Mix The Sound, Control The Music !
Become A Sound Engineer In: One Weekend!

Sound Engineering Course

"Left alone at the desk as the opening band took the stage I experienced at first a few seconds of blind terror at the realisation that 'this was it' - I was on my own. A couple of deep breaths later I began the fight to regain self-control. "I can do this," I told myself, "I've been trained for it"...G.Styche..sound engineer student.


Becoming a Sound Engineer need not take years. With our: Two Day Live Sound Engineering Course we will give you the skills to be able to start sound engineering straight away. In just two days we teach you about live sound engineering, including setting up and operating all the latest sound equipment to start engineering bands, musicians and solo artists immediately!


Located in Gloucestershire we have been teaching live sound engineering for over 10 years. We are very proud of the fact that we have students attend our live sound training courses from all over the country and even abroad who then go on to forge new careers as live sound engineers.

So many musicians and engineers get frustrated when they know the sound could be better. With Base Sound you will get to understand how to sound engineer and learn the science of creating a great live sound.

Who Attends Our Sound Training Courses?

Quite simply anyone with an interest in music and sound. We have students who have already engineered that wish to learn more. We have complete beginners looking to start a new career in sound engineering. For others it's to get a better sound for their band and for some it's just a part time hobby they want to expand on.

Do I Need Sound Engineering Experience?

No previous experience is necessary as we will guide you through each step of the way and guarantee you a weekend of expansive learning through hands on experience and tutorials so by the end of the weekend you are ready to sound engineer your first gig.

What Is a Live Sound Engineer?

A live sound engineer is someone who controls the mixing of the sound at a live event whether it be the smallest of pub gigs right through to a stadium size concert. Pretty much all forms of live entertainment require a sound engineer whether it's a rock concert, a pub gig, live theatre show, live cabaret, classical concert etc. Basically anywhere where there is an audience enjoying a live performance will require a sound engineer. By enrolling on our sound engineering course you will aquire the skills to engineer all of the above.

when the band and the audience tell you it's the best they have ever had"
