019s and the band\u2019s confidence? <\/strong><\/p>\n

[Chad] Monitor mixing definitely entails a personal relationship with all the performers, but especially with KC. They see me at the console and trust I\u2019m going to get the job done and get them what they need.<\/p>\n

Initially, the biggest challenge for any monitor mixer is learning what everybody likes, making sure they\u2019re comfortable and helping them present a good show. If performers are uncomfortable, it doesn\u2019t translate well. You need to make sure the players can hear what they want, how they want. It\u2019s about getting to know everybody\u2019s personality\u2014not only the way they act and react as an individual to different things, but sonically, how they like to hear things.<\/p>\n

There have been a couple of times I haven\u2019t been available for a KC show, and we would have a fill-in guy. I\u2019d leave him my mix, everything\u2014he essentially needed to come in and push the buttons. But, when I returned, I\u2019d always get a comment that it wasn\u2019t the same. It could have sounded exactly the same as when I\u2019m there, but there\u2019s a psychological aspect of just seeing me and having that rapport.<\/p>\n

\"\"[MM] Did it take a while to develop that rapport with KC?<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Chad] Not really. For whatever reason, when I came into this gig, we hit it off right away, and I think that\u2019s part of why I\u2019ve stayed this long. I remember the first night. I went in blind, and all I was told was that KC doesn\u2019t come to soundcheck. I asked what he likes to hear and they said, \u201cHe wants to know that you and he hear music the same way.\u201d Well, that didn\u2019t help me much at all. Luckily, I had just come from working with another artist who wanted a full mix, so that\u2019s what I gave KC, and it worked out. He was really happy, and the rest is history. For some reason, this one just jelled quickly, and it has been a good ride since.<\/p>\n

[MM] Does the set change much during the tour? <\/strong><\/p>\n

[Chad] We have two versions of the set; one is slightly shorter than the other. Otherwise, the sets are pretty much locked. There are, however, other factors that come into play. This band really feeds off the crowd\u2019s energy. When the audience is alive, the band really comes alive, too, and everybody\u2019s into it. When the audience is kind of dead, it can drag everyone down. We did a corporate show with a bunch of lawyers standing in the back of a room who couldn\u2019t care less about the music. That, of course, affects every element of the performance.<\/p>\n

[MM] Does in-ear monitoring create any technical challenges for you?\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Chad] With everything going more digital, with more wireless everything and, with the wireless certainties getting taken away, it can occasionally create issues. For a band that isn\u2019t doing arenas and stadiums, 12 channels of wireless ears and 10 channels of wireless mics is a fair amount of wireless. In cities like Los Angeles, New York, Dallas and Miami, finding clear radio frequency (RF) channels can be problematic, especially in festival situations, where there\u2019s no RF coordination; it becomes a free for all. Probably the biggest technological challenge with this band is just making sure we have enough RF spectrum.<\/p>\n

[MM] What do you do if you experience interference?<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Chad] We don\u2019t have an auto-change or auto swap function on our systems, so I literally have to really quickly rescan for the frequency. I allow myself four spare frequencies for my ears, which are calculated for any modulation, and four for mics. If that happens, I can grab one of those spares and dump it. But then I need to resync the pack to the racked unit. It\u2019s not a seamless process by any means.<\/p>\n

[MM] Between running Mastermind and working with KC and the Sunshine Band, you must be very busy. Are you going on the road with any other artists?<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Chad] I used to do more onesies\u2013twosies, but not much in the last few years, because I\u2019ve become so busy. Personally, it has been an interesting dichotomy\u2014while KC\u2019s schedule has slowed a little, my company has grown increasingly busier. I\u2019m at this kind of happy middle point now, but I don\u2019t have a lot of time to go out with other artists like I did in the past. Through the years, I went with Whitney Houston to the Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, did a couple spot dates with Elton John, toured with Sugarland for six months and filled in for bands like Maroon 5 and others. It\u2019s fun to jump in and do something here and there, but lately, I just haven\u2019t had the time.<\/p>\n

[MM] Do you prefer monitor work or front of house (FOH)?<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Chad] I really enjoy both. If I do monitors, I prefer mixing in-ears, because I get to create little worlds in people\u2019s heads. You can make it seem like a CD and create an entire environment, which is cool. I also enjoy mixing FOH, though. At this point in my career, FOH is almost like a vacation, because I don\u2019t have 32 mixes. For the most part, I just have left-right-center and a sub. I got to mix FOH at the NAMM Show on the HARMAN stage, which was really enjoyable. Eric Friedlander from HARMAN and I tag-teamed a bit. He would do a couple bands, and then I would do the rest.<\/p>\n

[MM] How do HARMAN products fit into your work with Mastermind?<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Chad] Several years ago, we bought into JBL with VRX932LAPs<\/a> and VRX918SPs<\/a>, SRX 712M<\/a> stage monitors and the original Crown I-Techs<\/a>, and that\u2019s where we started building our systems. They\u2019re probably eight years old now and still work fine, everything has held up well. Then, we bought the JBL VerTec 4886s<\/a>, which became our mainstay. In fact, we may have been the first people on the West Coast to buy them and have done a ton of work with them during the past few years. We use them for corporate events and have now also gone into using the JBL VTX V20s<\/a>, which sonically, I personally love. And, my guys and I have just fallen in love with the rigging on them. All of our non-powered speaker line is JBL, Crown I-Tech 4x3500HD<\/a> and I-Tech 12000HD<\/a> amplifiers. We also have a bunch of the new JBL VTX M Series<\/a> monitor wedges\u2014the VTX M20s and VTX M22s are just fantastic.<\/p>\n

[MM] I understand Mastermind also features Martin Lighting.<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Chad] Absolutely. Nothing touches the Martin M1<\/a> console when you look at the power it has and the price it comes in at. We also have a couple dozen of the Martin MAC Aura XB<\/a> fixtures and a dozen of the Martin Quantum Profiles<\/a>. Those are both phenomenal fixtures. We used the Martin lights on the NAMM main stage the last couple years and fell in love with the Quantum Profiles. What you get out of them for the efficiency is just fantastic.<\/p>\n
