Live Sound For the Performance Musician
No matter how talented a performer you are, if the sound out front isn¹t up to scratch, you won¹t win over your audience. Even relatively inexpensive equipment can produce exceptionally good results if only you know how to use it....This course offers a practical guide to equipment and sound for small to medium sized gigs. It covers everything from choosing PA equipment and back line amplification, to selecting the right type of microphone and finding your way around a typical live sound mixer. Also covered are stage monitoring, effects and processors, tuning, DI techniques, radio mics, basic wiring information, amplifier and loudspeaker principles and even performance tips.
