Hi Michelle from SD
Thank you for such kind words. It was nice to meet you as well, and I am so glad you told me about your daughter. I am happy to hear she has joined soundgirls and is finding it inspiring.

It’s still a male dominated field and it can be very daunting for a young woman starting out. It has been my goal with soundgirls to create a place where women can connect and support each other. I’m sure Mollie will find the SG community is really wonderful and incredibly supportive. Best of luck to her and thank you for supporting her in following her dreams!

Dear Michelle. We absolutely loved the Styx concert and meeting you on August 8 in Sioux Falls. Thank you so much for referring us to SoundGirls. As a parent of a young girl pursuing similar dreams, I found your story and the website to be SO supportive and encouraging. My daughter joined the organization just hours after hearing about it and she can’t stop thanking me for talking to you and the referral to the site. Your story about growing up was like reading Mollie’s story. I have a whole new perspective of the field and am greatly encouraged to hear about how happy and successful you are and we LOVED your advice to young women who have similar goals!!!!! Thank you, THANK you, THANK YOU for taking time to say hello to us in SD and inspiring girls like my daughter!!!!!!!! Michelle from SD.

[…] Michelle Sabolchick Pettinato- “My method of choice has always been playing a few songs through the system. I have a selection of songs I have used over the years, which varies a bit from time to time, and depending on the style of music I am mixing. The first track I use is instrumental with a nice fat low end, solid mid range and some crisp highs. I take a long walk around the room while it’s playing to get a feel for how the system is reacting in the venue. Are the lows building up in the middle? Is it too loud and too harsh down in front? Am I losing the highs up in the top rows? I make whatever necessary adjustments and then continue. I have one song that is heavy in the mid range, one with a big, fat, bottom end that helps clean up the muddiness, one with a lot of high mids to help smooth out any harshness. Those are my go to songs and depending on if I need to do more work, I’ve got a few others that I throw on.” […]
