🎙️ This Week on Late For Load In — Bob Strakele

We’re joined by front of house engineer Bob Strakele, the man behind the live sound for bands like Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold, Greta Van Fleet, and more.

From chasing a career in the culinary world, to starting a recording studio, to hitting the road with The Bouncing Souls, Bob’s path to mixing some of the biggest bands in rock and metal is anything but ordinary. His story is packed with lessons for anyone chasing a career in audio or the music industry.
