ProSoundWeb: Being organized and prepared ahead of the gig is a huge key for the independent audio practitioner, a.k.a., Lone Audio Ranger.
As I write this article, I’m smack dab in the middle of a multi-day, mixed programming event – a live outdoor cooking show with lots of wireless, video playback, record feeds, musicians, and emcees. This event is impeccably organized with everyone on the same page, and for the most part, happy. I chalk it up as a success.

More and more often I take for granted the knowledge I learn as the baseline for organized production. In PTM, a lot of the organization we are learning feels intuitive, and it is, but sometimes it's easy to forget that not every person in this industry takes this basic PTM course. Most of the tools for success that the Lone Audio Ranger gave seem like no brainers (who in their right mind would not label their audio cables?) , but if I had not learned those skills in high school and at the beginning of my undergraduate career, would they be so obvious? I think not. I am glad I am learning in an environment where I don't have to interpret napkin sketch plots or schedules given to me at the last minute. But I sure hope I'm ready to face those challenges if I come across them when I graduate.
