It Sounds Muddy - 2024It Sounds Muddy is a very advanced course, built for up and coming engineers to gain the tools needed to make it sound engineering a career. But, don't worry! We start with the basics.
***Day one schedule and topics October 7, 2024 ***
9:00 AM to 6:00 PM (Lunch Included)
* First we all load in!
* Full concert setup with multiple mixing consoles from Allen & Heath and other consoles based on the needs of the students!
We learn analog to make concrete knowledge of analog signal flow, then translate that into all of the major digital consoles.
* Beginner to advanced EQ theory including the most important knowledge of sonic elements of instruments, voices, including full big band/rock band engineering.
* Acappella specific engineering and EQ techniques.
* Signal flow basics to advanced. What is that center section of a console?
* Microphone selection. Types of microphones and how they are used.
* Digital vs Analog concepts of modern live sound including networks in modern digital sound, like Dante, Madi, REAC, and Ultranet.
* We will be virtually mixing using the Allen & Heath SQ5! You will have the choice of mixing a rock show, country acoustic show, a big band show live at the Venetian Las Vegas, Ray Charles Tribute Big Band show featuring Take 6, Kirk Whalum, Nnenna Freelon, and the Las Vegas Mass choir. We will also have the option of virtually mixing a cappella shows like Vocalosity, Take 6, DCappella, BackTrack, Women of the World, M-Pact, and more!
***Day two schedule and topics October 8, 2024***
9:00 AM to 6:00 PM (Lunch Included)
* Concepts in client relations, and how to “get and keep the gig”. This is probably the most important part of the training!!!
* The 3 keys to success as a live mix engineer.
* In Ear monitoring Theory.
* How to “Tour”, get the tour, keep the tour??
* Technical Knowledge vs. Creative Mixing, know yourself! A great engineer is Left and Right brained. Do you know where you fit? Do you know how to become more balanced?
* Virtual mixing practice for all participants.
* Further reinforcement of the “Sonic Elements” style of audio engineering.
* Business concepts to take your knowledge into a fully functioning business entity, plus social media.
* Virtual mixing! You will be thrown into the stressful situation of putting together a mix of a genre of music you are not familiar with. Country, Rock, Choral, big Band, A cappella, and Jazz. I might even be able to find an orchestral concert to throw your way. Anything goes!!! You will be challenged, and supported by the other engineers in the training.
