Sound Engineer pro Nathan Lively is your guide when starting your live sound journey! Learn all the important basics and more, so you can take your analog or digital PA system and set it up correctly, doing your first live sound gig or your own band’s sound with success.
Nathan begins by welcoming you and asking the important questions about live sound, then reveals some of the challenges and differences in live sound compared to studio work.
Next, Nathan starts at the beginning, covering how to compute your exact power needs for a gig, and then communicate it to the venue, so they can provide adequate power and not have any blow outs!
Speaker placement, stage layout, and speaker aim are then all covered in-detail, followed by signal flow and gain staging. These foundational steps are so important to having a great live sound event without feedback or other issues.
Nathan then goes into EQ for the overall system, setting up your analog or digital mixer, having a successful sound check with the band, how to adjust things during the show and much more.

Good and basic.
Maybe a little more on vocal monitors. Sounded good to the artist in the beginning, then during the show the trim had to be brought down some. The artist complains loosing monitor some. The problem stems from the artist not giving an appropriate vocal level during song check.

Very Good Course
There are some really good tips in this course and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in live sound reinforcement especially since this is one of the very few courses that covers this topic.

An excellent series
Technically sound but approachable and not overwhelming. I found it very useful to me as a one man band. I assume it would also be very useful for bands where a band member or friend is mixing in house.
