An Instructional Video with Ron Davis
Ron Davis

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 just 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.

Things COVERED in this DVD:

• What EVERY button and knob on YOUR console does (and doesn't do) - No more feeling like a 'deer in the headlights'.
• Where to use certain microphones and why
• Why are the personalities of musicians and technicians so different?
• When and when not to use EQ? And if so, which frequencies?
• How to make YOUR system sound better, just by following a few simple set up approaches.

Topics include Signal Path, The Console, Getting Basic Levels, Monitors, Microphones, Equalization, Musicians and Technicians, Practical Applications.

Includes a FREE BONUS RESOURCE CD-ROM full of vital information to help you reach that 'next level'. Stay organized and inspired with these useful PDF print outs which include input lists, stage plots, signal path diagrams and a whole lot more.

Also included in this package is a FREE CD-ROM GAME “Audio Engineer Challenge” which allows you, the ‘contestant’, to answer a series of questions that when answered correctly eventually reaches the golden million point question that gives you the title ‘Audio Engineer’.
