Course Description

The Sound Kitchen is a sound engineering course aimed at anyone who is passionate about sound and wants to learn the how-to's of great sound. The course uses lots of music and it is both inspirationaland technical; but make no mistake, you will have more than your moneys worth of technical insight and input.
The instruction is music based. Therefore there are always audio examples (there is also a lesson that will help you develop your hearing skills with audio clips you can download). We use a Digital Audio Workstation so that you can immediately put into practice the concepts expressed in some of the lessons, ending up making music (better) rather than just hearing someone talk about it. Furthermore, if you wanted to, you will be able to use the DAW (within the licensed time period) to exercise some sound engineering routines by yourself independently from the course.
The course is very practical and the terminology is not overly technical (again do not assume that this is a shortfall, as often seasoned engineers have learned a great deal from the course approach and teachings). At the end of the course, you will be able to plan a sound production, choose well-suited equipment, set up a PA, and with practice, mix a production/song (live or in your home studio)."Ears before gear": is a sentence I coined to embody the idea that the most important piece of equipment to achieve great sound is the engineer. Ultimately great gear will sound poorly if the engineer cannot use it well. The opposite is also true that average gear in the right hands will sound great. This mindset is thematic across the entire course.

Instructor Details

Timoteo Alicino

With more than 3 decades of experience in event management on 3 continents, Timoteo Alicino is an invaluable source of knowledge, reliability and insight. He has made it his goal to ensure that the productions (albums and live events) that saw his involvement not only happened, but were a great success. He not only understands the complexity of sound engineering but he also fully grasps other important concepts: from budget constrains to working with volunteers. Even though he is used to working with world-class musicians and equipment, he functions exceptionally well within other contexts.
Born and raised in Italy, Timoteo started off an illustrious career as producer and musical director with the production Breath of Heaven, which toured through his home country in 1994. Prior to that, he worked as a vocalist on national and international concerts, including the March for Jesus event in Italy and the International Christian Arts Seminar in De Bron, Netherlands. His work also included sound engineering on major rallies for international evangelists and ministers from as early as 1988.
In 1995, he joined All Good Gifts International, a South African worship ministry. He was soon appointed as Director of Operations, and worked as tour manager and technical director for all their appointments and tours, and engineered all live music events up until July 2004. He devised a course on Sound Engineering called The Sound Kitchen, and has presented this at various seminars and

The Tutor is got the technical know-how of what he is teaching. I am so happy i paid for this course. He can use any object around, at random, to explain what ever topic he is treating at the moment. This tutorial is value for money!!!

I love the way he defines and analyse concepts. Makes it very easy to paint a picture in one's mind

Incredible so far. Loving it! :)

By David Williams on 11/8/2020

I have learned SO MUCH from Tim through this course! There are so many great concepts and great details about wires, speakers, acoustics and sound that are covered in this course that I have not been able to find easily in other sources. This course has been so incredibly valuable to go through! I highly recommend it!

By Karen Bustamante on 10/21/2020

So far it's making a lot of sense. I'm a musician, but I need to speak science. The analog board our church just got rid of let me listen and tweak until it sounded good. Digital is a whole new world. Instead of a simple high/mids/lows, I've got gates and dynamics and ratios and I'm lost.

Really enjoying the course and have learnt a lot already

By Francois D'hert on 9/26/2020

Very interesting and informative course. I'm not a sound engineer but focus more on (learning how to do) music production but still got a lot things out of this course that gave me a better foundation and understanding of how to control sound. Timoteo explains the concepts very clearly and with practical examples and excercizes which makes for an overall engaging experience.
