01 / What I Do

Roles

I take on the job the production calls for, from designing and running the mix to keeping the whole audio department on track. One-offs and multi-day runs, in the house or on the road.

A1 / Mix

Front of house and monitors. A1 on Yamaha DM7 and CL5. Clean gain structure, dependable routing, and a mix that holds from soundcheck to strike.

A2 / Stage

RF, comms, and stage patch on full-format rigs with complex routing. The person who makes sure everything upstream of the console just works.

TD / Systems

Load-in to load-out. System design and setup, networked audio over Dante, and the call on how the day actually runs.

PM / Coordination

Crew, gear, and schedule across a production, so the technical side lands without surprises.

03 / Where I Work

Two Rooms, One Standard

Theatre

Musicals, opera, plays, and live performance. Wireless mic wrangling, cue-heavy mixes, and a rig that has to be invisible and reliable night after night.

Corporate & Events

General sessions, conferences, and brand activations. Fast load-ins, clean speech and playback, and a steady hand under a tight show schedule.

06 / About

I'm Ben Stacy. I studied sound design at CCM and now run freelance out of Austin.

I've worked A1, A2, TD, and PM across theatre and corporate live events. I like the calls where the whole chain is my problem, from the first mic to the last speaker.

The way I work is simple. Show up ready, run a clean day, and leave the show better than I found it.
