Summary: If you've handled live sound, you know that the recipe for creating good sound in any venue has many steps. The ingredient list starts with an understanding of sound and how it behaves, the know-how to effectively use a sound system (including that little issue of not electrocuting yourself or your audience), and the knowledge to choose and use your gear well. Add a dash of miking ability, and stir in a pinch of thinking on your feet for when your system starts to hum or the vocals start to feed back. And mix. In fact, there really is no 'recipe' for creating a quality performance. With these pages, you get practical advice that will allow you to accomplish your stated live-sound goals in every performance. Learn how to choose, set up, and use a live-performance sound system.
