Yope!
I'm not so 'down' with what is available around in the way of courses etc etc for Live Sound/Sound Engineering. A Google search can only tell us so much.
Could anyone, with a bit of a 'know', be able to point me in the direction of educative sources that cover Live Sound/Engineering?
We're wanting to transform someone with minimal knowledge into someone who can confidently use and setup all of the standard equipment to make a Live band sound half decent.
Online & Short Courses preferred.
Thanks!

I forgot to mention this site:
http://audioinstitute.com/index.html
No plug or anything - but if anyone has used it or knows anything of it - let me know.
To me, it looks a little corny?

For learning live-sound, I would suggest that online learning in this case, is simply not an option. , IMO, online learning is generally an effective and convenient learning medium but to learn live sound, you need to hear the power of an amplified system to assess and exercise appropriate control. Further, you really need to be 'hands-on' in order to learn all the different possible connections, connectors and routings, etc. So IMO, forget online for learning live sound.
As far as courses go, I googled "live sound" "short course" and found several. But I don't know what state you're in - or country for that matter.
You should buy Yamaha's 'Sound Reinforcement Handbook'. I've had it for years. It showed me how to solder more than few different types of audio leads and speaker boxes. Has PLENTY of other info relating to live sound. As an all-round reference for all things live & technical, this book is a must. Well-rounded & thorough. Simply excellent:

Wouldn't be surprsied if it is used in learning curriculums already. Very solid.

Hey,
There are a few things that I would recomend doing to learn live sound. The best thing is to go to a gig, chat to the engineer, and tell them that you want to learn what they know. Most are a little tempremental, But some are wicked and will teach you, so they can get some unskilled labour for a hand. The second is to get a PA yourself, ask questions and learn lots from the answers.
If you have any questions regarding PA and how it is set up, or what connections there are to be made, or even what gear to use. Ask.
SAE run cert 3 courses, that teach studio, and live sound. In sydney there is a college called JMC in Surry Hills who teach the same course.
Good luck.

Hi,
Maybe check out http://www.pointblankonline.net/
I know they that their courses are very good and taught by industry experienced pros. For the specific courses in Sound Engineering/Live Perormance/REcording /Audio Engineering just have a look at the courses page.
If your in London I also know that this company offer a Live Sound Engineering course taught in some of the city's most infamous venues, so you get real experience working with bands and venues at real events. For the London courses try; http://www.pointblanklondon.com/
Hope all this helps! Let me know how you get on.
