By far the best audio course I have ever had. My name is Andy, I work for Biamp Systems and have seen a lot of instruction. Yours is the easiest and clearest one on live sound enforcement I have seen so far. Sharing your faith is the nest part.

I have been dealing with live sound for quit some time now without basic knowledge. I work for a company that has latest equipment that I use without proper knowledge. I got here to learn and improve my knowledge and skills so I can do my job better, with more understanding of what i have to do, how to do it right and why to do it that way... This course is informercial, Im enjoying it....

Enjoying the course so far! Teacher is engaging and knowledgable with a great sense of humor. I have some minimal experience with live sound, and this does a great job of explaining the basics without being boring before diving deeper. Easy to understand. Only criticism (not the instructor's fault) is that the captions are way off in many cases (transcribing "monitor" as "monster" and lots of other errors that make it challenging if you are relying on those).

The instructor was able to take me from knowing almost nothing to having a solid knowledge on the subjects. His personality was pleasant, his knowledge was amazing, and he was able to take all of his subject material and explain it in an easy to understand way. I highly recommend this course! Thank you very much for the instruction! I had a blast! Now to get out and use my new skills!

After going through a lot of mediocre sources of Live Sound Engineering training, this one hit the nail right on the head. David covers all the right stuff, at just the right amount. He is also very personable and fun to listen to. 5 STARS on this training.

By Millie Carr on 2/10/2026
Brilliant platform, easy to watch the course and stop and start as I need to. Course was clear and concise and explained the fundamentals in such an easy to understand way, especially with the added visuals to help further explain things that are harder to understand just by words alone. Absolutely brilliant!

Coming from a DJ/Producer background, with minimal studio recording experience, This course not only does a great job of introducing various concepts it also brings into light many acoustic and real circumstances that can occur with live sound engineering that one would not have considered.

A good friend of mine from the past has pretty much always had a band. He called and asked if I would do it, and I had no clue. I've taken Music Appreciation courses, and I have been playing classical guitar for over 30+ years, so I thought I knew. I went to 4 practices, taking lead from a drummer that once ran sound for a living, and I was completely lost. I was picking up bits and pieces, but I had no foundation whatsoever. This course helped me put it all together. I am now excited and not confused. I said there was no substitute for experience from the start; but without a foundation, it would have been impossible to properly train and leverage any experience. I highly recommend this course as the best first step to becoming a sound engineer. I always wanted to be an engineer.

Brilliant, technical stuff really clear well explained, not boring, engaging and fun, Thoroughly enjoying this and using it for my job - I am doing work experience with a local music venue and this is proving invaluable. Well worth the £15 to get a grasp of the basics. Cant thank you enough!

Great in-depth view on each knob on the mixer.. great course. Teaching is not complicated explains when things begins to get complicated. Thanks. Would like to ask for more updated course seeing the advance in this field.
By Sarah Lewis on 10/11/2020
THIS IS A PERFECT COURSE AND EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN NEEDING TO HOAN IN ON SPECIFICS FOR LIVE MIXING! THIS COURSE IS STRAIGHT TO THE POINT, BREAKS EACH PART DOWN AND EXPLAINS CLEARLY WHAT I NEED STEP BY STEP. THIS HAS BEEN A MISSING LINK THAT CUTS OUT THE COUNTLESS HOURS RESEARCHING AND WATCHING SNIPPETS OF SPARADIC VIDEOS FROM PEOPLE, HOPING TO FIND ALL THE MISSING PIECES TO THE PUZZLE. THIS IS SHARPENING MY MIXING SKILLS AND IS SHARPENING THEM FAST AND PRECISELY!
