This is a good one:
I was running sound 2 or 3 years ago for Beauty and the Beast. The sound designer put the sound cues in a dj/techno board. Used for replicating drum kits it has 15 buttons each one has a sound effect and plays as soon as you hit it (great for making techno beats, not sound) It also has multiple banks so Bank A key 1 is different than Bank b key 1 even though you're hitting the same key. With over 50 sound effects we used a lot of banks. A-1 was the preshow announcement ("Welcome to Town Hall Theatre") B-2 is a wolf howling in the forest during a creepy mysterious scene. I forgot to switch banks and instead of a wolf you hear our artistic director's friendly voice. The actor's next line was "That's not a nightingale (ironic huh?) The audience got a good laugh and unfortunately that was the night the show was video taped :-(
