Late Show music mixer Harvey Goldberg records and mixes every live performance inside the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York.

Using a combination of analog-style workflow and Pro Tools recording, he captures performances as they happen live, preserving the energy and feel of the moment instead of rebuilding it later in post.

After decades of mixing music in New York, Harvey still approaches every performance chasing the same feeling: hearing something on TV that makes people go "wow."

Late Show monitor mixer Alan Bonomo builds custom in-ear monitor mixes for every musician on stage inside the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York.

Because The Late Show airs live, stage volume is kept as controlled as possible, with most of the mix delivered through stereo IEMs while floor wedges cover the core rhythm section.

Talkback systems also allow the band and crew to communicate with each other live during the show.

Late Show Stage A2 Jonathan Herrera helps coordinate every live music performance inside the historic Ed Sullivan Theater in New York.

He coordinates all live music acts, gathering input lists, mic requirements, instrument setups, and monitor needs, then building production paperwork for the crew before the band arrives.

During the show, the house band uses iPads and in-ear monitors to learn and rehearse songs on the fly mid-taping, a conversation happening entirely out of view of the 450-person audience.

Late Show front of house mixer Greg Allen has had his coffee sitting to the left of the same desk for years.

From there, he runs two Yamaha CL5 consoles, mixing every laugh, guest, band cue, and audience reaction for 450 people inside the iconic Ed Sullivan Theater.

For Greg, the show starts the moment the audience walks through the doors. And after hearing him talk about the crew, and the energy of the show, you can really feel how much this place means to the people behind it.

Hamilton music director Roberto Sinha took me inside the pit and straight to his conductor podium, living beneath the stage, where actors storm just inches above your head and the front row is right behind you.

As a massive fan, this was genuinely surreal. A tiny, perfect chaos of keyboards, banjos, Ableton triggers, and conductor cameras, all holding Broadway together from underground!

Nothing inspires me more than the immense craft hiding behind what looks effortless on stage.

NBA on NBC’s Ben Majchrzak breaks down how audio is mixed on a live NBA broadcast.

Inside the truck, hundreds of faders are available, but the mix comes down to a few key elements. Announcers stay steady, while effects are brought in and out to follow the action on the court.

Ben’s approach is simple. Less is more. Focus on the ball, react in real time, and let the game drive the mix!

NBA on NBC’s Ben Majchrzak explains how every arena shapes the sound of an NBA broadcast.

Each venue has its own acoustic profile. From crowd intensity to building design and PA systems. Some arenas are loud and energetic, others introduce resonance and buildup that affect how microphones respond.

The mix stays consistent, but the environment changes every night. The goal is to capture the true scale and energy of the game for viewers at home.

NBA on NBC’s Ben Majchrzak showed me how much thought goes into something most of us never question. Crowd sound!

Every mic placement, every pan, even how it folds down to stereo… it’s all intentional.

Multiple crowd mics are placed around the arena and routed across the sound field, some feeding the surrounds for energy, others supporting the front mix.

NBA on NBC’s Ben Majchrzak showed me what it’s really like mixing a live NBA game and it’s intense.

From a truck outside the arena, he’s managing multiple comms (producer, director, AD) while tracking the ball in real time. His fingers follow the play, bringing mics in and out to match the action and shape what millions hear every second.

It’s controlled chaos, but incredibly precise! And when it’s working, you don’t notice it at all, you just feel like you’re in the game.

Ben Majchrzak mixes the NBA by following the ball. As it moves, he tracks it in real time, riding faders and bringing mics in and out to match the play.
