This ‘Basics in Live Audio’ course teaches practical, useful tips and techniques from the ground up with the ‘ordinary guy/gal’ in mind. It covers the technical basics; signal path, microphones, equalization, etc. But as important it covers things that are not just technical explanations, but ‘real world’ topics like the personality differences between musicians and technicians, or the best and most effective way to communicate to the musicians on stage from behind the console.
