Golden Preciado is a live sound engineer with years of experience mixing in venues ranging from intimate clubs to large stages, corporate events and broadcast environments. Through real-world shows, soundchecks, and the countless challenges that come with live production, she has learned that the best lessons in audio rarely come from manuals—they come from the stage.
Through The Soundcheck Diaries, Golden shares practical insights, problem-solving strategies, and stories from the mix position. Her goal is to help sound engineers, church volunteers, musicians, and anyone running sound understand not just how things work, but why they work.
Each story reveals a lesson learned somewhere between the stage and the console and beyond.
