Music Production Consulting
Put our 25 years of music production expertise to work for your next event.
Many music festivals or band concerts start out as DIYs. You have a great idea, but you’re on a shoestring budget. And while you’re passionate about your music, you’re not sure how to go about getting a stage ready or making sure every act in your festival will have the play time you promised them.
MystiQue Sound Solutions is here to help. We’re musicians ourselves, and we enjoy consulting with start-up music festivals and smaller acts to help them put on a great first event. If you’ve got a great idea for a show or festival, but you’re not sure where to start, give us a call.
Our Music Production Process
Not sure you want to handle the production yourself? Let’s talk. Every event is different, so our first step is to understand your venue, your audience, and most importantly, your performers. From there, we’ll put together a plan for how you’d like your venue staged, what lighting and rigging is required, whether or not your performers will need a backline, and a sound reinforcement design to make sure everyone in your audience has an exceptional experience.
Our crew arrives early to take care of all the labor. We’ll set up the stage, rig the lights, assemble the LED wall and audio equipment, and test everything to make sure it’s working up to our high standards. Our sound engineers will manage the sound reinforcement plan throughout the show, adjusting in real time as needed. After the final bows, our crew will disassemble everything, leaving the venue looking better than we found it.
Precision Pre-Production Site Assessments
A flawless live production relies heavily on an airtight pre-planning phase. Our consulting workflow includes comprehensive on-site technical assessments to map the physical and structural realities of your chosen venue. We analyze structural rigging points, calculate precise power distribution thresholds, and study ambient architectural acoustics. This meticulous field discovery process allows us to engineer a production footprint that matches the venue’s physical limits while realizing your creative goals perfectly.
By resolving potential space, load, and audio-visual bottlenecks before your equipment trucks arrive, we eliminate costly on-site modifications and protect your production schedule. Our blueprints serve as a definitive guide for your technical crew, ensuring an efficient, safe, and organized load-in process.
Turnkey Multi-Vendor Coordination & Production Safety
Managing large-scale concerts, festivals, or corporate events requires seamless communication between various technical entities, artists, and venues. Our consulting services provide a centralized technical directorship that bridges the gap between your event planners, touring managers, and third-party vendors. We establish unified signal flow charts, coordinate shared digital networks, and create master wireless frequency grids to eliminate real-time signal interference or structural overlaps on site.
Beyond equipment placement and technical harmony, we evaluate compliance and structural safety. From assessing wind-load limits for outdoor stage configurations to enforcing local municipal noise ordinances and electrical codes, our consulting frameworks ensure your production is legally compliant, completely secure, and operationally resilient under any conditions.
