Understanding Live Sound: Fundamentals and Possibilities
A free online workshop on Zoom
Supported by HSBC
With the advancement in technology available today for controlling and influencing sound, it has become imperative for all personnel involved in a live event to possess basic knowledge about the fundamentals governing live sound, as well as the possibilities for enhancing sound quality in such scenarios.
This workshop is aimed not only at musicians but also at technical personnel, such as budding sound engineers aspiring to join the live sound industry. The session will specifically address issues related to the behavior of sound in real-time during live stage performances. It is designed to introduce participants to various devices used, including microphones, speakers, mixers, etc., that influence sound quality. The role and impact of each of these devices will be explained and demonstrated with the help of live ensembles performing vocal and instrumental music. This will enable participants to understand how to achieve the best sound during a performance within the given acoustic conditions, such as the architecture of the hall and the size of the audience.
