Course Summary
Imagine being on stage, performing with your band, and you think you sound great. But you look out at the audience, and everyone is running for the door.
Anyone who performs in front of an audience needs to understand how sound and lighting systems work. The more you know about how things work on stage, the easier it will be for you to deliver a memorable performance.
Smart bands and DJ's will invest in their own sound systems. Eventually, this investment becomes a source of rental income and a great way to leverage a headlining spot at your local festival.
Our instructors have produced and performed at thousands of shows. We know how to make you sound great on stage.

We talk about controlling your sound in the Recording and Mixing course. But there’s more than one way to control your sound. Studio sound is one thing. Live sound is another animal altogether. Live sound is an art form that requires a balance of technical expertise and creative design. If you plan to perform on stage, then you need to learn how sound (and lighting) systems operate. Every venue will have someone who runs the house system. The more you know about sound and stage production, the more likely you will be able to work with the house sound team to ensure your performance doesn’t sound like mud. Or you could hang out backstage and pretend to be cool. Getting trained doesn’t mean you have to work alone. It just means you gain the right skills, so you can choose how it gets done. |
