like on a body or in a space ... then you can see what is going on, and know
what needs changing. Otherwise it is very difficult. I started with sound, but
for many years did a lot more lighting than sound.

no more than the sound does, you can hear
what's playing just as
easily ... it is not easier to know which light needs tweaking on a
stage than which instrument in a mix, and no more obvious which
channel to adjust from the look than which channel to adjust from
the sound.
Based on my very limited experience in controlling lights I'd
say it's even more difficult. If what you see is the combined
effect of many lights it's not obvious at all what is the
contribution of each individual one.
