Working with Live Audio Workshop (Afternoon Session) 2Funky Complex

An introduction to the fundamentals of audio engineering and harnessing live sound.

Honey Box Live's Amplifying Grassroots Talent Development Days are a way to grow your knowledge and experience through workshops run by industry professionals!

---

This is a taster workshop that covers a variety of different topics needed to understand working with live audio led by Joe Barber, a seasoned sound engineer and audio technician actively working in the live audio industry. This is an opportunity to get behind the desk as we explore how to make a band sound great, approach effective stage setup, create a strong live mix, how frequency affects delivery, what feedback is, and how to avoid it.

Before the workshop we'll host an industry guest talk over lunch (which will be provided).
Please ensure that you can attend the talk and whole workshop before you book.
