Advanced Outboard Equipment
Course
Who
Is The Course Aimed At?
This course is aimed at all those people that wish
to further their knowlege on the use of outboard
equipment such as Noise Gates, Compressors, Graphic
Equalizers, Effects Processors etc. There are many
engineers that can achieve a pretty good mix when
the band are, great, the PA is awesome and the
venue is a dream. However when faced with various
acoustic challenges such as a squeaky kick drum
pedal, booming bass guitars, feedback, mic spill or
simply a vocalist that will not sing at the same
volume then often the sensible and correct use of
outboard equipment can massively improve things.
There is much confusion about how and when to use
outboard equipment, how it is connected and what
the various pots all do. On this one day course we
go into detail on all the functions and setting up
of a broad range of outboard equipment to help you
take your mixing to the next level.
Who Can attend the Advanced Outboard Equipment
Course?
Anyone over the age of 18 who is keen to learn more
about outboard equipment and how to incoporate it
into their engineering set up. To get the most from
this course we recommend it mostly to those
students who have already gained some experience in
sound enginering or have completed some previous
engineering training such as our
