Course Highlights
Solve Live Sound Issues: Stage Bleed, Feedback, Phasing & Beyond
Live stages are noisy and full of mics. Drums and guitars bleeding into your vocal mics can be hard to manage. Feedback can be a nightmare. And phase issues from multi-mic’ed instruments like drums are often an issue. In this course you will learn techniques that will help you mitigate these issues efficiently and free you up to focus on the artistic aspects of the mix.
Learn Advanced Live Vocal Mixing Techniques
Learn how to go beyond basic EQ and compression techniques, in order to sculpt a detailed, nuanced live vocal sound that fully satisfies the audience. Learn dynamic EQ techniques that will help you deal with any vocal performance; de-essing techniques to reduce harshness while still leaving the vocal bright; and live pitch correction techniques that help the vocal be in tune yet sound natural.
Master Creative Techniques for a More Musical Live Mix
In today’s live mixing, it’s common to use classic studio techniques—summing, bus compression, and harmonic distortion—to help get us that warm ‘glued’ sound that we all know from classic studio recordings. There are, however, right ways and wrong ways to use such tools in live sound. Things can go very wrong if you use them carelessly. You will learn how to apply such techniques in responsible ways in a live mix.
Meet the Requirements for Any Live Stream
Nowadays, you will often need to mix simultaneously for a live audience that’s with you in the room, and for viewers watching a live stream at home. You will need to meet different loudness standards, and avoid digital overs in order to prevent unwanted compression and limiting to kick in once your signal is streamed to certain platforms. Learn how to measure your levels reliably and make sure you’re sending a good, balanced mix to all your outputs.
Your Instructors: The Leaders in Live Sound Education
As co-founders of MxU, the leading resource for audio education and live sound training, Jeff Sandstrom and Lee Fields have trained thousands of live sound engineers and audio personnel. As front-of-house engineers, they have mixed for top-drawing touring artists such as Chris Tomlin and for leading houses of worship.
