Anyone know a good sound/noise limiter engineer?
I was in a venue last weekend that had a very sensitive noise limiter that threatened to ruin the night. I don't want to go into to much detail here but suffice it to say I do have plenty of experience working with noise limiters, and this one was particularly bad.
To cut a long story short I'm 100% confident that the music I was playing, speech on the mic, etc. was not the cause of the limiter triggering. It was the noise of the guests cheering, shouting, etc. - generally enjoying themselves. So it repeatedly cut the power to my equipment and there was very little I could do about it. Asking the guests to keep quiet had very little effect.
I have emailed the venue's management to explain the issue and to offer a couple of suggestions that might improve the situation. To their credit they are taking my email seriously and have asked if I know of a good sound engineer who could take a look at the noise limiter to see if needs to be recalibrated, if moving its microphone might help, or to offer any other suggestions.
Can anyone recommend someone who might be willing and able to do this?

This proably won't help you, but I work at a venue that has the exact same problem. The venue managers solution, to put some duct tape over the sound limiter microphone and do regular checks with a decibel meter. Probably not strictly legal but it's worked a treat.
