Not sure where to post this question but: here is goes. I am a sound guy at my church but, there is a lot I need to learn. Since it is largely live music, I am curious what tools/games here should I use to train my ears for each type of instrument and vocal to make it sound better in the congregation? I think I tackled too much in my daily workout.
Check out the Live Sound Program https://www.soundgym.co/program/view?id=RTYU65UI&ut=school Covers the practical skills for live sound: soundboards/mixing desks, microphones, equalization, effects, dynamic control, acoustics, direct boxes, cables, sound checks, PA systems, etc.(Note: You may need to complete 5 daily workouts to get access to leaning programs, can't remember exactly)
2nd on Attaway Audio. He's a great tutorial teacher for the live audio environment. MxU also has great training content as well. Almost all the games available here will help at FOH, but the ones that have helped me the most are games focused on EQ (i.e. EQ Cheetah, Peak Master, Kit Cut, etc.) It is essential in getting faster at identifying troublesome feedback Freq's and getting the sound you're looking for out of instruments.
I would like to share a rock song that I took part in as Producer, guitar and bass player. This is my very first rock production ever. The song is about those times when rock music was just around the corner playing in every bar and club. Everyone was influenced and it was favoured by many. In today’s generation this has completely changed and the upcoming generations receive stories about completely different things and don’t really get motivated by music to live up to their dreams (here I relate to popular music which it was at that time). The lyrics describes these times with really amazing phrases and the song was released during the corona lockdown back in 2020, strengthening the lack of all these described situations that existed back then. Thanks for listening! 🤠
