Dialing in Disturbed: Scott Jarecki, System Engineer for One of Rock’s Biggest Tours
In this episode, I sit down with Scott Jarecki, the System Engineer for Disturbed, who plays a critical role in making sure every note, scream, and explosion of energy hits with precision — no matter the venue. From massive arenas to outdoor festivals, Scott is the one responsible for designing, deploying, and tuning the PA system that powers the band’s legendary live shows.

We dive into the technical side of touring with a band like Disturbed, from speaker configuration and coverage strategies to real-time adjustments and handling different room acoustics every night. Scott shares his system design philosophy, the tools he relies on (like SMAART and prediction software), and how he works closely with FOH to deliver consistency and clarity in high-pressure environments.

If you’re a system tech, aspiring engineer, or just want to understand what makes a massive rock show feel tight and powerful from front to back, this episode is packed with practical insight and behind-the-scenes access.
