In this two-part interview, I sit down with Mike Schaeffer, FOH Engineer for Charlie Puth, and Josh Cruz, Monitor Engineer for Charlie Puth, to break down what it takes to build and mix a show at this level from both sides of the console.
We get into the completely different worlds of front of house and monitors, how Mike and Josh work together, the communication required between departments, and how they approach a show where musicianship, detail, and musical precision are such a huge part of the artist’s identity.
Across both parts, we talk about their paths into the industry, the gear and workflows behind the show, how they handle the challenges that come with touring at this level, and some of the decisions happening during a performance that the audience will probably never realize are being made.
What I really enjoyed about this conversation is getting both perspectives in the same interview. Mike is responsible for what thousands of people hear every night, while Josh is responsible for creating the environment Charlie and the band need onstage to perform at their best. Those two jobs are very different, but they have to work together seamlessly.
There is a ton packed into this conversation, which is exactly why we split it into two parts.
If you work in live audio, want to work in touring, or have ever wondered what goes into making a Charlie Puth show happen behind the scenes, you’re going to enjoy this one.
