John Payton - Producer
Rob Summers designed and mixed our production of THE SOUND OF MUSIC on tour.
He is easily comfortable with large scale venues and musical productions and is clearly very experienced. He was always concerned with the detail of the design, working hard to balance the clarity and quality of the vocals and music whilst serving the wishes of the director and producers and led the sound team well.
He is clearly very adept with Digico systems and cares about the practicality of the sound setup and the effect of the design upon the audience, as well as the comfort of the cast and orchestra throughout performances.
He’s a cheerful fellow, and was a real asset to our team during his time with us.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
