Hi all,
I'm presenting a paper about the use of the mixing desk as a creative hands-on tool. One of the aspects of my discussion is that I cannot find a suitable term that seperates these performances from the more traditional approach of sound engineering - setting an 'ideal' balance and leaving it at that.
One of my post-grad associates here at Huddersfield Uni mentioned that he has a memory of hearing something in German that he thought was appropriate but he thinks he may be mis-remembering. Something like:
regieur
Which looks more French than German but may jolt someone's memory? I have tried to google it but nothing comes up.
Any ideas, or also any phrase/title you might think is appropriate?
All good wishes,
Jb

...
regieur
possibly "Regler"?
This translates roughly as "regulator", "orderer" or [tongue-in-cheek] "rule-enforcer". "Regler" is a noun used to refer to pretty much any object/component whose physical manipulation controls a single (continuous) parameter (e.g. sliders, knobs, dials, but NOT buttons or switches). The compositional/etymological meaning of "regulator" might tend to suggest your "(ideal) balance" reading (the verb "regeln" basically means "to bring or restore order"), but imho (I'm not a native German speaker, but I have lived here for the past 16 years) those implications aren't really overt.

Klangregie
can be a name for this field of work, with the person doing it being dubbed "Klangregisseur". Google that on the web, or better, use ixquick as your new non-googley search machine and source of information!
kind, Peter
