Описание: “Live Sound 101 for Musicians: Essential Mixing Basics Every Band Should Know”

Description: If you’re a gigging musician running your own sound, this is for you. In this 15-minute session, I break down some core essentials of live sound — the real-world stuff every band needs to know but I see too many people missing.
From proper gain staging and EQing vocals, guitars, kick drum, and bass — to avoiding costly mistakes like feedback squeals, blown speakers, or that dreaded pop when you power up wrong — these are the fundamentals that make your band sound tight and professional on any stage.
These aren’t studio tricks — they’re battle-tested essentials from years of real gigs, explained in plain English so you can get your mix right every time you plug in.
🎛️ Topics include: • EQ and gain staging basics for live sound • Avoiding nasty surprises and speaker damage • Stage power-up sequence (the right way!), nailing your kick drum sound, Balancing your mix without a sound engineer
Get your live sound under control, sound cleaner, and play with confidence. This isn't every trick in the book but some essentials every gigging musician should be aware of to avoid amateur mistakes. But even experienced musicians may glean some good tips as well.

Please excuse some of the video glitches. This was my first time testing iPhone 17 recording with Pro Res Apple Log and what I learned was, if you're going to do this you should record to an external drive. The iPhone internal drive seems to overheat for anything over 5-10 minutes under Pro Res Apple Log and the video cuts out to let the processor cool down. So that's your bonus video tip learned from my trial and error. lol.
