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 Two Day Live Sound Course
